Let's continue with a few more mindsets for success:
 1) Start using a "Good Enough" approach. Perfectionism is doing nothing to move you forward.
 2) Use your ONE mind to do ONE thing. Multitasking is splitting your focus and energy. It's also delaying your success.
 3) Let go of control. Some things are not up to you. Figure out what they are and move on.
 4) Say NO to anything that does not directly support your goals. Don't do something in hopes of getting what you want. Do what you KNOW will get you what you want.
 5) Hang out with supportive, positive, and nurturing people. Let toxic people create their own group.
 6) Be willing NOT to be liked. If you're avoiding making folks unhappy, you're not moving toward your dreams.
 7) Focus on the story of YOU. Minimize social media and television. When you do, you also minimize the influence others have on you.

Focusing on YOUR Important
As a child, I remember heading out the door for a day in an endless adventure. It usually concluded with a game of Hide-And-Seek.  
Those days seemed to last forever.
These days, most of us are still running until the sun goes down. But there's so much to do that we rarely have time to ponder the bigger picture.
Remember-
You will always find time for your most important tasks. You will eat, sleep, pay bills, feed the dog, and take care of your children - no matter how crazy life gets.
When life gets crazy, and you scream, "Something has to GIVE…" it's usually your dreams for the future that get put off.
Steven Covey reminded us how important it is to focus on what's important as much as possible. Make sure you put yourself on the list too. Then, when life goes off the rails, fix it as soon as possible, get back to what's essential, and keep moving.
Not all dreams come true, but the important ones always seem to come your way.

Focusing on YOUR Important

The Will and Way of Change in 30 Days
Only a silly person thinks you can change everything about your life in 30 days - right?
Call me silly, but everything I've ever done was rooted in a 30-day sprint - even if I didn’t know it.
Here's how you do it:
1) Set what Napoleon Hill calls a Major Definite Purpose or a Big Ass Goal.
2) Stop negative self-talk. Others may throw sticks and stones; don't throw them at yourself.
3) List all the reasons you CAN be successful. Make it a long list.
4) Decide that you will do whatever it takes to reach your goal. For the next 30 days, nothing will stop you.
The impossible becomes possible when you are focused, willing to take massive imperfect action, and won't take no for an answer.
By the way…
When you seek or follow your purpose in life, your life will become one big non-stop happiness sprint.

The Will and Way of Change in 30 Days

Interpreting Your Calling
Is the Universe whispering and nudging you to move in a specific direction? 
Before I go on, I must admit that I am certainly not an expert in the Universe or if it works in our life. The magic of gravity is enough to blow my mind, and the only Secret I know is that you are the only one in charge of getting what you want in your life.
But what if you know that Universe is speaking to you? Calling you, compelling you to get off the sofa and do what you say you want to do? But you still won’t do it?
Many years ago, I was in the habit of listening to those voices whispering inside my head and following whatever I thought they said for me to do. Eventually, after many false starts, I realized the messages were not black or white. There didn’t seem to be any particular order, and they were almost always out of context with my life. In other words, mindlessly following my feelings often ended with me not getting what I wanted, and whatever I wanted to get away from became more assertive in my life.
One night at about 3 AM, a thought popped into my head—
“Maybe I’m not supposed to do what I’m hearing? Maybe I’m stuck in my thinking, and the Universe is giving me more of what I’m focused on.
You get what you focus on. That’s a basic rule of life. 
It made sense to me that whatever I was focused on would linger in my brain until I questioned it from a different angle - whether I wanted to your not. That’s when I started flipping the script and created my 180 Degree Rule.
Now, when a thought pops into my head and convinces me of the direction I’m supposed to run with all my enthusiasm, I pause and ask—
“What if it really means I’m supposed to move away instead of forward?”
With that new way of thinking, everything changed. It didn’t get easier, and sometimes took time to choose a path. Still, questioning the context of the wisdom as it applied to my current life and experience allowed me to avoid dead ends and frustration. 
And another thing happened…
My life became more balanced and calm by going into “trust but verify” mode. Instead of chasing dreams of what might be a reality, I focused on adjusting my reality to be more like the vision I held in my heart.
When the Universe speaks to you, it doesn’t always include context and directions. Take a minute to decide if you’re supposed to move toward or away, and clarity will emerge.

10 Daily Rules for a Happier You
Every day, we all jump into the craziness of life without much thought of the basic rules we use to run our day. 
Here are a few of mine. You can borrow them if you would like:
1) Do what makes your heart sing. You'll always feel better when you are dancing down your path.
2) Believe anything is possible. As soon as you believe - everything IS possible.
3) Be nice to others. Expect them to do the same. No further explanation is required.
4) Believe in people and encourage their dreams. When you do, they'll return the favor.
5) Do the right thing. If you mess up, say you're sorry, try again. 
6) Meet people where they are in their lives and walk with them to where you both want to go.
7) Do what you say you will do. It's always better to under-promise and over-deliver. 
8) Make lemonade out of lemons. Everything is fixable if you have the right mindset.
9) Keep things simple. Yup.
10) Relax. Life is short. Double yup.
Focusing on life's big picture makes it easier to enjoy your daily experiences.

7 Stoic Rules for Happiness
I'm a fan of Stoic Philosophy. While it may be over 2,000 years old, its practicality is still valid.
These rules to live by will help you have a happier life:
1. If you're going to learn and succeed, be humble. There is always someone more intelligent, more successful, and wiser.  
2. Find the right scene. Choose your friends and situations. If you want to rise in life, you can't allow yourself to be held down by others.
3. Protect your time. Seneca said, "We're tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers." Life is short.
4. Never do anything out of habit. Always think about how you can do things better, and always question yourself. 
5. Keep it simple — do your job. Approach every task as if it were your last because it very well could be. 
6. Adapt and learn from failure. Using your success to justify complacency is common. It's also easy, which is why most people do it. You can do more and be better.
7. Live below your means. The more you need work to maintain your needs, the less you will enjoy what you have.
Everything in life comes down to keeping things simple and mastering the basics. That's how you get the success you deserve.
