Make a run for it!

Our real duty is always found running in the direction of our worthiest desires.

Stay young!

If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.

Do you like yourself?

Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have.

Doris Mortman

You should like who you are and what you are interested in. As long as you are ashamed of yourself, you won’t find happiness anywhere, especially not in material goods.

Confidence for everybody

To grow and know that one is growing towards – that is the source of all strength and confidence in life.

James Baillie

The good thing about confidence gained through progress is that it starts early and keeps getting stronger.

You gain confidence not by being the best or being extremely skilled at something, but at getting better at something. Progress equals gaining confidence.

Pick whatever hobby you like and work on your skills, your confidence will boost! Confidence is about knowing that you are actually working on becoming a better person, it is not based on being the perfect person.

Choice

We each have a choice: To approach life as a creator or a critic, a lover or a hater, a giver or a taker.

Seize the day

People wait all week for friday,

all year for summer,

all life for happiness.

Why wait for good things to happen?

Instead, rather make them happen! Earn what you want to have, gain what you desire!

About learning

As some of you may know, I am currently working on becoming a great learner and I found this to be very true:

Learning gives creativity, Creativity leads to thinking, Thinking provides knowledge, Knowledge makes you great.

Abdul Kalam

You are responsible

If you want to succeed in the world must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until some one comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.

John B. Gough

This is your life and you are the captain.

While you wait for opportunities to knock at your door, others are making fortunes and living happy lifes. Think about what you want in life and then go out there and GO GET IT!

No arguments needed, simply start gaining what you want to have.

Get your hands dirty!

You cannot plough a field by
turning it over in your mind.

Yup, thinking is good. It’s great, I’d even say it is awesome!

I love to think.

Nontheless, there are a lot of things that just wont be accomplished by thinking alone.

Knowing the best fitness routine isn’t going to cut it, you have to get sweaty.
Knowing the easiest and fastest way to clean your apartment is not enough, you must apply!

Do not be lazy!
