there is always something to be thankful for.

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attiturde in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
Viktor Frankl
Wow, powerful!
I don’t know any quote or example that shows the importance of this fact in a more clear way. YOU decide who you are and it is not at all depending on outer circumstances.
So use this possibility to make the best out of yourself and stop blaming anything but you for your character!

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Don’t be afraid to move out of your comfort zone. Some of your best life experiences and opportunities will transpire only after you dare to lose.
I read this quote the other day and thought to myself:
EVERYTHING good in life comes from getting out of your comfort zone.
And if you have something else that you really like than you attained it by abandoning your comfort zone in the past.
Don’t think your “comfort” zone is called that because it is actually a good thing, it just gives you the mere illusion of a comfortable lifestyle, but not a life worth living.
Get out there. Start today, start NOW!

Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive.
Robert Schuller
Goals are very important, you got to have them!
Short-term goals als well as long-term goals, small goals as well as very hard goals, you must have some perspectives in life and goals give you this perspective and motivate you.

Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow.

I have currently been reading the Art of Expressing the Human Body for another time and this took my breath away again:
Bruce had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We’d run the three miles in twenty-one or twenty-two minutes. Just under eight minutes a mile [Note: when running on his own in 1968, Lee would get his time down to six-and-a half minutes per mile]. So this morning he said to me “We’re going to go five.” I said, “Bruce, I can’t go five. I’m a helluva lot older than you are, and I can’t do five.” He said, “When we get to three, we’ll shift gears and it’s only two more and you’ll do it.” I said “Okay, hell, I’ll go for it.” So we get to three, we go into the fourth mile and I’m okay for three or four minutes, and then I really begin to give out. I’m tired, my heart’s pounding, I can’t go any more and so I say to him, “Bruce if I run any more,” —and we’re still running-“if I run any more I’m liable to have a heart attack and die.” He said, “Then die.” It made me so mad that I went the full five miles. Afterward I went to the shower and then I wanted to talk to him about it. I said, you know, “Why did you say that?” He said, “Because you might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.

A warrior sees life’s obstacles as opportunities. He doesn’t shy away from challenges- rather he seeks them, knowing that they represent the greatest experiences of life.”
