What to ask yourself?
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.

Strike thou in swift with all boldness!
I came across this quote some weeks ago and it seemed quite interesting after I read from whom it was quoted 🙂
If the mass of people hesitate to act, strike thou in swift with all boldness; the noble heart that understands and seizes quick hold of opportunity can achieve everything.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Start working!
Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them.
Joseph Joubert
You think you have some good ideas? Well I think you are probably right about that, especially if they are crazy as hell. So start working on them untill they become reality! It is your responsibility to bring your dreams into the real world!
Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, began where he stood to put his dream into action, and despite more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality.
PRACTICAL DREAMERS DO NOT QUIT!Napoleon Hill
By the way: D-D-D-D-ouble quote 🙂

Wondering why so many people don’t like your plans?
The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can’t be done.
C. V. White
Don’t be let them demotivate you! In fact, even if people see that you will succeed, some of them won’t let you know that, just because they are envious or they don’t know better.

Motivated by the Reaper
It’s the deathly important which acts as the catalyst for change. You might do a lot of things to get what you want in life, but you’ll do so much more to avoid immediate death.

A strong motivating question!
Hey guys, today I have one of my personal “top 5 motivating things” for you! It is a question, that you ask yourself in situations in which you are not sure wether you should do something or how you should do it. Then you ask:
Will I regret this when I’m 80?
And you picture you, being 80 years old, sitting on a chair, thinking about your life, what you have done, what you have not done, what you should have done and what you should not have done. Would the 80 year old “you” be happy and satisfacted or would it think “Why did I do that?”, “Why this hestitation?” and so on. Usually, when I ask this question, I give myself answers that motivate me to do the harder attempt, to go through the tougher part and especially to do it directly instead of waiting days, months or years before starting.
What is your 80 years old self going to think of your life?
How would YOU change your livestyle if you knew people had only 40 years to live instead of 70, 80 or sometimes even 90+ years?
We always think we have so much time in front of us, so many years, in which we will achieve stuff. But why don’t we try to achieve those things we dream of now? What gives us the feeling, that we should hestitate? I’m too young, I will do this in some years blablabla. Would you act differently if noone, not even you, knew your age? Would you realy live everyday to the fullest and do what you wanted to do? If the answer is yes, then cancel your damn birthday out of every fucking calendar and start living your live now! Believe me, you won’t regret this. Not when you are 80 and not when you are 40. Not tomorrow and not when you are dead!
