1. Start with finding your purpose:
Your biggest source of inspiration is the incentive for your drive.

Once you find compelling reasons to take actions, commit yourself to see that activity through to the very end.

3. Show up everyday:

Avoid getting worked up over little things.
Avoid pointless arguments.
