Get out there!

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Hellen Keller

Yeah I get it. It is nice and comfy at home right? Yup, it is. I like it at home too. But you won’t grow by browsing the web and relaxing. You grow as a person only through experience so you have to get up and get out!

Do sports, follow your interests, meet new people, just don’t think about your last week like it did not matter. Life is way too awesome to sit around and relax. In the end you wont remember those days when you “slept really long” or “relaxed the whole day”. Think about it. Or better: Don’t think about it, trust me, and GET OUT!

Control yourself

Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you.

Rob Gilbert

Do you have any special behaviour that you don’t like? Any kind of annoying habit that you just want to get rid of? DO IT! GET RID OF IT!

There is a saying that goes

Before 30 you create your habits, after 30 your habits create you

Don’t let bad habits make you a smaller person. Conquer your bad habits and replace them with awesome habits. It may take a while to get used to it but it’s worth the work you put into it!

Get help!

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

Ralph Lauren

Being a leader does not mean doing evertything on your own and being the best at anything. It means to push people to their limits, to get them WANT to push themselves in order to achieve something awesome.

Be that guy! Inspire and motivate your people, get them stoked for your ideas and projects!

Many people never hit their true potential just because there are no leaders around to challenge them to do so, don’t waste all this potential!

It’s about passion!

It is about finding out how you can make money with something you’re good at and you love. Why put up with the struggle to find a way to live like that you ask? Well because it’s damn worth it!

Living the dream means doing what you love and getting paid well for it. Of course being paid well is subjective and money is relative, but you definitely need some bucks to survive so better find seomthing you’re good at in order to make sure that you’ll have something to eat the next day.

Living a live that consists of sucky work-hours just in order to have some money for the precious free time is just a wrong concept. I don’t say it is debatable, I say it is wrong to have that little ambition! Reach for the stars, you just have to be persistent!

Live Love Learn

Antoine Jouet

These three activities have one thing in common besides starting with a “L”. You can’t do enough of it, and the more you live, the more you love and the more you learn the better your life will be…

Get up and get started!

The future depends on what we do in the present.

Mahatma Gandhi

If you have ever thought something along the lines of “Uh nothing has changed, this and that is still like it used to be one year ago” than you should so something about it NOW!

Starting now will give your results and in one year you will wish that you started today!

Set your mind!

Don’t have that conversation with yourself where you say, ‘He’s got more talent than I do,’ or ‘She’s faster than I am.’ Success depends on what’s in your mind. I can tell you that being a boxing champion means more than physically waking up one morning and discovering a muscle or two. It happens from the tip of your toes all the way up to the crown of your head. Success is about your spirit….

George Foreman

I hate talking to people who complain about ‘just not being good enough’. You will never earn as much, look as good, or be as happy as ‘those people’? Well NO, not with that attitude! And now get that shit out of your head once and for all and start being awesome!

Remember being a little child an not different from anyone else? Well you still are as capable as everyone else and you will realise this as soon as you kill that sick ideas in your head that tell you you’re not enough.

You are capable of MUCH more than you can possibly imagine, you just have to take the leap of faith and go for it!

Do one more!

A champion is one who gets up when he can’t.

Jack Dempsey

When you watch Sport stars you might think that training is easy for them right? You might get the idea that pushups just feel natural for them.

Well guess what? Push-Ups kill those people! They kill everyone! And they hate them too. The differnce is: They either don’t care or they have more important things to worry about than their lame-ass heads telling them to be lazy! The difference between the successful ones and the failures is just the motivation to keep on going despite all the reasons against it.

Ali for example stated on several occasions that he hated every single second of his training but he knew that it would pay him back. And it sure did!

If you have a strong mind you will still encounter problems or as I like to say tasks/opportunities. You will just be able to find reasonable solutions and work them out no matter how tough it gets!

Smile!

Are you still reading this? Stop, take a break and SMILE

Okay, smiling is awesome! Smiling is powerfull and amazing. But wait! There is more: Not only does it make you happy instantly (has it just worked?), it makes other people happy!

A simple smile from a stranger can make some persons day! So if you go wander around your city don’t look down, don’t hide, instead smile at people! The worst case that can happen is ignorance and who gives a damn? In 90% of the cases other people will be pleasantly suprised and you helped yourself and some stranger to have a better day.

Just do it 🙂

Be that ‘someone else’

Well, someone will end up doing it

Yup, someone always ends up doing it. Be that person!

Be there when work needs to be done.

Be there when success needs to be achieved.

Do your job, work hard and work whenever you have the possibility to contribute.

Start early, work hard, end late in the night!

Believe me it will bring great results and make you happy!

But be careful not to be everyones bitch, this is not about doing the work that lies in other peoples duty!
