You cannot tailor make your situation in life, but you can tailor make your attitudes to fit those situations.

It’s about attitude
Reply
I believe
I do believe. I believe in talent, determination and hard work. I believe that YOU are talented and that YOU can make a difference.
I believe that every person is born with talent.
Maya Angelou
This is not a stupid saying. Think about it: Every person is born with a talent. Talent meaning something you are good at and you like at the same time! That means you can make the world a better place by doing some job extremely well and at the same time you will be rewarded with a fun and awesome life.
But it is your decision. Don’t hold back, don’t settle for mediocrity! Find your passions and your talents and work on them. Practice, Practice, Practice!
Enjoy,

How to build up self esteem
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Ever found yourself lacking self-esteem or having trouble doing certain tasks that you felt you should be able to do?
I have a cure for that. Challenge yourself! Chose any given task that is a personal challenge, may it be going to the club alone, talking to strangers, building something, jumping out of a plane, whatever it is that you are scared of.
Take this task/challenge and go for it! Embrace your fear, embrace your uncomfortable feeling! You will push through, you will suceed and finally you will feel great, comfortable, full of self-esteem and courage.
Every once in a while you have to achieve tasks, you have to prove to yourself: I can do it! If your job or your hobbies don’t give you this good feeling of having achieved something than you have to add it to your life in other ways.
This is for example why video games or games in general are so popular. Achieving stuff, no matter how small, lets us grow as persons. We show ourselves and others: I still got it, I can learn to do something that I was not able to do before, I am awesome!
I dare you. I double-dare you! Go out and prove to yourself that you are in fact awesome!

I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.

Don’t take this literally, love who you want. But isn’t this quote amazing and powerful? This is the spirit you’ll need to start a legacy!
LOVE your work! If you do not love your current work see it as a stepping stone for your dreams. Earn money in order to realise your dream projects so that one day you’ll work for fun rather than for money.

Take risks!
You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Christopher Columbus
You should be willing to risk something you have, even if it is good, in order to achieve something better. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win. But as long as you cling onto your old lifestyle you won’t make progress.

Keep busy!
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Albert Einstein
I think this quote was already posted some time ago and I did doubted its origin back then. I still do. Nontheless this quote is awesome!
You see sometimes there is this point where you don’t do much. You sleep a lot, still feel tired often, don’t have the energy to get even small things done and you just don’t feel good.
What you need is being busy! Do stuff, cram you days full with exciting things to do. Then chores like cleaning or cooking just happen alongside without you even noticing the work you put into them.
As long as you always have something to do and always something interesting to do, you will feel way more energetic than when you have 100% free time. Free time does not equal “Free” time.
