A daily routine built on good habits and disciplines separates the most successful among us from everyone else. The routine is exceptionally powerful.

Have you ever been bitten by an elephant? How about a mosquito? It's the little things in life that will bite you. For most of us, it's the frequent, small and seemingly inconsequential choices that are of grave concern.

Forget about willpower. It's time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams. The wisest and most motivating choices are the ones aligned with that which you identify as your purpose, your core self, and your highest values. You've got to want something, and know why you want it, or you'll end up giving up too easily.

Everything you need to be great is already inside you. Stop waiting for someone or something to light your fire. You have the match.

Fear doesn't prevent death, but it certainly prevents life.
