Feeding yourself lies or half-truths will lead to the forming of a reality that doesn’t actually exist past the confines of your psyche.

Surround yourself with people who are brilliant at what they do, who share your vision, and who are brave enough to disagree with you. And put your trust in them.

Treat challenges as an opportunity to refocus your strategies and open up new horizons.

If your actions aren't advancing your goals, stop and ask why.

Challenging situations can be uncomfortable, particularly if they involve stepping out of your comfort zone to learn a new skill or kick-start a new venture. But those are the times that will carry you through future difficulties.

Don't allow yourself to be satisfied with your success. Critique what you've achieved and ask what you can learn from others.

Embracing and reframing failure or setbacks means developing goals to help you exceed expectations next time.

Just because you’re changing doesn’t mean you’re not in control of the person you become.

It’s okay to grow. It’s okay to change. But it’s not okay not to recognize each change for what it is.
