Keep it up!

Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.

About ideas

Ideas won’t keep; something must be done about them.

Alfred North Whitehead

Do not lose your ideas, do something about them before it’s too late!

Lend a hand!

You do not make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.

Hey, listen!

I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So, if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening.

Help out

If you see a need, do not ask why doesn’t somebody do something, ask why don’t I do something. Hard work and persistence and initiative are still the non-magic carpets to success for most of us.

Observe yourself

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

Just go for it!

Everybody knows if you are too careful you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something.

Gertrude Stein

If everbody really knew this, that’d be great!

Sometimes you just have to go for it, trust me.

Obstacles?

Rocks on the Road? Store them all, one day you will build a castle.

It’s all about attitude! What is an obstacle for the pessimist is an opportunity for the optimist.

Being still

Being still and doing nothing are two different things.

Karate Kid

I recommend that you train to be still, it is worth the amount of time you have to invest.

Call it being still, relaxing, meditating, whatever you want, as long as you give it a shot.

Let’s be grateful

Grateful for my sore muscles today; it means my body is healthy and strong enough to endure physical challenges.

Grateful for my slight headache today; it means I have an abundance of friends with whom I make beatiful memories.

Grateful for the stacks of work in front if me; it means I am capable of being productive and earning a living.

Grateful for the blazing sun today; it means I can feel warmth on my skin, light in my eyes and thus, I am alive.

There is always something to be grateful for. Even things that seem to be negative on first sight, might turn out in a much better way than expected.

Learn to see the good things about everything, it is one of the skills that actually matter.
