“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier

They often say that we need to find success, but it’s not lost—there’s no need to search for it. Success is something we create through our daily choices, most of which may seem small, but they have the biggest impact.

H. Jackson Brown Jr.'s Life's Little Instruction Book is a wonderful source of inspiration for living a life full of purpose, positivity, and persistence. Take a look.

📌21 Suggestions for Success

1. Marry the right person. This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery.  

2. Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.  

3. Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully.  

4. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.  

5. Be forgiving of yourself and others.  

6. Be generous.  

7. Have a grateful heart.  

8. Persistence, persistence, persistence.  

9. Discipline yourself to save money, even on the most modest salary.  

10. Treat everyone you meet the way you want to be treated.  

11. Commit yourself to constant improvement.  

12. Commit yourself to quality. 

13. Understand that happiness is not based on possessions, power, or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect.  

14. Be loyal.  

15. Be honest.  

16. Be a self-starter.  

17. Be decisive, even if it means you'll sometimes be wrong.

20. Take good care of those you love.  

21. Don't do anything that wouldn't make your mom proud.

Keep shining and keep smiling! ✨
