Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours.

Act accordingly

Why have you attained success? Because you’ve been willing to take responsibility for the consequences of your actions.

How do you create more success, more positive value? By continuing to exercise responsibility.

Each action generates a result of some kind. For every result you desire, there is a specific set of actions that will bring about that result.

The same is true of results you do not desire. For every unwanted result, you must avoid certain actions.

Over time you’ve learned which behaviors push your life forward and which ones set you back. You’ve learned not only from your own experience, but also from the experience of many others.

Right now you have another opportunity to put all that accumulated knowledge to good use. Remind yourself of what you want, of what you don’t, and use every moment, every situation, to act accordingly.

— Ralph Marston
