This practice of applying zero-based thinking and taking<br />

appropriate actions as a result of it requires courage and commitment.<br />

You must be brutally honest in your self-assessment.<br />

And you must be resolute in your determination to change.<br />

Begin now, and make it a habit to regularly ask yourself<br />

the zero-based thinking question: Knowing what I now<br />

know, is there anything I would not get into again today if I<br />

had it to do over? Carefully examine those activities or elements<br />

that gave rise to a ‘‘yes’’ response. Then, resolve to<br />

either change them to make them work once again or to<br />

abandon them. The results can be quite extraordinary as you<br />

eliminate negative, nonfunctional, or even dysfunctional aspects<br />

of your life, replacing them with new, positive ones.<br />

You will have higher energy. You will enjoy greater peace of<br />

mind. And you will be far more productive.<br />
