6. You must have a mission statement in life. This is simply a set of guiding principles which clearly state where you are going and where you want to be at the end of your life.

7. Associate only with positive, focused people you can learn from and who will not drain your valuable energy with complaining and uninspiring attitudes.

8. Make an effort to be humorous throughout the day. Not only is it beneficial from a physical view point but it diffuses tension in difficult circumstances and creates an excellent atmosphere wherever you are.

9. Become a highly disciplined time manager. There are roughly 168 hours in a week. This surely allows plenty of time for achievement of the many goals we desire to accomplish. Be ruthless with your time. Set aside a few minutes each morning to plan your day.

10. Stay on purpose, not on outcome. In other words, do the task because it is what you love to do or because it will help someone or is a valuable exercise. Don't do it for the money or the recognition. Those will come naturally. This is the way of life.
