If you don’t act on life, life has a way of acting on you. By connecting your goals and then reviewing them for five minutes each morning, you will exert your influence on life. By just checking your to-do list every morning, you will have a proactive matrix fixed in mind which helps you make best decisions throughout the day and enhances your work towards your goals.
