The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.

It is never too late
Wether one is 20, 40 or 60; wether one has succeeded, failed or just muddled along; wether yesterday was full of sun or storm, or one of those dull days with no weather at all, life begins each morning! Each morning is the open door to a new worl – new vistas, new aims, new tryings.

You can do it!
If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.
Jim Rohn
Today marks the end of two big projects I did for university (both stretching over several months) and as you can guess the last days were pretty intense work-wise. Therefore this quote comes in just handy and I’m happy that we found solutions instead of excuses.
I can guarantee you: Keep it up and the reward will come.
There is always a way!

Make use of everything
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
Kenji Miyazawa
Definitely not a simple thing to ask from any person, but pain in life is not optional. How you treat it on the other hand is within your power.
Use your negative experiences and your pain as motivation and as fuel that powers you on your way towards your goals.

Your comfort zone – abandon it!
Are you really happy or just really comfortable?
There is a difference. It seems very little to the comfortable person, but every happy person knows how huge the gap between happiness and just being comfortable actually is.
Staying in a cozy home every day, avoiding risks and therefore chances might seem like happiness to many, especially in our high-tech world.
But truth be told: You will only feel alive when you go out there and explore. Take risks, take chances, meet new people, embrace random encounters, be open towards new cultures, live with an open mind. It takes courage and strenght but it pays off and can be done step by step.
You would not want to waste your life in your comfort zone. Comfort zone is good, but who wants good, if he can have thrillingly exciting, adrenaline pumping happy?
Go out there!

PS: Nothing against a comfy, cozy home, in fact, you should make your home the perfect hang-out place. Just don’t rest on your laurels once youre done pay attention that your home does not become you life.
