READ! I know that sounds ridiculously easy but reading stimulates brain matter to grow. It's like reps for mind and the pages are the sets. The more you read the more you visualize and the more you visualize the stronger your belief systems become. After all belief is nothing more than the visualization of what has not materialized. I challenge you to buy a thick book and commit to finishing it even it takes a hundred years.

Ask your self questions everyday about your behavior and your reactions to your behavior. When you do this it makes you stop and think about the value that you are creating or destroying in your life.

Slow down! A wise man once told me in a book I read, "in order to speed up you must slow down".

Make a decision and then stick with it. Just as incomplete thoughts, sentences and actions cause panic or frustration so do incomplete decisions. Some of the greatest leaders in the world knew that following through always created a bigger impact than stopping mid way. Ask Bruce Lee about his one inch punch and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Last but most importantly, learn from every result you produce in life, good or bad and then use those as links to solve new problems. They say that intelligence is about referencing things or events and then coming to a conclusion right or wrong for a particular incident. Knowledge however is useless without intellect.
