Who is responsible?

Who is responsible for your misery/luck? Fate? Well maybe fate or some greater power controlls circumstances but you control everything else!

I don’t control life but I control how I react to it.

Macklemore

It is very important to understand that your mental state defines wether you are in a happy or in a sad place.

Be happy, consciously decide to be happy!

Make this world a better place

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Ken Keyes

You can not simply blame other people for being rude or selfish.

Walk around the world and spread kindness, joy and happiness and you will be payed back hundreds of times.

Use your brains

To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.

Mary Pettibone Poole

While mere education may bring you a steady income or even financial wealth in a long-term it will most certainly fail to bring you happiness and satisfaction.

Use your brains, think and question. Do not be stupid.

Words to live by

Epic:

The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem.

Do you understand?

What is success?

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Maya Angelou

What all successful people (especially enterpreneurs) have in common is that they really enjoy what they do for a living.

They like their work, their lifestyle, they like whatever they put their hands on.

This attitude is interesting because it works in two ways. You start doing stuff you like and soon enough you will find out about many more things you like. Always chose from a pool of interesting activities and I promise you there are things in there which are not only fun but will pay for your life.

Start with yourself

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Leo Tolstoi

Persistence is important

A river cuts through a rock not because of its power but its persistence

With persistence and time anything can be achieved. Especially in a time where “This can’t be done” usually gets interrupted pretty fast by a guy doing that exact thing.

Do not give up, hang in there and keep working towards your goals. You will achieve them sooner or later, always believe in that.

You are responsible!

Do you know what you are responsible for? Your happiness!

There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.

Passion!

All great achievements have one thing in common – people with a passion to succeed.

Pat Cash

Achievement does not happen by chance. It happens because someone sometimes had passion and pushed through.

You can be that someone. Are you passionate about something? Good, do it!

The real competition

Your toughness is made up of equal parts
persistence and experience. You don’t so much outrun your
opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest
opponent of all is the one inside your head.
