Yes, take back your life. It is your life. You don’t need permission to live your life. If you are not living it, you are wasting it.

If you are not taking back your life, you are giving it away.

To take back your life, according to Brian Tracy, ‘You must be absolutely clear about who you are as an individual in terms of your talents and skills and desires.’

Every mistake that you will make is going to be because you are unclear about what you’re trying to accomplish, unclear about your goals.’

‘If you’re not organized or working towards your goal step-by-step, you must always work for someone else who can discipline you and keep on your case.’

‘You should always look for ways to do more than you’re paid for. Look for ways to put in more than you take out. Look for ways to help people to be more successful.’

‘If you want to be successful, accept responsibility– no excuses, no someday.’

Your success in life will be determined by the value of your contribution, by your productivity, by the amount of work that you finish, and the value and the quality of the work that you do.’

If you’re always working on high-value tasks and getting them done quickly and well, you’re going to have a fabulous life; if you’re not, no one can help you.’

‘You can only move ahead in your career to the degree to which you get things done and you start and complete important tasks.’

‘Become known as the person that really produces results.’

Don’t ever let anybody talk you into the idea that you’re not here to please or help your boss. That’s the only reason that you’re at your job.’

Get better and better at what you do.’
