Inner strength

If an egg is broken by and outside force, life ends.

If an egg is broken by an inside force, then life begins.

Great things happen from the inside.

Start living

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

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!

Looking back

Will you look back on life and say, “I wish I had,” or “I’m glad I did

You get what you give

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Be alive!

When you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

Enjoy the detours

It’s worth recognizing that there is no such thing as an overnight success. You will do well to cultivate the resources in yourself that bring you happiness outside of success or failure. The truth is, most of us discover where we are headed when we arrive. At that time, we turn around and say, yes, this is obviously where I was going all along. It’s a good idea to try to enjoy the scenery on the detours, because you’ll probably take a few.
