      DEDICATION

      I dedicate this book with honor and respect for the fallen soldiers fighting under the banners of the fire and police departments of New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. I stand in awe of your dedication, courage, and sacrifice.

      And to the men and women of the fire and police departments across America who risk their safety for ours on a daily basis.

      Introduction

      I have personally lived by and enjoyed the benefits of using the ten Life Laws for many years. I must, however, confess that I am most frequently reminded of Life Law #7, which states: Life is managed; it is not cured. No matter how well you know the Life Laws or how strictly you intend to live by them, we all need a jump-start—a motivational kick—from time to time. The hardest part of incorporating the Life Laws into your life is overcoming old habits and getting unstuck.

      Well, that is exactly why I have written this book, Daily Life Strategies for Teens—to get the ball rolling and to give you that little kick in the pants that I know I frequently need.

      Whether it is motivation, inspiration, or just a quick reminder of what you are looking for, you have found it here. So, have fun with this book, and congratulations for taking that all-important first step toward creating a better life for yourself.

      Always remember, work hard and have fun; it’s the only way to go.

      To drift is to be in hell; to be in heaven is to steer.

      —GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

      January 2

      What are Life Strategies? Simply this: Plans for obtaining the things that matter to you in life.

      January 3

      Knowing what you don’t want in life is important because that makes it easier to identify the things you want to eliminate from your life.

      January 4

      Ask yourself these questions every morning while you’re contemplating getting out of bed:

      What do I want?

      What is it I want to do in order to make my life better?

      What is it I want to do to feel that I’m living with some passion and some kick-ass excitement?

      What do I want to add to my life?

      What do I want to eliminate?

      January 5

      Do you think you’ve got the power to make big changes in your life to get what you want? Or do you think that because you’re not yet self-supporting and on your own that you’re pretty much stuck with what life gives you? I promise you, you’ve got a lot more personal power than you realize. You just aren’t yet aware of how to use it.

      January 6

      You cannot cram for life.

      January 7

      Everything you will ever be, you are now becoming. It’s okay to live in the moment, but the choices you are making now are the building blocks for where you will be later.

      January 8

      In order to get what you want now and set yourself up for what you want later, you have to take charge of the things that you can influence, and you have to stop whining about the things you cannot. Start thinking about which are which.

      January 9

      We can bloom where we are planted. We can make our lives work right where we are.

      January 10

      Being a success and being a winner don’t just happen. But you can make them happen if you know the rules and learn to play by them.

      January 11

      You are in control of your life in many ways you aren’t yet even aware of. If you understand and use the
