10 Rules for the Ride of Your Life
#1 "Your the Driver of Your Bus." - This is the most important rule: Take responsibility for your life. Take control. Don't subject yourself to whimsy of others."You don't have to sit passively by like so many souls who let life create them. You can take the wheel and choose to create your life, one thought, one belief, one action, one choice at a time. It's your bus and your the driver and you choose where you are going and the kind of ride it's going to be." - The Energy Bus, chapter 7.

#4 "Invite People on Your Bus and Share Your Vision for the Road Ahead."- The more people who join your bus the more positive energy you will have to fuel it. Share your vision and ask the people in your life to get on board.
#5 "Don't Waste Your Energy on Those Who Don't Get on Your Bus." - Not everyone is going to want to get on your bus and you shouldn't worry or try to force them on. This will only drain your your energy.

"When you fuel up with purpose you find the excitement in the mundane, the passion in the everyday, and the extraordinary in the ordinary. Purpose is what life is all about. Every one's out there trying to find their purpose when all you have to do is find the bigger purpose in the here and now and your purpose will find you." - The Energy Bus, chapter 29.
