Life Power Tip
It is all in the questions that you ask. Should a thought enter your mind about something that you do not want or a concern crops up about a situation you’d rather not see happen in your life then be very sure to ask yourself this question, “Well, if I do not want that, then what DO I want?” Be sure to answer that question immediately, with absolute certainty. The answering of that question is the most important part of the exercise! You want clarity.

Action
Rise early and find a great vantage point, to watch the sunrise.

Challenge
Listen to an inspiring audio.
