    To get success on our life we must need to follow some guidelines. Your personal success guideline are look very important on our life and I hope it'll help us more to get in touch on our life goal.

  • Ron! I agree with yours. Some more minor personal add-ons:
    ~ Being the best (or striving to be the best) in whatever I do
    ~ Make others laugh / Make others feel worthy
    ~ Make this world a better place to live by
    ~ Forgive even my enemies/betrayers without bitterness in heart
    ~ Live life assertively (without aggressiveness) with self esteem and dignity

    1) Show the Grace I teach
    2) Growth in my "trouble" areas
    3) Thinking more….BEFORE speaking when angry.
    4) Allowing God more room to work in my introversion
    5) Allowing my vision to expand
    6) Look for the " awe" moments God has already made
    7) Help others to see those " awe" moments, don't lock them inside!
