surviving_lifeEach day we live out the current story of our lives as a continuing autobiography. And if you’re at all like me and take the time to review it regularly, you may wish you could alter the plot lines.

Some of us are rooted in poverty mode, merely surviving and hoping to get by day-to-day. Some are in stability mode, basically comfortable and doing okay. Others are in prosperity mode, living abundantly and enjoying the benefits of having achieved self-mastery.

As we climb the rungs on the ladder of life, the key is to avoid back-sliding. We’ve got to behave as if we’re in a submarine filling with water by leaving the flooding compartment promptly and securing the hatches behind us.

Whatever mode you’re currently living in, the good news is that you can always change it for the better.
