Even if your whole world is falling apart, keep smiling. You’ll feel better.

Commitment
It’s a simple switch in your brain. Don’t be so afraid to flick it. Say, “yes I’ll commit” and then go whole hog on it to the end!
Will You Pay The Price?
Everything has a price. It’s usually in money terms, or in time, emotion, mental, physical or spiritual means. Sometimes it is several of these at the same time.
Regardless, if there is something you want, it probably lies on the other side of that price that you’ll need to pay.
Be careful you don’t pay too big of a price to achieve your goal. Though equally, do not think you can pay too little and still reach your dream.
Assess your goal and then consider what sacrifices and price you’ll end up paying. Consider this well. Then, if acceptable, start paying the price and making the sacrifices so that you can reach your ultimate goal.
Celebrate
Put a marker down that is memorable. Do something unique to you to celebrate a milestone or victory.
It is important to mark occasions and make that day distinct from others so your special moments don’t run together with your regular days.
Uncertainty
Uncertainty can be very destabilising. When you are feeling uncertain, get to the gym or do some exercise at least. Change your state. Change your environment too. Do this especially if you can get somewhere that makes you feel more positive or confident.
Start recognising what you can be certain about. There may be more things than you think. It could be that you have great health or your parents love you very much.
Whatever you can lock onto to anchor your thoughts will be great. You’ll start to relax.
Persist
There will always be glitches and speed bumps. It doesn’t matter.
Persist.
Things Take Time
Pregnancy takes nine months. Babies take 18 years to grow and become adults. Even the Olympics takes 6 years to build, prepare or train for.
Assume everything might take longer than expected. Use this assumption to even go to your meeting today.
Things take time. Not forever but maybe a little longer than you anticipated.
Plan accordingly.
Show Up To Win
When you commit to something, see it through. Whether you are changing a habit, setting your alarm for the morning or agreeing to meet someone, once you commit – follow through.
No excuses, reasons or unexpected happenings will be accepted. If you can’t commit to these basics, you might never get out of first great.
If you can’t trust you, who will?
Start getting that corrected today.
Get Around The Best People For Your Future
Spend more time with people who are trying to improve. Get yourself around people who are doing well in at least one area.
Reduce the time you spend with people who are not where you want to be or aren’t helping you get there.
Be selective.
It’s tough. But required.
Enjoy
Take time to enjoy, not just get through.
