Wear The Leash, Hold The Leash

1. Know Your Purpose

If you don’t, someone else could give you false purpose and manipulate you… to take over the world in their name.

1. Use Your Gifts with Dicipline

If you can write well, write everyday and you’ll grow as a writer.  If you *ahem* well, I guess doing so everyday will make you a better *ahem-er* too.

1. Reflect & Move Forward

Stop and take a look at your life.  It is what it is.  Look at your best options and make a choice.

1. Serve Others

I’m not talking about being waitress here, shut up.  Look at the people around you eg your family / subordinates / etc, are they better off because of you?  

1. Pull Up The Stakes

A fancy schmancy way of saying never give up.  There’s no such thing as failure, only things that get in the way of your success.  

1. Listen Damnit

How does YOUR mind translate what you hear, into what you want to hear.  Read into what is said, what is not said, what they want to say but don’t know how to.

1. Take Calculated Risks

It’s better to risk, than to live never succeeding and never failing.  It’s better to try being gay, than.. err… never mind.

1. Stop Tolerating

Don’t put up with not having the quality of life you deserve.  I AM going to get that HELICOPTER.  It will be blue.  Like my shotgun.

1. Be 100% Honest

With yourself first!  Then with others.  It may be difficult to be honest, without being aggressive.   *FWOAH difficult, sial*
  

1. Make the Present Perfect

Live in the now – the choices you make that affect your life are happening NOW.  Not in the past.  Not in the future, which you try to predict based on the past.
