Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

Are you fit?
Advice from an older person:
Start lifting weights yesterday
I personally do not like lifting weights but this is not about hitting the gym or not it is about getting in shape, staying fit and healthy and starting at least right now.
You are either good at looking for solutions or good at looking for excuses, don’t chose the latter one!

Get active!
You may theorize and memorize and postulate all you want… but until you finally do, you will never truly know.
As I wrote in a post about the difference between theoretical and practical learning roughly a year ago there is a huge difference between theory and reality.
In order to master skills you have to get active! Reading and educating yourself is good but not enough at all. You have to get on your feet and start active practise!

Push through!
Consider the postage stamp… it secures success through its ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.
Josh Billings
Be like a postage stamp! Pick your destination and stick to hard work until you get there!

Morning depression?
Especially in the dark and cold time of the year it happens to people that they get sad. Right after they realize the alarm clock is ringing, demanding to start the day, people lose themselves in thoughts about life, about how senseless it is, how hard, the list goes on and on.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy and to love.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
You have to realize how grateful you should be for being alive.
The world is a super awesome place, a big playground and you can do whatever you like. Why waste your chances, aim for the moon!

Sleep?!
“Sleep?!” He said. “Sleep is for those people who are broke. I have an opportunity to make a dream become a reality. I do not sleep.”

All work and no play…
Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions.
Mark Twain
I can’t stand people who dislike work.
Those guys have not understand what work is about. It is about doing something you like and you’re good at and getting paid for it rather than working your ass of like a slave for someone you don’t like. If your work does not make you happy you should look out for an alternative.
If you don’t like your job, get a new one, then quit!

What a circus!
We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it does not.
We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
Charles Bukowsky
Human beings should feel united, strong and in support for each other since we’re all in the same game of life.
Instead we chose to give ourselves and each other a hard time and tend to drive ourself crazy.
Today I want you to enjoy the circus of life, the crazy experience you are able to enjoy. Smile, Sing, Dance, Jump, enjoy your day! 🙂
