It’s about ambition

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with. A man is what he makes of himself.

Alexander Graham Bell

Character is formed by habit and habit is formed by ambition.

Think about who you want to become and act accordingly.

In case no one told you, it’s okay to be weird. (And the best people usually are)

You are responsible

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

Les Brown

It is up to you to decide who you are and what kind of life you are living.

Sometimes it helps to think of life as a game. Compare it with role-playing games for example, where you get to choose your character traits and adjust your behaviour accordingly to your beliefs.

Why not to that in real life? Yes, there are difference, but let’s focus on the similarities for now: You can decide who you want to be and you can shape this person according to your likings and beliefs.

This is a huge advantage but also comes with a lot of responsibility.

You have to realise that you have this responsibility and you have to act accordingly. Remember:

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much

With this in mind, enjoy your week!

Being yourself

Change

You don’t change yourself. You change how you do things. You have to make your own way.

Change comes from stability

The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value.
