Have goals and plans

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

Albert Einstein

People come and go.

You make friends, you loose friends, people move away, even die.

But abstract ideals, goals, moral values, all those things stay with you as long as you want them to.

Have important, personal and big goals and back them up with definite plans. Have a vision where you want to be in 10 years and work on this vision. Never stop dreaming and working on your dreams, it will keep you sane and happy!

How to get from A to B

How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal, and you have to be willing to work on it.

Are you busy?

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

Henry David Thoreau

What are you doing in order to achieve your goals?

Are you actually doing something about it or do you merely dream about achieveing your goals and let your daydreaming distract you?

There is a reason, the word is called ‘business’!

Get started, do your work!

Hard Work -> No Limits

There will be obstacles.

There will be doubts.

There will be mistakes.

But with hard work,

there are no limits.

The ambivalence of happiness

Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.

Jim Rohn

I love this quote!

This is the essential thought in the pursuit of happiness.

Always reach for the stars, but do not make the mistake of seeing them as requirement to happiness. Combine modest gratitude with eager ambition. Be able to enjoy and at the same time crave for more!

Dragged back?

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.

Check your direction every now and then

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

To never get it wrong

Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they never get it wrong.

Despite being sport-related this quote is important to everyone!

Think about it: When you learn for something or train for something, what is your goal? Your goal is to get it right. That is a good goal, but it does not help much because when someone asks you if you could you do it, you will hestitate and think to yourself: “Hmm I’ve done it once, but can I do it now? Here? In front of people?” BAM! You lost. Right there.

That is why pros train for never getting it wrong! That’s when you know you get it right every damn time and you can proudly say: “I can do that!”

This should be your goal!
