*Make the best use of what you have/could have 

*Balance everything in your favor

*Engage in simple living

It is The Struggle itself that is most important, Strive to be greater than we are.

It doesn't matter that we never reach the ultimate goal. The effort yields its own rewards.

On the other side, letting go of things that don`t work is just as important.

A lot of teachings repeatedly affirm, limit our perception, make us tense, and obscure our nature.

Work with what you have until you find something/someone better

Condition yourself to succeed and use every advantage

Quality over Quantity

Substance over Style

Practicality over Idealism

Practice over Theory

Pull over Push

Personal Will over External Regulation

Great Work requires Dedication and Sacrifice

AVOID(http://www.softpanorama.org/Skeptics/groupthink.shtml):

Overestimating groups abilities

Believing in inherent morality

Developing rationalization for failures

Stereotyping adversaries

Suppressing doubts, reservations and criticism

Illusionary belief in unanimousness

Sure, there are limits but the human mind/body is full of warning systems that trigger prematurely, you are capable of much more than you think.
