avoid making mistakes and come from making a

1. Train yourself to finish what you start. So many
of us become scattered as we try to accomplish
a task. Finish one task before you begin another.
2. Live fully in the present moment. When you live in the
past or the future you aren’t able to make things
happen in the present.
3. Commit yourself to joy. C.S. Lewis ‘Joy is the serious
business of heaven’.
4. Never quit when you experience a setback or
frustration. Success could be just around the corner.
5. Dare to dream big dreams. If there is anything to the
law of expectation then we are moving in the direction
of our dreams, goals and expectations.
