Know you upside, know your downside.

"It's your world, so live in it." Johnny Clegg

Every moment you are on this planet you life moves forward. You are only allocated a certain amount of time on this earth, tomorrow is never promised. 

Don't live in fear to live. Every decision you face can be evaluated and the best choices made, even when it all seems overwhelming.

Give up on not going for it.

"Who dares wins." Special Air Services (SAS).

You can only win it if you in it. All great leaders and business people fail, its not the failure that defines them, its their ability to get back up and learn from the failure.

Give up wasting time.

"The trouble is, you think you have time" Jack Kornfield

Remember you will die......so never stop creating your legacy and doing the things that enrich your life.

Give up your need need to be liked.

"You can be the juiciest, ripest peach in the world, and there's still going to be people who hate peaches." Dita Von Teese

You cannot be liked by everyone, get over it. Think about this....if everyone likes you, it means you disagree with no one, which in turn means you don't stand for anything specific.

Give up on saying YES to things that don't support your goals.

"He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly." James Allen.

Successful people know that to attain their goals they have to say no to certain tasks, activities, outings and demands from their friends.

Give up your need to control everything.

"Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us." Epictetus

Detach from the things you cannot control, they will only cause stress and anxiety.

Give up multi tasking.

"Most of the time multitasking is an illusion. You Think you are multitasking, but in reality, you are actually wasting time switching from one task to another." Bosco Tjan

Don't be a "jack of all trades, master of none" do one task properly and then move on to the next.

Give up believing in the "magic bullet."

"Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." Emile Coue

Successful people improve and make adjustments every single day, they evolve. Compound these small daily improvements and over time you will see massive results. Just 1% a day means a 100% improvement in a little over 3 months!

Give up the fixed mindset.

"The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways." Robert Greene

Talent alone does not lead to success, unless you luck out. Successful people know that it takes hard work and perseverance. They invest an immense amount of time on a daily basis to develop a growth mindset, acquire new knowledge, learn new skills and change their perception so that it enhances their lives.
