The rules for being amazing (picture)

I’m a firm believer in attitude. Some people just don’t have that desire, and they need a good kick up the arse. Look, you’ve come to train… let’s fucking train! Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you’ll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It’s so much more rewarding!

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it.

Dreams don’t work unless you do.
You can make dreams come true.
Every dream requires work, taking risks and determination, life does not gift you success.

How many of us have become drunks and drug addicts, developed tumors and neuroses, succumbed to painkillers, gossip, and compulsive cell-phone use, simply because we don’t do that thing that our hearts, our inner genius, is calling us to? Resistance defeats us.
If tomorrow morning by some stroke of magic every dazed and benighted soul woke up with the power to take the first step toward pursuing his or her dreams, every shrink in the directory would be out of business. Prisons would stand empty. The alcohol and tobacco industries would collapse, along with the junk food, cosmetic surgery, and infotainment businesses, not to mention pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and the medical profession from top to bottom.
Domestic abuse would become extinct, as would addiction,
obesity, migraine headaches, road rage, and dandruff.Steven Pressfield in The War of Art

99% of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieveing great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery
Next time people steal your ideas or copy your concepts, be proud!
People using your ways and methods is the highest form of compliment you will ever get!
