Look to simple solutions, especially to complex problems. Small, simple steps, building on one another, will eventually drive the best result.

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.
Exhaust All Possibilities
Trying is useless. Unless you’re willing to exhaust all possibilities.
When I hear someone say they’ll try, I usually don’t hold out much hope. I will though, if they are the type of person who will exhaust all possibilities before they conclude that they have tried and failed.
Too many people think trying is thinking about getting something done, if they have any spare time. They make a half-hearted effort with no consequences for failure. Don’t live like that.
Exhaust all possibilities. There is no try.
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.
Write Down Your Vision
Dream big and write it down. Hold yourself accountable. You can only track that which is written down. Do not leave your plan loose in your mind.
Write down your vision in detail. Review it daily. Update it when you need to.
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.
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.
