Self-improvement

What can you do to improve your prospects of success?

Substitute obstructing activities and goals with supporting activities and goals.

This may sound simplistic and perhaps strange, but it does in fact not differ from doing what morality, ethics and religion have always proclaimed; albeit not in a rigid and timorous manner.

By analogy, replace fear and sin, condemnation and Last Judgement, bans and strict commandments with supporting activities and goals.
