You can do it!
If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.
Jim Rohn
Today marks the end of two big projects I did for university (both stretching over several months) and as you can guess the last days were pretty intense work-wise. Therefore this quote comes in just handy and I’m happy that we found solutions instead of excuses.
I can guarantee you: Keep it up and the reward will come.
There is always a way!

Make use of everything
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
Kenji Miyazawa
Definitely not a simple thing to ask from any person, but pain in life is not optional. How you treat it on the other hand is within your power.
Use your negative experiences and your pain as motivation and as fuel that powers you on your way towards your goals.

Your comfort zone – abandon it!
Are you really happy or just really comfortable?
There is a difference. It seems very little to the comfortable person, but every happy person knows how huge the gap between happiness and just being comfortable actually is.
Staying in a cozy home every day, avoiding risks and therefore chances might seem like happiness to many, especially in our high-tech world.
But truth be told: You will only feel alive when you go out there and explore. Take risks, take chances, meet new people, embrace random encounters, be open towards new cultures, live with an open mind. It takes courage and strenght but it pays off and can be done step by step.
You would not want to waste your life in your comfort zone. Comfort zone is good, but who wants good, if he can have thrillingly exciting, adrenaline pumping happy?
Go out there!

PS: Nothing against a comfy, cozy home, in fact, you should make your home the perfect hang-out place. Just don’t rest on your laurels once youre done pay attention that your home does not become you life.
Why the rush?
To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.
Shakespeare
Sometimes you just have to start slowly, working yourself into something.
Why rush things? Planning and good calculations are worth a lot more than impatient actions.
Actually George R.R. Martin said some wise words about this topic:

Please fail once in a while
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.
Bill Gates
This one is important not to forget!
Success is awesome, but beware of taking it for granted. It lures you into a false mindset of “Nothing can go wrong” and will make your next failure way harder than it actually is.

You can do it!
I am neither an optimist nor pessimist, but a possibilist.
Max Lerner
The question of having success or not is often answered simply by seeing and using opportunities. Solve problems, leap hurdles, achieve your goals.
