Confidence

Of course it is COURAGE people really need. Fear will stop you from doing anything if you let it. (We also call it 'confidence'.) Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection - these are some of the big ones. People who have deliberately ‘grown’ their courage live much more productive and rewarding lives.

Opportunities

There are millions of them everywhere you go. Every one has the power to improve your life if you are prepared to embrace them with courage.  Luck is Preparation meeting Opportunity:  from the day you are born you do the preparation - so that when the opportunity becomes clear you are able to take it. Opportunities usually arrive in a quiet way, so that only those people who have prepared for them really notice their arrival.

Friends

Friends are the family you choose for yourself. A supportive family is a hugely valuable asset, but whether you have a supportive and loving family or not, you CAN have supportive and loving friends.
A good friendship rarely happens automatically or by accident. It is grown by giving the person your friendship in return for theirs. If you want to have friends, improve your friendship-making skills. Be trustworthy. People don’t like those they can’t trust, so if you want people to like you, be worthy of their trust. Tell the truth. Stick with what you say. Be kind. True friends are priceless.
Notice the people who pull you off course and ruin your life - people who poison your thoughts and use up your time, money and energy. Spend less time with them and more time on what matters.
