Accept no second best for yourself or your family. As a wonderful creation of God, you do not accept any place other than top of the line, top of the shelf, blue ribbon, and the winners circle. Make up your mind what you are going to do and do it. Procrastination is a killer of success seeds. Be so by applying sound principles of success for your life every day.
Every day is a class room experience.
To let a day pass without growth means you have let some weeds grow. Do nothing until you have a sound plan for your goals and then implement it. Do not circumvent any of the steps. Stand on what you believe. Be prepared to defend what you believe as long as it is morally right for all concerned.
