Choose happiness! [image]

choicesEvery choice you make affects your life way more than circumstances do. Life can not feel good as long as you choose to actively ignore it’s perks.

Choose happiness every day and look on the bright side of life!

Figuring out the right things to want [picture]

A friend recently shared this gem with me, absolutely awesome:

It is key to figure out just what you want out of life. You have this one life and I think many of you will find themselves in an sea of endless opportunities. Think about what you really want, about your priorities. Then get started!

Make choices [picture]

I used to walk into a room full of people and wonder if they liked me…

Now I look around and wonder if I like them.

It is important to make your mind up about who you want to hang around with.

The people closest to you have the greates influence on your character, you should choose them wisely. It is not your job to please everybody, nor is it your job to please random people.

First thing: Please yourself by being yourself. Become comfortable with who you are or form your character untill you are comfortable and content with who you are and what you stand for. Then you can decide wether you like people or not on your own standards.

This is how you should determine who to hang out with and whose words to listen to. Don’t let others dictate your behaviour but make conscious choices and listen only to the word of people you respect and trust for good reasons.

He who tries to please everybody will never succeed and loose his integrity as well as his happiness along the way.

It’s about your reaction

Bottom line is, even if you see ’em coming, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can’t help that. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That’s when you find out who you are.

Are you mature enough?

Maturity comes when you stop making excuses and start making changes.

Rafiki, The Lion King

Excuses are the easy way out.

Everybody can find excuses for anything. Excuses not to work out, not to get up early, not to eat healthy; excuses are the little devils on your shoulder that make your life easy in the short-term and miserable in the long-term.

Maturity is to realise that in order to achieve long-term success, you have to work hard and sometimes make unpleasant choices in the short-term. No pain no gain goes the saying and that’s damn straight when it comes to any form of achievement in the real world.

So get the excuse-automatism out of your head and start being responsible (at least for yourself). It will be rough in the beginning, but what can I say, you will reap what you sow!

What I’ve learned in business

Always take a job that is too big for you.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

Just do it!

You will learn more and faster this way, you will grow with your tasks and you will not regret it.

Always go for the big ones!

Chose wisely

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.

What is your attitude?

Your philosophy determines whether you will go for the disciplines or continue the errors.

Jim Rohn

Have you decided to go for the discipline?

I hope so and if you are reading this it is likely.

So enjoy the comforting and nice feeling of having done tasks in a disciplined manner over the succumbing thougts of regret.
