“One must know oneself. Even if it does not help in finding truth, at least it helps in running one’s life, and nothing is more proper.”
― Blaise Pascal

Don’t be…

• Don’t be lazy.
• Don’t be soft.
• Don’t be impatient.
• Don’t be indecisive.

Instead be…

• Be prepared.
• Be observant.
• Be logical.
• Be calm.
• Be confident.
• Be brave.
• Be humble.
• Be kind.
• Be strong.
• Be adventurous.

There are hundreds of “be this” and “don’t be that” goals. Create a personal list and try to live up to it. Don’t make it about who you are. Make it about who you strive to be.
