11. Do Not Lie.
Lying causes so much more problems than just telling the truth. Telling the truth may be uncomfortable sometimes, but it makes you a much stronger person in the long run.

12. Do Not Deny Anyone Their Belief.
Even if you do not believe it that doesn’t mean that that belief isn’t real for them. Accept that everyone has different beliefs.

14. Do Not Believe That Anything Is “Impossible”.
The “impossible” is being done every day. It was impossible to land on the moon, impossible to climb Mt. Everest, impossible to run a 4-minute-mile, impossible to fly, and yet here we are, doing it all.

15. Do Not Have a Plan B.
If you have a plan B, then you will not try your very hardest for Plan A. People who succeed despite all odds believe that it is “do or die” every time.

16. Do Not Stay In One Place.

17. Do Not Eat The Same Foods.
Make it a habit to eat something new every time you go out to eat. Sure, there will be some flukes, but you will also discover your favorite foods that way.

18. Do Not Limit Your Work.

19. Do Not Compare Yourself To Anyone But Your Past Self.
There will always be someone better and worse than you. Stop comparing yourself to those people and instead compare yourself to who you were a year ago only.

20. Do Not Settle For Less.
You only settle if you think you cannot achieve it, and that is the same as giving up. If you do not settle you will, eventually, get it.

21. Do Not Give Up On Things You Want. Ever.
The only way to truly fail is to give up. If you never give up failure becomes a stepping stone not the end result.

22. Do Not Limit Your Dreams.
You want it, then ask for it and go and get it. It’s impossible you say? GREAT! Be the first one to do it! Anything is possible. Dream as big as you can, never give up on those dreams and never settle. Find a way where there is no way!
