Don’t let fear limit you!

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.
Anthony Robbins

Fear is important because it is your brain telling you “Be careful!”. Nothing more, nothing less. So don’t let this warning sign discourage you. Pursue your dreams and work with the fear that comes on your way. Don’t chose your way according to what is easy and pleasant but on what you want to achieve in the end!

Look forward!

We have to go for what we think we’re fully capable of, not limit ourselves by what we’ve been in the past.
Vivek Paul

This “I could not do it the last time – why now?” attitude crossed my mind way too often lately. Fuck that guys! Just imagine a baby beginning to walk but stopping right now thinking “Hey dude you’re an infant, you have never been able to walk, why should it work now?”!

Of course this won’t happen, a baby would just try, try again, try again and finally succeed. Because those little people are not yet disturbed by their damn minds telling them lies about possibilities and propabilities. So go out there and do what you think you can achieve and don’t aim too low, you might reach your goal!

It’s about hard work!

If you knew how much work went into it, you wouldn’t call it genius.
Michelangelo

I love how every single successfull person refers to hard work when it comes to a reciepe for success. Great ideas or starting capital are nice things, but when you want to finish a job it comes down to hard work and persistence. And people judge you by what you finish, not by what you start!

Don’t fear critics!

If you have no critics you’ll likely have no success.
Malcom X

Critics are nothing to be afraid of. Don’t let them drag you down, but keep your head up high and work hard!

Some thoughts on perfection

Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It just means you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections in life.

It is that simple, believe me. Strive for perfection, but never believe that you can’t be happy until you’ve reached it!

Life consists of imperfections which just means: Life ist not the same as Imagination. And that is a good thing because if it was, what then? Being 30 years old and having everything perfect? Why bother living anymore?

Be happy and strive for perfection, that is the mixture that will lead to a happy and fullfilled life!

Don’t be normal!

Only those who attempt the absurd…will achieve the impossible.
M.C. Escher

It is sad to see how many people try to act normal, to fit in. Don’t do that! Think about it, even if you suceed, even if you become the best “normal” person in the world, what have you got? Nothing that makes you interesting.

Feel free to stick out, feel free to do the unusual. With that, you will have a lot more fun in life than with being perfectly normal, no matter how good you are at it.

Work hard!

Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker

Ahh I love Drucker quotes, this man really knows something about hard work. Everyone has plans, some people more, some people less. But all plans have this thing in common: If they don’t degenerate into action, they are worth nothing. A plan without action is like an engine without fuel. You can have the best engine in the world, but as long as you don’t put fuel in it, it won’t run at all!

The inner fight!

When the fight begins within himself, a man’s worth something
Robert Browning

What about people who don’t have opinions, who don’t care about anything, who don’t try to do better every day? It is a struggling mountain path in a good way. Men are ment to strive for the greatest so start today by asking yourself: WHAT DO I WANT FROM LIFE AND WHY DON’T I FIGHT FOR THAT?

Attitude!

Attitudes are more important than facts.
Dr. Karl Menninger

Don’t let people drag you down with their talk about facts and propabilities. It is about your attitude rather than about anything else and your attitude alone determines if you are happy or not.
