Appreciation

Before you go out into the world seeking more, you need to cultivate an appreciation for what you already have.  It's very difficult to go from saying 'No, no, no' to the world around you to saying 'Yes' to that which you want.   If you instead focus on saying 'Yes' to the things in your life that you currently appreciate, then you will automatically say 'Yes' to more of that.  

Ironically, if all your focus in on the things you don't like, it's effectively saying 'yes' to more of that too.

Get Uncomfortable

"No Pain, No Gain"

Listen, if you are comfortable in every area of your life, you have a problem.  You are stuck in your 'comfort zone', doing those things that are comfortable for you to do.  Now, you might hate what you're doing, but doing what you've always done, is still more comfortable than the risk of the unknown.

Decide right now, with me, right this very minute to do something different.  Do that thing you keep telling yourself you ought to be doing.  Send that resume, talk to that person, take that action - that thing that will make you uncomfortable - because that's where the growth is.  That's where life begins.  Do it. Do it now.

Kaizen

"If you're doing something the same way you have been doing it for ten years, the chances are you are doing it wrong."

— Charles F. Kettering: was an American inventor and businessman
 
The Japanese have a philosophy that if you see someone you haven't seen for a while, you ought to be able to tell what's different.  It's a belief in Kaizen - constant and never-ending improvement.  Life doesn't stand still, why should we?  At the end of every day ask yourself, 'How did the day go? What could I have done better?' And then visualize tomorrow being better by utilizing the lessons of today.
