4. Make use of your emotions

Don't be passive
Have some aggression towards the things that hold you back.

- You don't procrastinate
- You go gym
- You meditate
- You journal

6. Don't quit

Keep going and persevere
There may well be many times you fall but you keep standing back up and trying again until you have the life you want
