Good things come with a price

Good things don’t come easy.

Discipline!

Does the day belong to you or do you belong to the day?

Aim high

A goal is not always meant to be reached. It often serves simply as some thing to aim at.

Priorities and a fire burning within

You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage – pleasently, smilingly, nonapelogetically – to say ‘no’ to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger ‘yes’ burning inside.

Take the detours

Establishing goals is all right if you don’t let them deprive you of interesting detours.

Doug Larson

Actually establishing goals is more than all right, it is awesome!

Having both, long term and short term goals keeps you motivated and focused. But it is true that you should not forget the beauty of spontaneous moments because of your strict focus.

Be prepared to take detours, to discover, to enjoy.

How to succeed in anything

There is only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give everything.

Another Milestone! 100k!

Boooooooyaaah!

Let’s recap:

The first 10 000 took me over one year and right now this is the amount of people visiting motivatingdaily every month! Not counting the +500 people that get my mails everyday!

So far, motivatingdaily does not cease to amaze me again and again. On my “Ten Thousand” post, I wrote ‘Let’s hit the 100k’ and although I did believe in that happening, it felt really strange and uncertain to think about that mark.
Now, as I view my stats and see how the views have been growing constantly in the past and still are groing right now, I am looking forward to the 1 millionth vistor on my page soon and let me tell you, it feels great!

Again, thanks to all of you, who subscribed, who visit my page, who post stickers, who comment, like, reblog and recommend, this project would not work without you out there.

Thanks for motivating me to motivate you, you guys are awesome!

So, seriously, LET’S HIT THE 1 000 000! Spread the word, dear followers and readers!

Competition, anyone?

99% of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieveing great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals.

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!
