Choosing wisely

Credit is a 6 letter word often denoting debt. I want to use it as acronym for 6 best concepts that we must use to fortify our lives. Let me credit your human reservoir and success bank with some empowering words.

Confidence: Never believe the notion that you must be apologetic about your views and stances in life. Say it with bravado and staccato, say it with gusto and oomph!

Resilience: When things go south, keep your head above the water. Never give up even in the darkest hour. Develop a thick skin.

Excellence: Never drop the balls. You owe it to yourself to bring your A game every time you show up. Opportunity has a way of gravitating towards the most prepared, be ready for it. As Life is presents you it’s best, be at your best.

Diligence: Your work ethic is your best indicator for success. Never be mediocre. Do your best without expecting anything back.

Intelligence: It is not necessarily the things you remember that mark your IQ, it is the things you intentionally pay attention to. Pay attention to the things that matter.

Temperance: Self control is that ability to say no to the things that demand your immediate attention in favour of things that deserve your immediate attention.
