Just go for it!

Everybody knows if you are too careful you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something.

Gertrude Stein

If everbody really knew this, that’d be great!

Sometimes you just have to go for it, trust me.

Obstacles?

Rocks on the Road? Store them all, one day you will build a castle.

It’s all about attitude! What is an obstacle for the pessimist is an opportunity for the optimist.

Being still

Being still and doing nothing are two different things.

Karate Kid

I recommend that you train to be still, it is worth the amount of time you have to invest.

Call it being still, relaxing, meditating, whatever you want, as long as you give it a shot.

Let’s be grateful

Grateful for my sore muscles today; it means my body is healthy and strong enough to endure physical challenges.

Grateful for my slight headache today; it means I have an abundance of friends with whom I make beatiful memories.

Grateful for the stacks of work in front if me; it means I am capable of being productive and earning a living.

Grateful for the blazing sun today; it means I can feel warmth on my skin, light in my eyes and thus, I am alive.

There is always something to be grateful for. Even things that seem to be negative on first sight, might turn out in a much better way than expected.

Learn to see the good things about everything, it is one of the skills that actually matter.

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!

Some sports motivation

Definitely also applicable in other parts of your life:

Lose as if you like it; win as if you were used to it.

Put yourself first!

What does it really mean to put yourself first? It means liking yourself. It means trusting yourself. It means not bossing yourself around, because if you’re bossing yourself aroung, it’s the boss, not you, who comes first. It means taking care of yourself, in every sense of the word.

Follow your dreams

If you don’t build your dream someone will hire you to build theirs.

Start today, and never stop!

Doing nothing won’t get you anywhere

Learning is like rowing upsteam: Not to advance is to drop back.

Time is (more than) money

One realizes the full importance of time only when there is little of it left. Every man’s greatest capital asset is his unexpired years of productive life.
