The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
Walt Disney
While planning is a great thing to do you should not brag about your plans all day long. Don’t waste your time with daydreaming and talking about your ideas and plans while you could be busy achieving what you want.
Get up, get active! Start working on your dreams right now and don’t delay anymore.

Being educated by books will only get you so far in a fight. If you don’t practice what you have learned, even a child can bring you to your knees. Just ask the man who was kicked in the groin by his tottler.
A while ago I wrote something on the topic of theoretical learning vs. practical learning and how important it is to actually practise.
It is important to remember that reading is great but does not bring you half as far as really learning something. You have to apply your knowledge to make it stick to your brain and to make good use of it in the first place. So don’t make the mistake of reading ten books about fitness before you go out for a run!

Do what you love, love what you do, and deliver more than you promise.
Harvey Mackay
Suprise people by doing your job passionately and by doing more than expected. People often don’t like working and just see it as a way to gain money, so you will stand out if you love your job and that will show!

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Ambrose Redmoon
Fear is natural and a good thing. Everybody has fear and everybody has a lot of fear.
Not giving a fuck – lunch-style
Fear is like a human being always yelling at you before you make something dangerous. You can run away scared or make the deliberate decision that this fear-guy has to shut up for a minute because you need to kick some ass!

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered
Aeschylus
You should give your friends respect and honour their accomplishments. Don’t envy their achievements but rather compliment them while working on your own. It is great that they succeed, you should support and enjoy that. What is more cool than having happy and successful friends?
Don’t destroy their success with envy and don’t suck the fun out of sharing achievements with close friends and family.
You will be suprised how much more awesome it feels when you can be happy with and for your friends rather than sitting in the dark corner and thinking fun-consuming thoughts about why they succeeded and you did not.

You only live once? Well I tend to disagree and this webcomic displays perfectly why:
So go out and do what you love and do it well. Start with one skill set, master it, then move on.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being happy and satisfied is something that happens inside your head, not something that comes from somewhere out there in the world.
Tell yourself that the world is awesome and you will realize that in fact it truly is! Just believe how amazing your life is and you will be way more satisfied with your situation.
When you wake up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror and genuinely smile! It will make you laugh, because it feels strange to smile at yourself for no reason and laughing is the best way to start the day! 🙂

Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.
Victoria Holt
Don’t dwell in the past and think about your mistakes. This simple quote should remind you of what is important in life. Making stuff happen. Mistakes also happen, don’t worry too much.

Few things are harder to put up with than a good example.
Mark Twain
Just live an awesome life. Don’t brag about it, don’t teach other people lessons, don’t criticize too much, instead just have fun and be a fun person.
That will actually motivate others a lot more to be awesome and give them way more to think about than stupid talks about a good moral attitude or lifestyle.
