ADVICE FROM...

I got approach about doing a speech to a group of young adults, for a Indigenous Business event later this year.

I pondered long and hard about the program topics and decided I would focus my presentation on a list of life lessons / rules, "so to speak", to help guide one's adventure through life.

Lessons I've personally learnt throughout my life that I can now humbly share, with hopes that it may provide guidance in the next 20 + years that would fulfill the gap between their and my current realities.

At this point I will lay out my talking points, won't add the details of each point. 
Intent would be to add a brief story / explanation to each.

1. Commit to others... Care for others.... 
2. Be Self Discipline.  
3. Fall in love & fall in love often, with as many things as possible. I love everyone in my life, my work life and my personal life. Don't be scared of the word love and especially don't be scared to show love.                                                                                                                             Fall in love with that special someone and have them by your side; Share your time, your love, your memories. We are great as individuals and we need to ensure we find ourselves and become balanced; However we are so much more with that special someone at our side.           
4. You need to be aggressive in life and business, but only when listening....                            Focus & learn to truly listen....
5. Do not procrastinate... Always have more in your Outbox than your Inbox. "Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today".
6. Commit to the Soul. Give yourself to an higher belief; There is something grander than you...
1. Believe, understand and practice in the "Law of Attraction"...
7. Stop trying to live your life, stop immediately.... Design & then Build your life.. 
8. You can't give away your Past... But you can give away your Future..
9. All "Successful" people work hard; Now let's define "Success". 
1. Best quote I've heard to define is, "The progressive realization towards a worthy ideal".   I heard this from an Earl Nightingale's presentation. However, you to define your own success.
10. You can't do it alone, surround yourself with great people. 
1. People more intelligent, more talented, humble and especially kinder than you.
11. Make Decisions / Choices!! You have the opportunity to make the "right choice" based on the information you have at that point, remember you can always make another "right choice", if / when the information / situation changes.
12. Meet as many people as you can in this life, enjoy the company of others. 
1. Focus on building rapport and cherish those relationship, this is the master key to many locked doors.

   ***** All require you to be committed, adaptive, resilient and focused (Present).
