‘By thinking in terms of the activities that you really want to be doing, you can identify the small steps you need to take to realize ME+.’

‘You will progress faster if you meet people outside your normal circles.’

‘It is essential to make your progress salient by auditing the activities you are doing and the milestones you are reaching’

‘To begin creating your own carrots and sticks, ask yourself this one question: ‘How can I lower the immediate costs and increase the immediate benefits of the small steps I need to take?’

‘It is okay to quit if there is an intention to do something much more worthwhile.’

‘It is important that you judge your progress by the quality of your decision-making, as opposed to the quality of your outcomes.’

‘One of the easiest ways to grow quickly is to get feedback from people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences.’

‘We don’t ask for help often enough, even when we really need it.’

‘It is your responsibility to seek feedback regularly and with a specific agenda.’

‘Thinking big and designing a plan to get there is something that you get to do rather than have to do.’

‘You will draw less on your own resilience reserves if you focus on your absolute progress, and avoid comparisons with others.’

The Best Thing You Can Do For Yourself

‘The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is- not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think for himself.’- George MacDonald

Do your own thinking. If you are not growing, it is because you are not doing your own thinking.

If you have not started doing your own thinking, if you have not started facing your own life, if you are still waiting for others to tell you what to do, how to live your life, what to do with your income, or where to take your next vacation, you are not thinking for yourself; other people are doing your thinking for you; you are not living for yourself; you are living for others.

If you are not where you want to be, maybe you are not thinking enough. Maybe you are hiding your greatness.

To get your promotion, you must do your own thinking. That is what great leaders do. They do their own thinking. They don’t wait for people to tell them how to think.

Thinking is the best thing to do for yourself. It is the gateway to your inner self. If you want to bring out the best in yourself, if you want to wake yourself up, you must do your own thinking.

Do not be scared to think. If you do not know what to think about, just think about when you were a little child. Maybe that will take you back to when you were not afraid to try different things.

Do it for you. Do not be scared of what is going to come out. Whatever comes out, you have what it takes to deal with it.

Deal with it. If you don’t deal with your secrets, they are going to deal with you. When they do, you are not going to be happy with yourself.

If you don’t think for yourself, if you do not do what you are supposed to do to get to where you want to be, life will not let you go unpunished.

If you don’t want life to deal with you, you must do your own thinking. When you do, you get bigger. And your world gets bigger.
