Some forethought and planning can do wonders for your schedule and sanity. Try to work ahead a little when you can. Try to predict what you will need to do next. This will give you a safety net in case unexpected things come up, or it could free up some of your time so you can rest and relax. In any case, it will make things easier and less stressful. You’ll also be a bit more actively aware of how you are choosing to spend your time.

Success is a lifestyle. If you want to be successful you need to operate at your optimal level. You need to consistently be taking care of your mind, body, and soul. You need to address your fitness, your nutrition, how much quality sleep you're getting, your mental state, your stress levels, what you're occupying your mind and time with. Success has to be maintained. You have to push and in order to push, you need to build a lifestyle that gives you an edge. What are you doing to give yourself that edge? Are you giving yourself the best chance possible by leading a lifestyle that empowers you to be your best?

Support your own success. What do you need to do to make your dreams a reality? What steps do you need to take? How can you be ready for an opportunity? Think of everything that you would need to do to harness opportunity. Start working on those things. You will want to make the most optimum use of any opportunity that comes along. How can you do that if you're not ready? Don't sell yourself short. Do what you can TODAY for a better tomorrow. Your efforts will pay off. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams.

It is OK to take a break. Sometimes we want something so much that we diligently give effort towards it day after day after day. When you feel tired, remember to not guilt yourself over taking a break. It is OK. You can pick up where you left off tomorrow. Ask for help if you can. Exercise some self-care. Look after your own needs. Love yourself. Be kind and generous towards yourself. Remind yourself as to why you are important. Refresh and recharge your spirit.

Unhappiness is not an excuse for rude, obnoxious, reckless and destructive behavior. We have a responsibility to one another. We have a responsibility to add good, not bad, to the world. Everyone suffers. Don't be the cause of someone else's suffering. Where is the empathy? Start acting with love. Be compassionate, be kind, be all those things you wish others to be. Be an example. Confront your unhappiness. Find and use the help you require. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Reach out.

Don't get so caught up in everything that you think you're supposed to do that you forget to enjoy the journey. Take time to live the life that you are working do hard for. Take time for you. Take time every day. Tomorrow is not promised. Seize the day!
