Whatever position you find yourself in, almost always you can find someone or someway that could be worse.

Focus On What You’d Love
Focus on what you would love, not what you would not want in your life. Whatever you are thinking about, that’s what you’re gonna get more of. So if you think of things that you don’t want, you’ll get more of them and if you think of things that you do want, you’ll get more of those.
Your mindset is incredibly powerful, so learn to use it very well. Become a specialist in how to use your mind.
Win!
It feels great to win!
Plan to win. Visualise it. See the effort, the winning and the after winning. Feel the exuberance. Live the experience. Enjoy it fully.
No Ego
If you could work incredibly hard for 10 years, and sacrifice significantly, to create lasting world peace and prosperity for everyone, but you would get no credit for any of it, and die in obscurity, would you do it?
Can you do a good deed without telling anyone at some point what you did?
Can you succeed at something yet not signal your achievement, or seek recognition?
Ego can drive us forward, to achieve great things, but it can also hinder many people. Healthy sharing of your success is one thing, though demanding attention for it is another. It’s often a fine line, and if you remove your bias, sometimes you’ll be able to see it.
Great Results Deserve Praise
Learn to be gracious. Give praise wherever it’s due. Don’t hold back for some random bias.
Great results deserve praise, so give it.
It’s not a good look if you don’t.
Be Positive
It’s all you’ve got. You can choose your mindset at any time and in any circumstance.
So choose something helpful.
Be positive.
Find Time To Laugh
Laughter is the best medicine.
Go to a comedy club. Watch a comedy special. Buy a comedy album, cassette, CD, DVD or streaming special.
Just get more laughter into your life.
Stay In Touch
Keep friends in your life. Stay in touch. Sometimes this can be a few times a year and for others it may be more frequently. Either way, a quick text here and a brief call there all add up to a stronger relationship as the years go by.
Decide To Be In Awe
Decide to be in awe of the world around us. As I look around the room, I am grateful for all of the people who conceived of all the products I can see.
In addition, I am grateful for all of the people, I will never know or meet, who financed these products through R&D and manufacture. And finally, I’m grateful to all of the people who worked in the companies, the supply chains, and the delivery units, that enabled these products to surround me in this room.
Sure, I went out and bought these items, so the effort doesn’t seem that incredible. However, the whole idea of each one of these products began years before I decided it was a product I needed and was willing to spend my hard earned money on.
Just think about all the sourcing of the raw materials that went into a plug, a lamp, a painting, a wood carving, a table, a ceiling fan, bedsheets, and a pen.
When you stop and think about all of this, it is really hard not to be in awe of the world we live in.
Accept Great Things In Your Life
Believe that great things are in your life. Appreciate those great things. Be willing to accept lots of great things in your life, today, tomorrow and forever.
By pressing for excellence in your thoughts, you may reach excellence in your day to day.
Believe and you’ll likely achieve.
