If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.

Do you like yourself?
Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have.
Doris Mortman
You should like who you are and what you are interested in. As long as you are ashamed of yourself, you won’t find happiness anywhere, especially not in material goods.

Confidence for everybody
To grow and know that one is growing towards – that is the source of all strength and confidence in life.
James Baillie
The good thing about confidence gained through progress is that it starts early and keeps getting stronger.
You gain confidence not by being the best or being extremely skilled at something, but at getting better at something. Progress equals gaining confidence.
Pick whatever hobby you like and work on your skills, your confidence will boost! Confidence is about knowing that you are actually working on becoming a better person, it is not based on being the perfect person.

Choice
We each have a choice: To approach life as a creator or a critic, a lover or a hater, a giver or a taker.

Seize the day
People wait all week for friday,
all year for summer,
all life for happiness.
Why wait for good things to happen?
Instead, rather make them happen! Earn what you want to have, gain what you desire!

About learning
As some of you may know, I am currently working on becoming a great learner and I found this to be very true:
Learning gives creativity, Creativity leads to thinking, Thinking provides knowledge, Knowledge makes you great.

You are responsible
If you want to succeed in the world must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until some one comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.
John B. Gough
This is your life and you are the captain.
While you wait for opportunities to knock at your door, others are making fortunes and living happy lifes. Think about what you want in life and then go out there and GO GET IT!
No arguments needed, simply start gaining what you want to have.

Get your hands dirty!
You cannot plough a field by
turning it over in your mind.
Yup, thinking is good. It’s great, I’d even say it is awesome!
I love to think.
Nontheless, there are a lot of things that just wont be accomplished by thinking alone.
Knowing the best fitness routine isn’t going to cut it, you have to get sweaty.
Knowing the easiest and fastest way to clean your apartment is not enough, you must apply!
Do not be lazy!

The essence of choice
You have no choice about your capacity to feel that something is good for you or evil, but what you will consider good or evil, what will give you joy or pain, what you will love or hate, desire or fear, depends on you standard of value. Emotions are inherent in you nature, but their content is dictated by your mind. Your emotional capacity is an empty motor, and you values are the fuel with which your mind fills it. If you choose a mix of contradictions, it will clog you motor, corrode your transmission and wreck you on your first attempt to move with a machine, which you, the driver, have corrupted.
John Galt, in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged
This is a perfect post for today. Why? Because it is an awesome post and it contains a lot of basic and profound ideas that lie behind this blog.
You decide on who you are, what you can achieve, how you are percieved, if you are happy. You decide about your life. Do not seek fault in others, do not look for scapegoats. Instead look for solutions, look for work-arounds, make this world a better place.
Stop complaining, start improving. And better start with yourself, that’s where we all can improve the most!
And today I celebrate. I celebrate the 1000st post on motivatingdaily.com!
