Let’s talk about fear

Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Ambrose Redmoon

You know the drill. EVERYONE has fears. Everyone is scared and everyone is limited in his own way.

That is why you have to learn how to work with your fear instead of trying to get rid of it. You will always experience fear, no matter what. Important is that you know this: Fear is just your brain telling you to be cautious. When you approach new areas of life, when you tackle different situations, it is new to you, you have to get used to it.

Use your fear as a motivator, as a stimulator. Embrace it and be happy about it, because it makes you human and it shows you that what you are doing at that moment is real!

Don’t ever whish for a life without fear for that would probably be the most boring life ever. Life is what happens OUT of your damn comfort zone so get your head out of your ass, go out there and have some goddamn fun!

Enjoy the weekend,

What you need in order to be happy

Give me the serenity to accept things that I can’t change.

Give me the courage to change things that I can change

Give me the wisdom to distinguish between those two.

Philipp Kleidt

You have to accept that you don’t have control over your life!

There are so many outer circumstances that you can’t do anything about, don’t drive yourself mad. But on the other hand don’t be that passive guy that thinks the universe has everything planned out.

Be wise enough to chose when to take action and when to remain calm and happy.

Smile!

This is an amazing video about validation and happiness.

Take the time to watch it, it’s worth it!

Always remember: People constantly strive for validation and often an unexpected compliment can make someones day or week! Make this world a better place by letting people know how great they are!

Don’t go to hard on yourself

When all is said and done, success without happiness is the worst kind of failure.

Louis Binstock

Working is a good thing.

But do not go to hard on yourself! Work is not everything and you should have time for friends, family and fun!

Don’t regret not having enjoyed life!

Smile!

Smile!

It confuses people.

Honestly, just smile.

Why not? Smile at strangers, smile at friends, just smile 🙂

Get your work done!

Life is not all about shining in your great moments.

In order to shine in your great moments you have to work in your darkest hours. So don’t let your guard down and work, no matter what is going on!

You can’t get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.

Like yourself!

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Maya Angelou

In my experience people tend to be too strict with themselves.

Especially people who are into self-improvement are often very self-concerned and say stuff like “I don’t like myself at the moment, I’m too lazy, to undisciplined, whatever.”

They think they have to behave according to their ideals, and therefore intrerpret the difference between ideal and reality as a lack of their own skill or quality.

The point is: Improving is more important than being the best! Self-Improvement and this whole motivation-branch is about improving your life every day, not about living the perfect life.

Therefore you have to forgive yourself, you have to like yourself and your life. In the end, who is going to like you, if you can’t like you for yourself?

Being happy with what you got and realizing that you, at this moment, are an awesome person, that is what it is all about. Work on that and everything else will be taken care of!

Have a nice day,
