-Finishing what you start
-Sticking to things that you know are good for you in the long term, even though you can't see it in the short term
-Clarity in everything, know what is going on, what to do, understanding, awareness, know what you find fun and enjoyable, what gets your blood going, what is your reason for living, what can I be passionate about? what am I passionate about? ect. What is all this life for? What do I want to do with my life? What are my genuine goals? Desires? What and where is the meaning? ...Clarity
/\ Great ideas all, I second.
I do have some adjustments to the next few however:

Just seeing the good in them, appreciate them, see the real them, the goodness that is there. All people have it, it is there, you just have to look at it
I'd change this to simply seeing the good in everyone you come into contact with, while still allowing you to detach from people who aren't your type, be that romantic type or simply the kinds of people you don't want to be around.
It might even be cool if you could inspire the "real" person to emerge. This is one thing I'm always trying to do, get people to be and appreciate themselves. It'd be cool if this could be an effortless effect of the way you are.

I dont think being unhappy with where you are and then change things through frustration is the most effective way to make postive change. You will just keep attracting more negatives and frustration, and continue to see what dont want, instead if what you do want. You dont want to keep looking at the lack and unwanted you want see unwanted and then keep thoughts on wanted.
I personally think seeing the good where you are but at the same time desiring more is a much happie, smoother, much more effective in moving towards desires.
You only need to see what you dont want, to know what you DO want. Then focus only apon your desire. You cannot get inspired action, when you are focused on the unwanted. Only when you have made peace with where you are, feeling good and focused intently apon wanted desires.
/\ I think the above can be summed up to the effect of accepting everything (people, yourself, your situation) while also trying to go for a better you, a better life, better relationships etc. Essentially always progressing, but the acceptance IS very important for a true man, imho.
