Book: "Monday Morning Choices" by David Cottrell

I read this book, "Monday Morning Choices" by David Cottrell, recently and though that it's pretty good! I guess it falls into that kind of self-improvement & motivational category. Just want to share a tiny portion of the book.
Character Choices
1) The No Victim Choice --- Don't let your past eat your future.
Do I accept total responsibility for my success?
2) The Commitment Choice --- Be passionate enough to succeed.
Am I committed to paying the price of success?
3) The Values Choice --- Choose the right enemies.
Do I accept that there will be enemies who oppose my values?
4) The Integrity Choice --- Do the right thing.
Will my success be accomplished without a sacrifice of my integrity? 
Action Choices
5) The Do-Something Choice --- Don't vacation on "Someday Isle".
Will I attack complacency and do something daily towards success?
6) The Persistence Choice --- Learn from failure.
Will I hang in there, beyond failure, long enough to achieve success?
7) The Attitude Choice --- Take the enthusiastic approach.
Will I take a positive approach to the unexpected twists and turns of life?
8) The Adversity Choice --- Conquer difficult times.
Will I attack adversity, regardless of what happens along the way? 
Investment Choices
9) The Relationship Choice --- Connect with success.
Will I invest time in building positive relationships?
10) The Criticism Choice --- Embrace tough learning.
Do I accept criticism as valuable feedback?
11) The Reality Choice --- Face the truth.
Am I true to myself and all those around me?
12) The Legacy Choice --- Give your gift.
Do I share the gift of my experience and knowledge with others?
I know this sounds real cliche, but this is just the tip of an iceberg. The book provides great insights & reading it felt like going through a lesson about life! Good read if you are simply bumming around & feel a little lost in life.
