Life starts at the end of your comfort zone

Always do what you are afraid to do.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don’t get me wrong. You should not do bad or stupid stuff.

Sometimes you are afraid for a goddamn reason and you should always be rational about doing scaring stuff.

But in many cases you are afraid although you exactly know that what you are about to do is the right thing.

In this cases: Have courage, pull through! You can do it!

Dream consciously!

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.

Walt Disney

I personally find Walt Disney to be very inspiring and motivating.

This guy single handedly started a whole era of awesomeness and without him our childhoods would not have been the same.

This guy believed in his dreams and pulled it off.

Will you believe in your dreams too?

Keep an eye on your money

It’s easier to get into debt than it is to get out of debt.

Clifford Kidd

This sounds very mundane but is in fact a very important thing to be aware of!

Never get into debt as long as you have the choice!

Fighting yourself out of debt sucks as hell and it is a pain in the ass to pay off your debts, it is a pain to know that every month you work for someone else and not into your own bank account.

Believe me, I’ve been there, you do not want to be in debt!

Stay positive and keep your account balance positive!

Start today!

By taking a single step you’ve already outperformed millions of people who’ve made excuses.

Start today -whatever it may be- and be proud tommorow.

You’ll harvest in the future what you plant in the present, always remember this!

In it for the money?

 You reach a point where you don’t work for money.

Walt Disney

Money can only bring you so far before it won’t be fun anymore.

There will be a point where you start working for your own pleasure, where you do not see work as a duty or as a pain.

Work will be your hobby and you will love it.

But bear in mind: In order for this to happen you need to have a positive mindset about work. Allow your work to affect you in a positive way. As long as you go to your office or place of work with thoughts along the lines of ‘Meh, I hate this job’, you won’t achieve any of those effects.

Dragged back?

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.

Mindset!

We are all bound by chains. These chains have a name. The first is fear. The second is doubt. What separates warriors from non-coms, men from boys is the recognition that these chains are not on ou wrists or ankles, but in our mind. And we have only to deny them their power, to break them and be free.

For the people in school/college/university/any learning environment

I did not come to college to complain about finals, I came to kick their ass.

Random tweet

Well this is an attitude I can admire. 

This is what you got to work with!

Kick ass in every situation, always be prepared for awesomeeness! Life wants you to rock it, do not hold back!

Do not underestimate yourself

Promise me you’ll always remember that you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh

Never ever underestimate yourself. You set your own limits and therefore underestimating your powers is like cutting them.

As long as you live with a limited set of beliefs you will never reach your full potential. Dream big, believe in your greatness!

Take what you want!

We spend our whole lives holding back.

Imagine how quickly you can succeed if you just take what you want.

Dennis Rogers – Far Cry 3

Think about it, everyone is holding back so damn often. Several times a day you make compromises, you are polite, you do not won’t to offend people, you do not want to stress people.

What if you just took what you wanted? Well, chances are you’d get it!

While it is totally normal to be holding back from time to time for reasons of politeness or simply because you care it is also very important and I encourage you to just take what you want from time to time. You have to learn that noone really gifts you anything for no reason.

Asking nicely often times is enough reason, just be bold and take what you want!
