Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.

Provide more service than what you get paid for

You must be willing to do things today others won't do, in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have

Give yourself a break. Stop beating yourself up! Everyone makes mistakes, has setbacks and failures. You don't come with a book on how to get it right all the time. You will fail sometimes, not because you planned to, but simply because you're human. Failure is a part of creating a great life. Stand up to it and handle it with grace. Because, you can.

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.

Once you have dared to dream, I believe you MUST pursue that dream. If you do not pursue your dreams they will consume you; the knowledge that you had a dream but did not pursue it is killing knowledge. Consider it absolutely necessary to go after your dreams.

Do something about your life now.
