What Are The Top 10 Keys To Success?

So, if you had to nail down the top 10 keys to success, what would they be?

Hats off! High Fives! Chicken Dance! You Made It This Far! Now What?? Check out this suggested Top 10 List and feel free to add or edit to make it your own . . . a fresh, new, exciting day, month, week, year starting right now! Are you drowning in your Top Tips and new resolutions?  Dragging yourself by the nose hairs to work, life, routine? Lugging around an extra six pack?  

Or are you beaming with delight at the prospects? Bursting with passion and hope for a world filled with peace and prosperity? Grinning ear to ear constantly for no reason whatsoever except that I’m OK, you’re OK, and gosh darn it, people like you? 

Whatever your state, it’s a fine time for reflection and an incredible opportunity to make this year (regardless of whether it’s Oct. ). Start from wherever you are and make it one of the best - ever.  It’s so tempting and comforting to fall into old patterns. Don’t do it! Look them in the eye and say Buh Bye my Bads, Buh Bye! 

Rock On!!

Take these Top 10 to heart for a swift kick in the pants and V-8 smack in the head. 

1.  98% of our anatomy is new every year!!!  Your bones are re-created every 3 months. Ooo, that’s neat! Get to work on creating YOU. Stay healthy, exercise, eat well, think positively.
2. What WILL mean a thing in 100 years is what you leave behind. Make an impact. Share your gifts. Give back.
3. One exposure to an idea results in 2% retention after 16 days. Six exposures over 6 days results in 62% retention for 15 years to life!! Stick with it.
4. It takes only 13 muscles to smile and 112 muscles to frown. Smile and save your exertion for that six pack. 
5. Less than 3% of people write down their goals. Less than 1% read and review their goals regularly. Have you written something down? We’ll wait.
6. 88% of those surveyed said they often or sometimes come across people who are rude or disrespectful. Be nice. Let the love flow. 
7. 90% of our worries are about things that will never happen.  Well now, that frees up some time doesn’t it? 
8. Read – Read – Read – every day. Learn – Listen – Teach – Change the world.
9. Don’t blame, complain, gossip, judge. Take responsibility. Drop the Drama. OK, that’s sort of a 3 in 1. 
10. It’s all a matter of perspective. Be optimistic. Live, love, laugh – a lot!
11. (Bonus!) Every 14 minutes someone dies. Are you raising that stat as one of the living dead? Wake up!!! Live! 

In support of enticing you into ACTION, recall the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Crazy is as crazy does Forrest Gump. 1.) Act different. 2.) Think different. Remember, you average 60,000 thoughts a day - Make them count.  Embrace the New Year with an insatiable energy and enthusiasm. May this be the beginning of your amazing years to remember. Happy, healthy New Year!  Let’s get this party started. 

TIME’S a TICKIN’:  Simply:  ”Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” - St. Francis of Assisi  Again, start by doing what is necessary . . . any ideas?
