A great life starts with a great decision. But when it comes to your own life, do not wait for a perfect decision.

You have got to make one, not two, not three, decisions. Because if you do not make one, nothing is going to get done.

Decide now, today, not tomorrow. Because if you do not have the courage to decide for yourself, life is going to do it for you.

People are going to do it for you. If you don’t want that to happen to you, then begin with what you have, complete or incomplete, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you have decided to make a difference in your life, that you are tired of living a terrible life, that you don’t want to live a life that is created by other people.

Decide for yourself. Don’t wait for permission to live your life. You don’t need that from anyone. All you need right now is you. You need you to support you. Because you are your number one supporter of your dreams.

Remember, life is moving forward, not backward. Life is not going to wait for you. People are not going to wait for you. Even death is not going to wait for you to get ready.

No, that is not how it works. That is not how life works. Life says, ‘If you want to achieve greatness, you have got to do the work. You don’t have time to waste.’ No matter how tough, you can make your life possible.

If what you are doing is difficult, don’t quit, spend more time with it. Easy things are easy because they are straightforward. Difficult things are difficult because they are loaded with different parts, with different components.

To get through them, you have to understand them. If not, you are not going anywhere. That is life. That is why you should never rush through important things.

No matter how smart you are, no one can rush through growth. No one can rush through life.

So if you want to create a better life, you have to decide to face your demons or you will never grow. You will stay where you don’t want to stay for the rest of your life.

I hope not. Because you can do more. The question is, ‘Will you do more?’

Throw Away Your To-Do List. This Is What You Need Now

Life is smarter than your to-do list. Life is smarter than your to-do list because no one can predict what is going to happen next. No one can do that. Can you predict what is going to happen next?

You know where you are right now. You know what you are doing right now. But do you know what is going to happen next? Do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?

Do you know what is going to happen to your fancy to-do list, to your future?

It is okay to plan, to have a to-do list, but do not be consumed by it. Yes, do not let your to-do list take charge of your life.

If you want to live your life, your real life, this is what you need to have with you every day. You need a To-Live list. Stop postponing your life.

You are not going to be here forever. You are not going to be where you are forever. Stop delaying your life. Stop stealing from your own future.

Remember that time is not going to slow down because you are not living your life. Time is not going to wait for you because you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing. Time is not going to wait for you because you are busy doing your to-do list.

If you want to live a better life, if you want to breathe a new life into your life, you need to balance your to-do list. If you can’t balance your to-do list, then throw it away. And replace it with a To-Live list. Will you do it?
