Learn from your mistakes.

Once is enough to learn.

Don’t dwell on your failures.

79. Let go of bitterness.

Bitterness will ruin your life.

It is contagious.

It won’t solve the problem.

It will hold you hostage.

80. Lighten up.

No one else cares.

Give each of these areas of your life serious thought. Develop meaningful goals for every part of your life. Write them down or they are just wishful thinking. Put them where you can read them every morning and every night. Review and revise as life changes.  Develop action steps that move you forward. At the end of every day, ask yourself this question and answer it honestly. What have I done today that moves me toward my goal?  Setting meaningful, relevant goals is a vital aspect of self-leadership. You are not depending on a supervisor or someone else to impose them. You are in charge of you. Setting your own goals gives you a major boost on your journey.

            Remember who you are. Stay true to your values. Don’t sacrifice your core to the passing temptations or persuasions of the moment. Character is built and strengthened decision by decision and moment by moment. Who you are takes a lifetime to build and only a few seconds to destroy. Finishing well is far more important than starting well. Life is a marathon not a sprint. When you know who you are, you are prepared for those split second decisions that can make or break your life. Never give over control of your life to someone else. Never abandon who you are for the expediency of the moment.

            The sun will come up tomorrow. The flowers will bloom and the birds will sing. The direction of all life is growth. The South Carolina state motto translates, “While I breathe, I hope.” Every new life is a sign that there is a tomorrow. Each new minute is an opportunity to begin again. Remember it is already tomorrow some where in the world.
