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.

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.
Are You Tracking?
To achieve your goals, you should have a plan that is written down. And if you have a plan, you should have specific milestones. Those milestones need to be checked on frequently. Sometimes this means daily and sometimes it might mean weekly.
One way to greatly increase your rate of success is to have timed, specific, milestones that you move closer to every day. Not only that, you need to be tracking them, frequently.
Track your success daily. This will help you keep your focus on your important goals.
Plan Your Day
Ideally your day is planned a day ahead or more. As your life gets busier with important meetings, ceremonies or events, you may even start booking yourself a year or two in advance.
You may be part of a year-long concert tour starting eight months from now, or you might have tickets to the Olympics in 16 months. Regardless, you should be booking in the key events you want in your life.
You also benefit from blocking time with key tasks for tomorrow. What time will you wake up? Get out of bed? Eat breakfast? Get in your shower, get dressed, get to your work desk and start working
Note the priorities of the day and how much time each task will take. Make it a competition to see if you can complete a task in the time you allocated.
Once your day ahead is planned, you need to keep the plan close by and execute on your plan. Try not to let meetings over-run or too many distractions creep in. Remember, this plan is to achieve your priorities, not get distracted responding to other people’s priorities.
Stay focused. Move swiftly. Speak only when necessary. Keep interactions short but effective.
Begin Again
An amazing thing happens every night. Your brain is cleared, your body rested and you get to begin again on making your life an incredible story.
Yesterday’s challenges are bygones. You start afresh. Let go of the past and launch strongly into the day.
Every day you can begin again. Whether you are further ahead or further behind, you have the choice to begin again.
Be The Best
The greatest thing you can do in life is be the best you can be every day. It is hard for anyone to ask for more.
If you aim to push yourself to new limits everyday, you will continue to evolve and improve. That is really all that anyone could ask for.
Keep Pressing Forward
Don’t give up or make assumptions. Sometimes we need to simply try again. And again.
If you apply for a job and don’t hear back, follow up! Be proactive and call them. Better yet, call them right after the application and make sure they received it, and if they have any immediate questions.
People are busy and have distractions. You need to cut through that. Get on their agenda. Keep pressing forward. Eventually you will win. ????
Get It Done!
Yes, sometimes you really just don’t feel like it. You could be very comfortable. Or perhaps you are ‘exhausted’.
Well, this is when you prove to yourself that you have got what it takes to succeed.
Do some push ups or jumping jacks, get out of bed, stand up, breathe deeply or simply carry on. You’ll need to push through to get it done!
Engage In Opportunities
If you’re paying attention, some opportunities fall into your lap. They arrive pre-packaged on your door step.
Be wise and curious enough to explore them!
Make Templates
Get things set up so you can mass produce. Then get going on the mass production.
