Excuses

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.

Felix Baumgartner

There are two sorts of people. People who are good at excuses and people who succeed. You chose which side you prefer.

Take your time

Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.

Benajmin Franklin

You do not gain time by saving it (e.g. doing several things at once), you only gain time by taking it. By willingly spending time on tasks.

Enjoy your meal.

Enjoy your reading.

Enjoy whatever you do right now and focus on the tast in front of you. He who rushes through life, misses it.

Perspective

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses

Abraham Lincoln

As always, it is a question of perspective.

You make your own luck!

Hard Work -> No Limits

There will be obstacles.

There will be doubts.

There will be mistakes.

But with hard work,

there are no limits.

The world is a beatiful place

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.

Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe the world to be a beatiful place.

Kurt Vonnegut

As simple as that.

The world is beatiful, never ever lose your trust in that.

There is only one time

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you are happy or angry, time passes either way. You decide how to spend you life.

Skill

Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid.

Thus the wise win before the fight, wile the ignorant fight to win.

O Sensei Ueshiba

Are your excited?

If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.

Steve Jobs

In life it is important to be pulled by dreams and ambitions.

You do not want to be pushed by your boss or debts, you do not want to be forced to do anything. You want to be pulled by happy, encouraging, motivating thoughts.

Therefore you have to discover yourself, find out about your passions and what you love. Once you have done that, everything will fall in place. Just follow your dreams and stick to them. 

In my experience no dream is too big or too extreme. Just be careful of dreaming too small, that is dangerous.

Create your world

Man is not creature of circumstances, Circumstances are creatures of men.
