Sure, there are million ways to succeed, but in the end every success is in its nature pure freedom:
There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.
Christopher Morley
Succeed in whatever strange way you want to, and you will agree.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
Dale Carnegie
This is a profound fact about success.
As long as you do not enjoy whatever you are doing, you will never be good at it.
Work can fulfill your life, yes. But it is not about the abstract thing ‘work’, but about its content. Work, that you truly love, can fulfill your life.
Remember this important fact and think about your job or your perspective.

Attitudes are more important than facts.
Dr. Karl Menninger
This is so important!
I can’t stress it enough, your attitude determines everything!
Wether you are successful and happy, or a sad failure.
It is all about attitude! Most facts are percieved in many different ways, they are relative.
Make your own reality!

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!

Do you feel confident? Good, continue with your life. If not, you might want to read on.
There is a good chance that you are not confident with yourself or at least with some aspect of your life. The question is how to change this.
The good thing is: Becoming confident is easy!
In order to become confident about anything you have to improve!
It is not about acing every task, it is not about being better than anybody else. It is about being better than you were yesterday. It is about outperforming yourself. That is what boosts human confidence!
Improving is more important than being the best
What good is it to know that you are the best at something? It puts pressure on you, it motivates others. You on the other hand begin to build strong confidence the moment you start training, learning and improving, not when you stop any of those activities.
Actually your mind wants you to improve and that is why it supports you. Even small changes in your life will boost your confidence and increase your happiness Level. You do not have to get from couch potato to medal winner in no time. You just have to start making steps towards your goal.
Everybody has something he or she wants to work on. Start learning by learning small and easy stuff, start cooking by cooking simple dishes, start working out by jogging a little and making some bodyweight-exercises. Start reading some pages a day, then increase slowly. There are hundred ways to improve whatever situation you are in, just don’t make the mistake of thinking “Well it is so easy, what change will it make? I could if I wanted to.” Do not start thinking like this! Just start improving. Confidence and Happiness will come to your life like a moth to a flame, trust me on this one.
Happy improving,

We do not hold the belief that this earth is a realm of misery where man is doomed to destruction. We do not think that tragedy is our natural fate and we do not live in chronic dread of disaster. We do not expect disaster until we have specific reason to expect it – and when we encounter it, we are free to fight it. It is not happiness, but suffering that we consider unnatural. It is not success, but calamity that we regard as the abnormal exception in human life.
Ragnar Danneskjöld from Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged
This mindet is the absolute manifestation of awesomeness.
Life is primarily good! Bad conditions are nothing normal, they are abnormal and have to be fought.

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses
Abraham Lincoln

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are happy or angry, time passes either way. You decide how to spend you life.
