I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

Don’t search for reasons in the past and don’t think your personality is already defined. Shape it yourself, day by day. That might hurt since you are both the marble and the sculpturer but it is worth the work and the wait.

Always go to bed as a better man than the guy you were when you woke up this morning. Always.
ALWAYS!
This is simple. Don’t compare yourself to others for they are simply no benchmark. They live other lives, have other problems, they are not you.
Compare yourself to your former self and do so every day. If you don’t make progress, stop, take a breath, think about what you want to achieve as a person and human being and START TO BECOME AMAZING!
Everyday a little bit better will bring such an amazing result, you won’t believe it. Always think: Will this matter in one year? And hell yeah, even running one mile will matter in one year, especially if you do it daily.

No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
Edmund Burke
There is no “not enough”, there is no insufficient when it comes to achieving stuff. Starting is the crucial step and then the pace will adjust over time.
Never make the mistake to not start anything awesome because you think you are not capable of it at the moment. Believe me, Obama was not capable of being president when he started in politics, neither was any successful person when he or she started.
You even could not walk when you where born and still you started with the smallest steps possible. And look at you now, you have made an unbelievable great progress just by having started one day.

Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need
Voltaire
Find work in an area that you like. Your work will take a lot of your time so make it as joyful and awesome as possible.

It is only through discipline that we achieve mastery. From mastery comes improvisation, and only through improvisation can we truly create something worth sharing.

I believe one of the most important priorities is to do whatever we do as well as we can.

If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.
John Irving
Many people never find a life worth loving but don’t waste yours!
Find you passion, find things that you love and then carpe the fuck out of the diem! Don’t wait for things to happen, MAKE things happen. Don’t wait for life to get better, MAKE it awesome!
Meet people, make friends, visit places, educate yourself, read, listen to music, enjoy food, party long, work hard, sleep in, get up, live your life!

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.
Zig Ziglar
Cut the crap about being realistic, seeing risks and all that. Yes, sometimes you have to calculate and think about consequences but as soon as you have an idea of what can happen let go of the fear and go for it with a positive attitude!
Nothing destroys a project faster than a negative attitude and talking about problems more than about solutions.

Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.
Julie Andrews
You need to experiment, you need to learn. Why would you succeed at the first time? You did not learn how to walk in one day after all. Learning how to walk is interesting anyway: You started as a toddler and gradually began to walk more upright. During this process you failed a million times, falling on the ground, crying, frustrated. But you kept going because, well, walking, right? And now look at you!
This is just one simple example of how not quitting gets the damn job done, whatever it may be!
Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.
Henry Ford
Failing is a very good teacher. It gives you feedback because you see what you mistakes cause. Next time you know more about the subject and can perform better.
That’s one point that distinguishes amateurs from professionals. Amateurs see mistakes as a flaw, professionals are happy to discover new insights by making mistakes and just train a lot more.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
You don’t have to know about risks and possible outcomes all the time. Sometimes you just go for it, you leap into it.
After all you learn how to swim in the water, not on land.
