I think the reason many do not ever succeed in life is the fact that they never examine their life in any way. They never stop to think about where they are headed, the consequences of the choices they make in life, the beliefs they hold, or anything about their life. I know this has been a pattern for me, at times. No more.
I will examine my life. I will weigh and consider my choices. I will study and understand my beliefs. I will live a conscious life from this point onward.
