The Seven Laws of the Sea

 "...I am the Master of my fate and the Captain of my soul" – Invictus by William Ernest Henley

1. Know your ship and its captain: Get to know yourself, honestly and without blame. Decide what you want to change. 
2. Respect your crew: Understand (and learn to use) the power of your subconscious mind and its faithful obedience to your commands. 
3. Chart a clear destination: Think big and choose a bold course. 
4. Check your cargo: Toss out unwanted baggage or stowaways. Maintain the vessel - Exercise, eat right, get enough sleep and keep learning. 
5. Watch the winds: Life throws us unexpected challenges that require attention - but can also bring rich rewards. 
6. Stay in command: Without a Captain calling the shots, any ship will end up on the rocks rather than in the port of your dreams
