    Discover your real life purpose. Be driven to reach where that purpose can be found.

    Your life and others around you will reap the benefits of your positive outlook. Be empowered by your own thinking.
  27. Put the past, in the past.
    Our life was not meant to be lived rehashing bad memories over and over. It’s time to let go. It’s time to move on. Today is a new day. Today has power.
  28. Forgive others if you can.

  29. Find out what you are passionate about.
    Explore and embrace your passion. Be alive.

    There aren’t rules for picking up the phone. You just may give a real boost to the person you call.

    Here’s your first one:
    Your time is limited; don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
    Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
    – Steve Jobs
  35. Give your goals an overview.

  37. Procrastination kills.
    Permanently remove it from your life. Stick firmly to preset timeframes.

    Look around at the 7 things you really use. Do you really need the rest? Feel the peace of removing clutter.
  40. Be willing to try new things.Today Has Power with Boggle Today
    Status quo isn’t much fun. Be different.

    That’s right. Go somewhere. For now, make it a weekend. Make it a night. Even an hour is good. Be free, smile.
  42. Be the best.
    The reason there is so much room at the top is because few folks are willing to go all out. How about you?Today Has Power with Boggle Has
  43. Use the 80/20 rule.

  46. Follow people who inspire you.
    Read the biographies of those you want to emulate. There is strength in numbers.

  50. Be slow to judge others.
    You may not know what they know.

    Make your part of the world a little better by giving. Be a mentor or coach. Volunteer. You will see how much you receive, by giving.

    If your boat is capsized, it’s okay if you don’t think about the milk you left on the counter at home. Focus on what’s really important right now.
  56. Live right now.
    Don’t concern yourself with a maybe. Focus on what you can do now.

      Hey Dia,
      If we shoot for the moon, but only hit the shed out back…we still hit something. Thanks for stopping by. Always good to have your input.

      Live it LOUD!

  3. Hey Rob – Nice list!

    Personally, I like the 80/20 Rule. I think I have now made it a habit to at least think of the rule before I get to work on anything. In fact, I wrote an article about this on my blog and how to can be applied to individual lives and businesses.

    Thanks for sharing these positive affirmations! Positive Affirmations are definitely one of the best ways to condition ourselves to live in a life of abundance rather than a life of scarcity!

  4. Mika Castro says:

    The list are really great and useful sources for me. I like #69. Be willing to acquire new skills. Add value. — This is very important to us. Learn to value things and their importance.

  5. Julie Hayes says:

    Its hard to perform everything on your list in one day but its worth the try. By the way thanks for a very helpful list.

  6. Zar Goertzel says:

    You’ve got a moving and powerfully written blog, my new friend. Thanks for writing it.

    “Be driven to reach where that purpose can be found.”

    And this combined with your fog story finally drove something into me (that I already pretty much knew, but hey).

    THANK YOU SIR 😀
