Promise me you’ll always remember that you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh
Never ever underestimate yourself. You set your own limits and therefore underestimating your powers is like cutting them.
As long as you live with a limited set of beliefs you will never reach your full potential. Dream big, believe in your greatness!

We spend our whole lives holding back.
Imagine how quickly you can succeed if you just take what you want.
Dennis Rogers – Far Cry 3
Think about it, everyone is holding back so damn often. Several times a day you make compromises, you are polite, you do not won’t to offend people, you do not want to stress people.
What if you just took what you wanted? Well, chances are you’d get it!
While it is totally normal to be holding back from time to time for reasons of politeness or simply because you care it is also very important and I encourage you to just take what you want from time to time. You have to learn that noone really gifts you anything for no reason.
Asking nicely often times is enough reason, just be bold and take what you want!

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

People sometimes think that competitions are won when they are held but in many cases that is wrong. Without preparations noone will win any competition or event.
If you carefully consider how and how well every participant is prepared you can get a pretty accurate picture of who is going to win.
The problem is that during preparation you do not get rewards. You work your ass of for the possible but not granted success. So believe in your success, trust your abilities and push through preparations!

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.
William James
It is true is it not?
That one damned task that you reschedule on a daily basis, it is there in your head, torturing you, killing your ability to fully enjoy anything.
You can get rid of it, you have the power to do so.
Just get it over with.
Start working on it, the rest will come easily, just get started and see where it takes you!

The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.
Don Shula
Something went wrong? Better look for a scapegoat right?
Wrong!
You either take responsibility and fix it or at least you try to help fixing it.
Who cares who is to blame? Problems are not solved by finding fault, they are solved by being fixed.

Okay I may have exaggerated, do not take this too literally, but there are many aspects of a tree that we could use very well:
Stand out tall and proud
Go out on a limb
Remember your roots
Drink plenty of water
Be content with your natural beauty
Enjoy the view

Who is responsible for your misery/luck? Fate? Well maybe fate or some greater power controlls circumstances but you control everything else!
I don’t control life but I control how I react to it.
Macklemore
It is very important to understand that your mental state defines wether you are in a happy or in a sad place.
Be happy, consciously decide to be happy!

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.
Ken Keyes
You can not simply blame other people for being rude or selfish.
Walk around the world and spread kindness, joy and happiness and you will be payed back hundreds of times.

To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole
While mere education may bring you a steady income or even financial wealth in a long-term it will most certainly fail to bring you happiness and satisfaction.
Use your brains, think and question. Do not be stupid.
