Set your mind!

Don’t have that conversation with yourself where you say, ‘He’s got more talent than I do,’ or ‘She’s faster than I am.’ Success depends on what’s in your mind. I can tell you that being a boxing champion means more than physically waking up one morning and discovering a muscle or two. It happens from the tip of your toes all the way up to the crown of your head. Success is about your spirit….

George Foreman

I hate talking to people who complain about ‘just not being good enough’. You will never earn as much, look as good, or be as happy as ‘those people’? Well NO, not with that attitude! And now get that shit out of your head once and for all and start being awesome!

Remember being a little child an not different from anyone else? Well you still are as capable as everyone else and you will realise this as soon as you kill that sick ideas in your head that tell you you’re not enough.

You are capable of MUCH more than you can possibly imagine, you just have to take the leap of faith and go for it!

A champion is one who gets up when he can’t.

Jack Dempsey

When you watch Sport stars you might think that training is easy for them right? You might get the idea that pushups just feel natural for them.

Well guess what? Push-Ups kill those people! They kill everyone! And they hate them too. The differnce is: They either don’t care or they have more important things to worry about than their lame-ass heads telling them to be lazy! The difference between the successful ones and the failures is just the motivation to keep on going despite all the reasons against it.

Ali for example stated on several occasions that he hated every single second of his training but he knew that it would pay him back. And it sure did!

If you have a strong mind you will still encounter problems or as I like to say tasks/opportunities. You will just be able to find reasonable solutions and work them out no matter how tough it gets!

Smile!

Are you still reading this? Stop, take a break and SMILE

Okay, smiling is awesome! Smiling is powerfull and amazing. But wait! There is more: Not only does it make you happy instantly (has it just worked?), it makes other people happy!

A simple smile from a stranger can make some persons day! So if you go wander around your city don’t look down, don’t hide, instead smile at people! The worst case that can happen is ignorance and who gives a damn? In 90% of the cases other people will be pleasantly suprised and you helped yourself and some stranger to have a better day.

Just do it 🙂

Be that ‘someone else’

Well, someone will end up doing it

Yup, someone always ends up doing it. Be that person!

Be there when work needs to be done.

Be there when success needs to be achieved.

Do your job, work hard and work whenever you have the possibility to contribute.

Start early, work hard, end late in the night!

Believe me it will bring great results and make you happy!

But be careful not to be everyones bitch, this is not about doing the work that lies in other peoples duty!

Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.

Doug Ivester

Ever find yourself dwelling in the past?

Well that is not wrong in general but if you find yourself there too often you have to act! Don’t let your past memories be more awesome then your current situation or your perspective in the future!

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

Lao Tzu

Every achievement, no matter how great, can be broken down into small actions. Never think bad of the small tasks, instead fulfill them with great passion!

Don’t look for scapegoats

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Chinese Proverb

When something goes wrong you should not start looking for someone to blame. Think about what you could have done or can do in the future to  prevent sucht things.

It is not worth anything to have someone to blame if it does not provide a solution. Don’t be the hater, instead be the one who observes and comes up with some ideas to be better next time. Take the high road!

You are being watched

What makes a man is not how he behaves in front of people but rather how he behaves when no one is looking.

Behaving in front of people just shows that you have manners or self respect. It shows that you want to present yourself in a certain way.

But what you do when no one is watching, how you behave when no one is looking and judging, that shows who you really are.

Think about this and think about wether or not you like this person right now.

The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.

Sven Goran Eriksson

This cannot be stressed enough!

Just go for it!

Think like this: What would you do if you could not possibly fail? Have something in mind? Okay, then go do it!

People always fail, no one will judge your failures. But people will judge you not trying!
