1. You make a quality decision to take responsibility for your life.

2. You have to practice self-discipline behind the scenes.
What you do privately is more important than what people see publicly.
3. You give honour where honour is due. Honour where you are on the way to where you're going.
What you're doing right now and how you're doing it, is the most important thing about what God will give you next. When you honour what God is doing now, you'll be prepared for what's next.
Above all else, honour God.
Somebody in need is waiting on the other side of your obedience.

Dandapani's Top 10 Rules For Success:
1. Want it badly enough.
If you want something new, you have to give up something old.
2. Have clear goals.
Happiness is not a goal, it's a byproduct of something.
3. Uplift others.
You uplift yourself by uplifting somebody else.
4. Control your awareness.
I think understanding the mind is one of the most important things anybody can do.
That's one thing that we don't have a manual for.
The simplest way to understand the mind, is to understand the difference between awareness and the mind.
You are controlling awareness and where awareness goes in the mind.
Now you can keep awareness on one thing at a time and remain concentrated.
The best way to do this is to integrate the practice into your everyday life.
5. Surround yourself with success.
I want to develop a business that's successful.
I thought if I surrounded myself with these people, I could just learn from them.
I believe in the power of a community.
6. Get clarity.
When you realize that life is finite, you become clear of, all of a sudden, who and what is important in your life.
7. Push hard to get things done.
I think life is a sine wave, and sometimes you have to push really hard.
8. Be focused.
I learned coding in the monastery.
We took those concentration skills into everything we did.
9. Walk away from energy vampires.
If you're working so hard on yourself, to improve yourself, to be a better person, then why allow someone else to come and drain you away?
An entrepreneur who builds his business from nothing would never allow somebody to come and destroy his business.
10. Meditate.
When you get in the car and put on your seat belt, start the engine to drive somewhere, you have a destination.
So the same way when you sit down to meditate, there should be a destination, there should be some thing that you are reaching for. What is that goal, what is that purpose, its totally up to you.
Every meditation should have a goal and a purpose.
You figure out the goal that you want to get to. You figure out a systematic step and process towards getting there, and you do that everyday.
Bonus: Learn how to deal with stress.
The reason you are stressed is because you don't keep your awareness on one thing at a time.
Every time your awareness goes into the future or into the past in an uncontrolled way, bring it back to the present again.
Be mindful of this throughout the entire day.
Don't let your awareness go into the past or into the future in an uncontrolled way.

1. Step out of self-talk.
2. Go to the place where creativity arises.
3. Evolve through challenges.
4. Don't derive your identity from thinking.
Some people are afraid of not succeeding in whatever they do because their self-image which is derived from thinking would suffer.
I have learned something here, this is not for me, for example.
5. Use obstacles as opportunities.
They can become the greatest opportunity for spiritual awakening.
Use it as part of your practice.
6. Access your inner power.
There is a source of power in you that transcends the person.
You can have it right now at this very moment if you not stuck in your thinking mind.
Take your attention a little bit beyond the thinking mind, and then realize that you are the presence behind the thinking mind, without which there could be no thinking.
That aware presence is where power resides.
It connects you with universal power.
7. Interact fully.
You can actually begin to like and to enjoy the tiniest things around you, that would normally be completely overlooked. So the way in which you interact with the world of objects, that brings a richness into your life, that doesn't depend on how many objects you own. You don't need to own them to interact with them. You acknowledge their beingness.
Even so-called inanimate objects in a strange way have a life of their own.
8. Practice inner transformation.
9. Realize the formless in yourself.
The true sense of worthiness and of power (true power) comes when you realize the formless in yourself.
Then you are rooted in the formless so to speak or you are it.
There's enormous sense of worthiness in there.
Its not comparative.
10. Go beyond karma.
Karma is the complete absence of conscious presence.
Dandapani's Top 10 Rules For Success Volume 2:
1. Get to know yourself.
To know yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
How would you know what you want in life, if you don't even spend time to get to know yourself?
And once you know what you want in life, you take the powers of concentration, and that finite amount of energy, and you focus it into what you want, and that will start to manifest in life, and the byproduct of that is happiness.
2. Develop your willpower.
Finish what you start.
If you can integrate this practice into everything that you do in your life, you become better at it and you develop better will.
3. Shape your mind.
Subconscious is very mouldable.
Affirmations
Visualization
Feeling
4. Live a joyful life.
We are here on this planet for a finite amount of time, make it a good one.
5. Concentrate.
I define concentration as the ability to keep that awareness on one thing for a prolonged period of time.
The best way to practice it is to integrate it into everything that you do in your life.
You really need to look at your life the same way a sprinter in the olympics looks at his life.
The best way to do it is to pick a few opportunities in your life.
And out of prolonged concentration comes the wonderful power of observation. You become more observant and when you become more observant, you see solutions quicker and you solve things quicker.
6. Manage the energy in your life.
Leaning how to manage your energy is really really important in life.
One of the most important ways to do it is, "Who are people that are uplifting in your life and who are the people that drain you?".
7. Be aware of your mortality.
Once you realize your time on earth is finite, you start to become more focused.
8. Live a balanced life.
When I am able to proportionately direct my energy, I know my life is in balance, but if my energy is not proportionately directed to the things and people that matter in my life, then, my life is out of balance.
9. Control your awareness.
Most people allow technology to control where their awareness goes in their mind.
As soon as we control where awareness goes, we're controlling where energy is flowing. As soon as we control where energy is flowing, we control what is manifesting in our life.
10. Start with just one thing.
A temple made of bricks is built one brick at a time.

Put your oxygen mask on first, before you attend to anyone else around you. When you get up, and you invest in yourself first, then you're prepared to invest in other people around you.
He claims that the majority of his success, is due to his morning routine.
-Tony Robbins
20 mins everyday = 10 hrs in a month
POOR - Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly
Every morning is an opportunity to get up and invest in you.
And I'm telling you, one month from now, you won't be the same person.
It doesn't matter what profession a person pursues, a morning routine is key to success.
To change your future, change your routine.
