Have a plan.
Take action.
Meet resistance.
Adjust.
Repeat.
Do this until you are successful.
Success is not a straight line.

Take Action
Take action while you have the chance.
Life does not wait until you are ready.
The timing will never be perfect.
Ready enough may be as ready as you will ever be.
The worst that can happen is that you fail.
But you can also fail by doing nothing.
It is better to risk failure by taking action than to guarantee failure by doing nothing.

The Wisdom Of Victimhood
Pay attention to the people who are happy when you are happy.
There are a lot of different versions of this saying.
What they all have in common is the idea that you should be mindful of who is and is not supportive of your success.
But this type of thinking only leads to bitterness, resentment, and self pity.
It is an attitude of victimhood disguised as wisdom that will not lead to greater success, happiness, or contentment.
You have no way of knowing what someone is thinking, why they do what they do, or what they are going through, which may have nothing to do with you.
Live your life as you see fit, seek happiness and success for their own sake, and find a peace in yourself that is unaffected by the ever-changing world around you.

Risk You Can Live With
There is no way to do great work without taking risks.
But risks are, well, risky.
Things may not work out.
Failure is always an option.
In spite of this, the goal is not to avoid risks, but to take risks that you can live with.
Take risks you can recover from, that you can learn from, and that have an upside, even in loss.
In this way, the risks you take become the path of the great work you seek to do.

Motivated By Loss
Losses can either defeat you or motivate you.
The choice is yours to make.
You cannot change the past, but you can choose what you do next.
There are no easy paths to success.
Every meaningful course of action is difficult.
Loss is the price you pay on the way to your goals.
Let your losses be the fuel that propels you forward, lest they be the burden that drags you down.
