Adapt and enjoy
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
Yeah, winter sucks, it’s cold and wet.
Ugh, it’s so warm today, I don’t want to do anything, summer can be really stressfull.
I don’t know what to wear, it’s not cold, not warm, curse you spring and fall!
Well it is not always about what you don’t have and what you wish for. Mostly you have the best times if you just accept the current situation and enjoy it.
Adapt to whatever life gives you and enjoy the hell out of it. Who can stop you? That’s right, because you decided to have fun without depending on outer circumstances, no one can take you that. Enjoy your fun 🙂

Start doing something right now!
Inspiration does not come to those who wait for it, it finds those who act.
This principle is so damn important! Literally 10 minutes ago I sat in front of my computer, being mindless, doing nothing. Hell, I was not even browsing reddit for stupid pictures, I was literally doing nothing at all.
It was not that I had nothing to do. New, awesome video games, a new vinyl, new interesting books, taking a jog, watching a good movie, writing an article, I was even too lazy to eat.
I had no motivation to do anything and was sitting there, thinking “Just wait, in some minutes you will be inspired and motivated again. You will pick something and do it.”
But guess what? That did not happen! Instead I remembered this important lesson that I had to repeat often times before believing it: In order to get motivated for action you have to act first. Sounds stupid, but works! If you feel unmotivated and without power you just stand up and do something! Start cleaning your apartment, do your laundry, do push-ups, take a shower, anything really! Just don’t sit there and do nothing at all.
Why waste your time when you could do awesome stuff? This post is not about not relaxing, don’t get me wrong. But there is a big difference between relaxing and being lazy and getting nothing done. Relaxing is something active that kicks ass and is fun. Being lazy and getting nothing done is just a stupid waste of time.
So maybe I had the luck to catch you in a moment of unproductivity and this was your wake-up call. By the way: I recently realised that many of you read my posts in the morning while still in bed or sleepy. For those of you: Don’t even think about going back into your warm and cozy dreamland, get up and get going pal!

Keep going!
The harder your life is right now, the more important it is to keep going.
When life is hard on you, knocks you down and pushes you around, it is important to keep your head up high and a positive attitude. In the end what can possibly bring you down if you refuse to give up? Nothing!
The harder life is on you, the harder you have to fight back. Don’t dwell in self-pitty or pain. Get out there, work out, embrace your hobbies, meet friends, have fun. Don’t stop living!

Is your life interesting?
Imagine your life was a book, everyday of your life is a page and every chapter is your age. Many desire to have a really long book but very few choose to make it interesting. At the current conclusion of your own book, I ask you this “Would you truly pick it up and read it
Are you really living a life or are you merely existing? If it is the latter you have to step up your game! Find a job you love, find hobbies to be good at, find friends that are worth being called friends, live a life worth reading!

Aer you underestimating yourself?
You probably are.
It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.
You will know this feeling: Seeing someone in a successful position, be it actor, musician or manager, and thinking ‘How can he pull that off, I could not, he must know so much more.’
Maybe the person does know much more. But it wasn’t always like that. One day the person knew exactly as much as you did, but decided to go for it anyway. Now see where it has brought other people to just start.
You can achieve what every other human being can achieve. Persistence and Motivation are the keys to success, so wrap your hand around it and get going!

Sports motivation!
Somewhere, someone is practicing. When you meet that person on the field, face to face, one on one, he will beat you. Unless that person practicing is you. So run the stairs, crank the corners, hit the wall, and when you feel like giving up, think, is that person giving up?
Some people think you train with your body, but that does not quite cut it. Every body gets tiret during training, even athletes have this problem, it’s natural. That’s when the mind comes in and you have to push yourself beyond known limits.
The mind has to bend the limits the body thinks it has. A strong body with a weak mind won’t train and will get weak over time.
Start to train and train hard, it’s all about the mindset.

Don’t overthink it
A wise man thinks once and then acts. A worried man thinks twice and then acts. A coward thinks once thinks again and fails to act.
Giving too much or too few fucks about anything is a bad thing. Make up your mind, decide and act.

How to behave
Be the type of person you want to meet!

Seize the day self-improvement style!
Always go to bed as a better man than the guy you were when you woke up this morning. Always.
ALWAYS!
This is simple. Don’t compare yourself to others for they are simply no benchmark. They live other lives, have other problems, they are not you.
Compare yourself to your former self and do so every day. If you don’t make progress, stop, take a breath, think about what you want to achieve as a person and human being and START TO BECOME AMAZING!
Everyday a little bit better will bring such an amazing result, you won’t believe it. Always think: Will this matter in one year? And hell yeah, even running one mile will matter in one year, especially if you do it daily.
