1. Start each day with Prayer and fellowship with God the Father. What you do first everyday is your utmost priority. Honor God by putting Him first everyday. Prayer is an expression of humility and
dependence on God. Imitate Jesus and become a man or woman of daily prayer. See Psalm 5:1-3; 63:1; Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12
2. Read your Bible everyday, If possible with the guide of a daily devotional. God’s Word has cleansing power. It cleanses your mind and strengthens your faith.

3. Read a chapter in Proverbs everyday. A chapter in Proverbs is a training in wisdom. Whenever you increase the measure of your wisdom, your quality of life and your decision making improves.

13. Cultivate the spirit of excellence. Excellence is doing all that you do with first class attitude. If you put your best into life, you will get the best out of life. See Daniel 6:3; Proverbs 12:24; 13:4; 1 Corinthians 9:24-26
14. Add value to someone’s life everyday. Be a dynamic influence everywhere you go by leaving each person better than the way you found them. See Hebrews 10:24 NLT; Matthew 4:19
