Stop blaming other people“an important decision I made was to resist playing the blame game. the day I realized that I am in charge of how I will approach problems in my life, that things will turn out better or worse because of me and nobody else, that was the day I knew I would be a happier and healthier person. And that was the day I knew I could truly build a life that matters.” – Steve Goodier
2. Stop making excuses“one day I realized that everything that I get out of life, is exclusively a result of my actions. that is the day I became a man.” – Nav-Vii
3. Ask yourself how other people impact you“nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky because you are still clinging to a false center. that false center depends on others, so you are always looking at what people are saying about you. And you are always following other people, you are always trying to satisfy them. You are always trying to be respectable, you are always trying to decorate your ego. This is suicidal. Rather than being disturbed by what others say, you should start looking inside yourself…”

The Cliff Notes:

• Our job is not to give you the answers of what you “should do.”
  
• When you look for people to tell you what you should do, you are really looking to place the responsibilities of your actions on someone else.
  
• What’s more important than knowing whether a tradition is “right” is knowing whether it’s right for us.
  
• You are capable of things beyond your wildest dreams.
  
• The punishment you give yourself after a mistake is usually the same type of punishment you used to receive as a child.
  
• Simply understanding the source of your obstacles does not automatically solve your obstacles.
  
• class=”s1″>Stop letting your life be dictated by your fears.
  
• Take a risk of saying yes to an opportunity that can make the difference you truly want.
  
• Stop waiting for “someday” because that day never comes. Take the risk now.
