Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. Albert Einstein.

Whatever you’re working at, as you put January behind you, wherever you are on your journey, once in awhile it’s good to remind yourself that ultimately your success rests solely with you.

The items on this list aren’t new or original but they’ll play a big role in your success:

1. Never stop thinking and learning..
2. Never lose your courage nor your faith in yourself.
3. Always make time for those you love and who love and nurture you.
4. Be thankful for all you have.
5. Be honest and be real.
6. Do the right things rather than doing things right.
7. Choose to be positive. Ignore the naysayers and the doubters.
8. Keep fit mentally, physically and spiritually.
9. Keep the daily events in perspective.
10. Strive to be the best version of yourself that you can be.

The only edge you have that really separates you from your competition is you.
