Don’t try to be better than the rest

You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims.

Harriet Woods

Life is not always a race against other people. What should matter to you is self-improvement. Ask yourself every day: Am I a better man than I was yesterday? If you can answer with yes, you are doing all right, no matter how slow the speed or how gloriously awesome other people may be. If the answer is no on the other hand you should try to improve, take your eyes of the others and just focus on your tasks at hand.

You would be suprised how far it gets you to just stop comparing yourself to others but just trying to get gradually better at what you love.

A fool despises good counsel, but a wise man takes it to heart.

Confucius

Don’t be one of those critique-hating fools that can’t take any counsel. Be happy that other people are trying to help you. And even if they are not, even if they just give advice for the sake of criticizing, take the best out of it. Make use of every ounce of counsel you get!

Is your life interesting?

Imagine your life was a book, everyday of your life is a page and every chapter is your age. Many desire to have a really long book but very few choose to make it interesting. At the current conclusion of your own book, I ask you this “Would you truly pick it up and read it

Are you really living a life or are you merely existing? If it is the latter you have to step up your game! Find a job you love, find hobbies to be good at, find friends that are worth being called friends, live a life worth reading!

We must travel in the direction of our fear.

John Berryman

This can’t be stressed enough, you always have to expand your comfort zone. Don’t think about it, just go for it. Embrace your fear and get to know it, there will be no bigger enemy in your life.

Think big. Dream bigger. Live biggest.
Refuse to accept any reality smaller than you are. For you are a caravan of potentials, a bazaar of possibilities, a world within a world of wonders.

GET UP AND GET STARTED!

So this post is one hour early. The first post in over a year to be not on time. Why you ask?

Well as you know I always liked the topic of sleep / getting up early. Lately I stumbled upon this great sports motivation video that really shouted in my face: You can do it!

So, don’t listen to your sleepyhead telling you to go back to sleep. Hit that asshole with a frying pan (or whatever lies next to your bed), get up and get going! You can do it!

Be too busy to have time for regrets.

Angela Wright

Too much thinking about your life is always bad. Because time spent reflecting is time you are not using to make new experiences and memories. After a while the thinking and reflecting will have consumed so much time that you have no new things, that change dies and you won’t be happy.

Just do stuff instead, find meaningful and passionate hobbies and work in a field that you love.
