There is a caveat to my 'you already have the answers' theory that becomes painfully apparent when you find yourself out possibilities. Here is what you do in these scenarios.

One of my earliest forays into personal development was an email newsletter. The simple tenant it tried to prove, you already have the answers you need inside of you, as long as you are asking the right questions.

Those shiny reminders of past times can become unexpected anchors to a past life that you need to move on from. Clear the clutter and put away the old trophies.

Sheer will and determination can topple just about any obstacle. But some obstacles are not worth the massive effort needed to attempt to topple.

I talk often about the people who need to be left behind in order for you to make progress. It's time for you to take that message to heart.

Save yourself the trouble of making an excuse and save them the larger disappointment. Don't agree to something you have no intention of fulfilling.

Next time you are in the act of committing some wrong towards a person, do not make an effort to stop and apologize. Just right the wrong on the spot.

It is easy for us to get so wrapped up in our frustrations that it becomes easy to point a finger at the source of your distress. Except they may not be the true source of your distress.

Never try to excuse your faults as 'keeping it real,' but don't totally discount their role in influencing your strengths and balancing out your personality.

You will never have a perfect time and rarely a good time to act. But the opportune time is whenever you have the energy and capacity to work a task.
