There may be less time left than you think. Humans aren’t great at long term thinking, so it’s good to reflect on what you value in life and to try to spend more time doing the things you love and being with the people you love.

Learning to substitute a desired habit for an unwanted one is a great way to regain time in your life, to move your goals forward and to build belief in your ability to effect change through choice.

Pay attention to choice. Without it, there simply cannot be any change in your life, or in how you respond to life when change is thrust upon you.

You’ve heard it a thousand times. It’s sounds trite. But the truth is that the only way you can change your life is by making choices and taking action and the one-and-only place you can do that is today.

Beginners mind or “don't know” mind is a one of the most powerful tools you can bring to bear in your journey through change. Recall that when you were a child you knew so little that you had no idea what wasn’t possible, and hence your world was full of possibility.
