Great post! I agree with your top four: Creating what you want and being responsible to do so, this goes hand in hand with resiliency. Staying or getting back on track inspite of setbacks. To be successful one must be commited but more importantly be willing to recommit hourly, daily, weekly as necessary. I love the listen 80% talk 20% rule! I am a proponent of he 80/20 rule and need to apply it this way as you suggest. Ing is the way to go as well as we recognize the fun is the doing not in as much in the done.
Thanks!

It’s not a matter of IF it will happen, it’s a matter of WHEN, very nice perspective to remember. Sometimes, when we encounter setbacks in our life, we immediately think something is not meant to be, whereas we could think the opposite. We could tell ourselves that the right timing has not yet come, but it will come. We need only to pursue it so we can reap the seeds we have sown.

I especially like the fourth characteristic – Continuous Learning. Even if you graduated from college already, or have earned your PhD, you should still consider yourself a student of life and keep your mind open to new learnings and ideas. This is an important part of being successful.

I love your article. It’s a great read! I believe it can help me in my quest to Live More. Thanks for sharing it.
