"The person on tiptoe is not steady. The person with legs astride cannot walk."
— Lao Tzu

Acting boldly keeps you steady as your movements are sharp and crisp.

Concentrating your efforts maintains your balance as your energy is focused and undistracted.

Choose your direction wisely and make it ambitious. Then commit to it and go forward with all the force you can muster.

“My father gave me the best advice of my life. He said: ‘Whatever you do, don’t wake up at 65 years old and think about what you should have done with your life.‘“
— George Clooney

To make sure you live your life without regrets, ask yourself the following question: "Will I regret doing or not doing this when I look back on it many years later, when I’m old?"

It puts you in the right frame of mind for understanding the importance of every action you take or don't take.

“When one door closes another door opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.“
— Alexander Graham Bell

If an opportunity has passed you by, it doesn't do you any good to be sad about it.

To keep your life moving forward, you have to look for new opportunities. Your next one could be just around the corner; keep your eyes open so you can grab it.
