You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way!
Dr Seuss
There has to be something you wanted to do, something you always though about like ‘Yeah, I’ll do that some day’
Do it today! Start it today! Go for it!

I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.
Muhammad Ali
You can think of Ali whatever you want, he might not have been the best person. But he got that one straight: Be who you want to be and do what you want to do!
Nobody should stop you from pursuing your dreams and once you realize this you’ll be able to achieve more than you ever felt capable of.

Great effort springs naturally from a great attitude.
Pat Riley
Those lazy boys that always stand at the sideline and are best at watching other people work with hands in their pockets, they don’t acomplish much. Sometimes it may seem because against all sense those people are good at taking credit, but in the end only a work-hard attitude will result in great effort.

What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You know the saying: One year from now on you will wish you had started today!
Just begin, whatever it may be. It does not matter how small the first step is, but take it!

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make a mistake.
Elbert Hubbard
Constantly fearing to make a mistake will eventually push you into making the biggest mistake of all which is not doing anything. By doing nothing you become nothing and there’s nothing wrong about failing.
You are human, you are not supposed to know anything! Life is about learning and learning means being overwhelmed and then working your way through.
Be not afraid for life consists of mistakes! Go out there and enjoy them. Like I always say: Fail, try again, fail better!

Nothing can STOP the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can HELP the man with the wrong mental attitude.
Thomas Jefferson
It’s all about your mental attitude. Stop whining and don’t hope for other people’s help if your mind ist just fucked up.
Nobody can help you – no matter how great the effort may be – as long as you do not let them. Try nurturing a pet that has just decided not to eat any more without inflicting pain. It won’t work!
So get your head straight and problems will vanish or even better they won’t appear to begin with.

Whenever you are working on a task, may it be your homework or your lifetime dream,
and you come to that point when your motivation drops away. There are two ways to get your motivation back on track. First you can focus on the part you already achieved. Second you can focus on you goal and imagine how great you’ll feel once you’ve reached it. But these two strategies don’t always work same as good.
So… when you haven’t even finished the first half of you task it is much more motivating to focus on the progress you already made instead of the far away goal. But when you work on and your goal and it comes in sight its better to focus on the approaching sucess. Mind this and get yourself motivated again…

The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock.
The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be suprised how far that gets you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You are not a child! You may still be able to have fun like a child (which is awesome), but you are responsible for yourself meaning you are responsible for your own well-being. Therefore you may blame it on other people or life in general that you just don’t have motivation, love, a purpose in life, but in the end it is you who suffers and takes the consequences.
Even if you were right and someone else was trying to make you feel bad what would that make you? Nothing more than someone who gets bullied around and instead of fighting back just points his finger towards others.
Don’t be that unreactive tool, rather take action, start living! You create your own life and you have to stop thinking that ‘one day’ you will just wake up with discipline, one day you will just get to know the love of your life without effort or one day you simply get told why you are on earth.
It is your task (and a fun one) to form your habits, your mind, your soul and your body. Yup, sounds cheesy, but come to think of it: Who else but you has power over your life? Noone you say? Damn right, that’s what I wanted you to say! So go out there and be the person who you wanted to be, say the things that you wanted to say and do the stuff that you wanted to do!
