We each have a choice: To approach life as a creator or a critic, a lover or a hater, a giver or a taker.

Seize the day
People wait all week for friday,
all year for summer,
all life for happiness.
Why wait for good things to happen?
Instead, rather make them happen! Earn what you want to have, gain what you desire!

Get your hands dirty!
You cannot plough a field by
turning it over in your mind.
Yup, thinking is good. It’s great, I’d even say it is awesome!
I love to think.
Nontheless, there are a lot of things that just wont be accomplished by thinking alone.
Knowing the best fitness routine isn’t going to cut it, you have to get sweaty.
Knowing the easiest and fastest way to clean your apartment is not enough, you must apply!
Do not be lazy!

Embrace Chaos and Problems
Storms make oaks take roots.
Only through chaos and conflict you will learn to cope with problematic situations.
Living a live without challenges, without dead-ends, would make you a pretty boring and also pretty weak on your own.
You have to embrace challenges in order to grow with them, in order to become more awesome day by day.

Courage
People may hate you for being different and not living by society’s standards, but deep down, they wish they had the courage to do the same.

Look twice
Looking sharp is easy when you haven’t done any work.

Confidence
Do you feel confident? Good, continue with your life. If not, you might want to read on.
There is a good chance that you are not confident with yourself or at least with some aspect of your life. The question is how to change this.
The good thing is: Becoming confident is easy!
In order to become confident about anything you have to improve!
It is not about acing every task, it is not about being better than anybody else. It is about being better than you were yesterday. It is about outperforming yourself. That is what boosts human confidence!
Improving is more important than being the best
What good is it to know that you are the best at something? It puts pressure on you, it motivates others. You on the other hand begin to build strong confidence the moment you start training, learning and improving, not when you stop any of those activities.
Actually your mind wants you to improve and that is why it supports you. Even small changes in your life will boost your confidence and increase your happiness Level. You do not have to get from couch potato to medal winner in no time. You just have to start making steps towards your goal.
Everybody has something he or she wants to work on. Start learning by learning small and easy stuff, start cooking by cooking simple dishes, start working out by jogging a little and making some bodyweight-exercises. Start reading some pages a day, then increase slowly. There are hundred ways to improve whatever situation you are in, just don’t make the mistake of thinking “Well it is so easy, what change will it make? I could if I wanted to.” Do not start thinking like this! Just start improving. Confidence and Happiness will come to your life like a moth to a flame, trust me on this one.
Happy improving,

50k!
BAM! Almost one year ago I posted that I was super stoked about my first 10 000 visitors on motivatingdaily.com (Read the post here)
Today, little over two years after starting this blog without any clue on how it would grow I can proudly announce that I’ve reached the 50k!
50 000 people!
Last year I said “Thanks again and let’s hit the 100k“, which now seems so damn close! Thanks to you guys, who read, commented, liked and shared my posts!
I am honoured to have that many readers, still counting!
So, again, like last year, thank you a lot for your support!
By the way, I realised that with over 200 followers many of you probably do not visit the page itself that often, do you? So I ask you for a favour: When you read this celebration post, please visit motivatingdaily.com in your browser. I am curious what sort of impact this will have on my stats 🙂 Thanks in advance!
You like motivatingdaily? Go tell your friends (and enemies, maybe they need it the most). You do not like something or have some suggestions? Awesome, go tell me, I’m always glad to improve this site!
So far, let’s hit another 50k an we’ll talk again 🙂

Dragged back?
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.
