We cannot move casually into a better future. We cannot casually pursue the goal we have set for ourselves. A goal that is casually pursued is not a goal; at best it is a wish, and wishes are little more than self-delusion.

Pay attention. Don't just stagger through the day.

One of the best places to start to turn your life around is by doing whatever appears on your mental "I should" list.

The key to turning dreams into reality is action.

Every time we choose action over ease or labor over rest, we develop an increasing level of self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence. In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source.

Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it and spend it rather than invest it.

If you could do better, should you?
