It’s not who you are underneath, it’s what you do that defines you

Rachel Dawes

(in Christopher Nolans ‘Batman Begins’)

I’m often confronted with the opinion that the actual ‘me’ is this little guy sitting in ones head. You might also know the situation when you do something you don’t like and actual don’t want to do, you may think “this isn’t really me. Inside me I’m different”.

But ask yourself, who really cares? A personality, you only imagine, isn’t reality. Therefore, if you want do be different: Behave according to who you want to be, and you will become that person.

A word about competition!

Today I deliver you a great quote about competition. But I’m talking ‘real’ competition, not this illusion of competing against other egos in the world:

The principle is competing against yourself. It is about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.

Are you doing enough in order to reach your goals?

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

Confucius

I strongly believe in the fact that NOTHING is impossible. Everyone can achieve everything in his life and that is why you should never let go of your dreams and your goals!

If it seems that you won’t get where you want to get, you don’t have to accept that, you can always adjust the amount of action taken and eventually you will succeed!

Hi there, my first quote is an excerpt from an interview with a guy from Indonesia who has a great attitude towards life

After 7 years being in a wheelchair I’ve done more in the life being in a chair than out of a chair. I still surf, I sail the world, I free dive  after many people said I couldn’t do that; and I think that comes  from connecting with nature, connecting with the energy of life, because we are all disabled in some way on the planet spiritually, mentally or physically, I got the easy part.

Don’t care about measuring, don’t care about hours, about meters, about feet, about speed, about height, just focus on one thing:

Always give your VERY BEST!

Nothing more to add.

A thing about comfort zones

Hey there 🙂

Here’s a nice quote about comfort zones by Dean Hunt

I learned that comfort zones are like muscles, they contract or expand depending on how much you stretch them… I believe very little in life, and business of any real value is done from within our comfort zones. “Money is where the fear is”. Life is too damn short, and when we are lay on our death bed, it is the things we DIDN’T do in life that will plague us, not the things we could have done better.

Check your habits!

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Jim Rohn

This is just how it works out in the end. Excellence is not a state or something you achieve, but habit!

What you repeatedly do is what shapes your life. You’ll become a good runner if you run daily, you’ll become a good writer if you write everyday. Just create the habits you need to get where you want and stick to them!

It is YOUR decision!

What I learned is that all of this is as simple as doing laundry or anything else. 100 times a day you make a choice of what to do: Turn on TV, or book a flight to Iceland? Browse Facebook, or contact your heroes? Relax, or create something new tonight? When you choose the “unrealistic” choice every day, you’ll be surprised how uncrowded and welcoming it is.

Wow! This is so fucking motivating, I can’t find any words to describe it. You probably won’t understand it untill you get to read the first part:

Derek Sivers answered the question what the most unrealistic thing he ever achieved was:

I graduated college in 2 years, started a little company that made me $30,000,000, learned to scuba dive in an arctic lake in Iceland in the deep fissure between the tectonic plates, slept with a movie star, watched Peter Gabriel run up to me to say he loved my work, toured Japan as the guitarist for a Japanese pop star, made friends with my favorite authors, and married the girl of my dreams. (Most of that was in the last 2 years.)

Again, WOW!
