When listening to advice, your job is to sift through it as though your mining for gold. Find what applies to YOUR life and YOUR goals.

Just knowing that life is not always fair will prepare you for the harsh realities of the world and keep you strong.

Look for places in your life where you think you may not be providing much value but if you look from another perspective, you're delivering tons.

When you commit yourself to a goal that may seem huge, you'll find out that little by little, you can achieve it.

Learning to say "no" to people and activities that don't support your goals is one of the most valuable skills you can develop.

Crying is often times associated with sadness but the crying I'm talking about here is the crying associated with 'tears of joy'.

When you turn off your external world such as television, the internet, notifications, cells phones and all outside "noise", you'll be surprised at the conversation you actually have with yourself.

Measuring your goals not only documents how far you've come along, it will also help you build momentum as you're reaching your goals.

Comparing yourself or anything in your life to others can be a dangerous deal. Stay focused on who YOU are and what YOUR unique capabilities and offerings are.
