About happiness and freedom

The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Just a beatiful quote 🙂

Finally! Toplevel!

YES! As a little christmas gift to myself, I decided to get a toplevel-domain for this blog!

Also I changed the name from dailymote to motivatingdaily, which is more straight-forward in my eyes. You may already have noticed that the category has the new name “motivatingdaily” and the twitter account also is named like this.

Together with the new domain “motivatingdaily.com” I made the new banner, which you can link if you want. You can just use the banner from the top of the page or request me via mail, I’ll send you smaller versions or even other formats.

So spread the world, let’s take motivatingdaily.com viral in 2011! 🙂

A bit of motivation?

This quote is from Andrew Carnegie, a person I respect a fucking lot! He did not only achieve a lot, he also knows a hellish amount of usefull stuff about success. That is why todays quote kicks ass:

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

Andrew Carnegie

You have to keep motivating yourselve! You have to go on day by day!

No one cares about what you are capable of doing unless you actually do it, face it!

You are so good at something and “could achieve so much”? Well then start today, get off your lazy ass and eventually succeed! Since you read this blog I guess you are not comfortable with the thought of mediocrity  therefore this is probably a good quote for all of you to think about 😉

The difference between living and existing

Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.

I like this quote because of its profound message. You will live anyway, you will go through a lot of change, you will fail, you will succeed, you will make mistakes and you will experience a lot of stuff, that is granted!

But what you make out of all that, if you are willing to learn from it or not, that depends on your attitude!

I personally think that the difference between existing and actually living a live lies right there. Too many people exist and die, too few people really “live” their lives to the fullest.

Do yourselves a favour, live your life!

I like having fun! :)

You like playing games and having fun? Well I guess everything does, but think about this:

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.

Walt Disney

Not very special words, but if you read them spoken by a person like Walt D., or as I like to say: The big D!, they sound pretty awesome!

Actually there are few things that make more fun than actually doing the impossible or rather what seemed impossible for so many people. So if you have something obviously impossible in your head that you dream of:

GO OUT AND DO IT!

I wish you all the best and believe me: You will enjoy it 😉

Make your choice!

Merry Christmas, reader! I’m happy to write this, because I have been into this blog for almost 3 months and it is acutally making more fun everyday! I hope you have a nice Christmas Eve and don’t worry, daily quotes WILL continue of course 😉

On top of that, I made myself a christmas present (-> I made this blog a christmas present), which I will show to you in the next days, but not before monday for I’m visiting my grandma 🙂

Todays quote:

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

Wayne Dyer

You maybe don’t believe it, but only you can decide about your life!

Yes, you can be miserable and say you have a bad life. Well, then that’s it, right? Good luck with that, we have nothing to talk about.

But I believe, I strongly do, you are here because you want CHANGE! So try to reach for the stars daily and keep your head held high in order to reach your goals.

A word about competition!

Today I deliver you a great quote about competition. But I’m talking ‘real’ competition, not this illusion of competing against other egos in the world:

The principle is competing against yourself. It is about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.

Steve Young

Are you doing enough in order to reach your goals?

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

Confucius

I strongly believe in the fact that NOTHING is impossible. Everyone can achieve everything in his life and that is why you should never let go of your dreams and your goals!

If it seems that you won’t get where you want to get, you don’t have to accept that, you can always adjust the amount of action taken and eventually you will succeed!

Give your VERY BEST!

Don’t care about measuring, don’t care about hours, about meters, about feet, about speed, about height, just focus on one thing:

Always give your VERY BEST!

Nothing more to add.
