1. Perform CPR on your dreams.  Take your dreams off the back burner. Don't let them become your ghosts.
2. Your "words" create your reality.  Your words are powerful.  Choose your words carefully.  Your current words summon and create your future.
3. "Own your dreams and claim them."   Remember you have"Unclaimed grace from Genesis."  Your life is not an accident.  You are here for a purpose.
4. No matter what your age is, you can still achieve your dreams.
5. Have faith in yourself.  Make the promises you make to yourself just as sacred as those you make to others. 
6. Have a plan to live on purpose.  Look within to determine your purpose.  Then put your plan into action.   Consider the TALLeYUP System, if you don't have a system.  It worked for me.
7. Stop procrastinating!  You might want to consider using the Procrastinator's Prayer and other motivating poetry in Miner Miracles to help. 
8. Acknowledge yourself daily in the mirror.
9. Believe in yourself.  "Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing."
10. Life is what you make out of it.  You have the power.  Everything already exists in the thought realm.  You must have knowledge, faith, and action to reveal it.
