Are you dumb?
Would you say you are dumb? I guess for most people the answer to this question would be a clear no.
Whenever you leave behind failure that means you’re doing better.
If you think everything you’ve done has been great, you’re probably dumb.
Louis CK
Well then live with the fact that you have made and still make a lot of mistakes. Feel comfortable fucking shit up, feel comfortable failing miserably. Failing is learning and learning is the only and therefore fastest, securest and best raod towards success.

Be unrealistic
I think that there is a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have, you have to believe that something different than what has happened for the past 50 million years can happen.
Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity.
What’s the point of being realistic?
It’s unrealistic to walk into a room, flip a switch, and have light come on, but fortunately Edison didn’t think so.
Will Smith
Think outside of the box or get rid of any boy once and for all. Allow yourself to believe whatever you want and think queer.
Be creative, break rules!

Enjyo your free experience points
Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.
Dan Stanford
Being a huge gamer I like to compare life to gaming and when it comes to not getting what you wanted or failing this comparison works really well.
In a game when you get something that you did not want in the first place, you are happy either way for some new experience and try again. You know that you have gotten better by trying and that every step you took gave you precious experience points that enhanced your skills.
Therefore gamers learn the valuable lesson that progress does not necessarily mean getting exactly what you want. Bear that in mind and enjoy the ride 🙂

I worte in the about-part that you should recommend this blog if you like it and mention to me all things you don’t like. Today I don’t want to beg for advertisement and shares, I want your honest opinion!

Start doing something right now!
Inspiration does not come to those who wait for it, it finds those who act.
This principle is so damn important! Literally 10 minutes ago I sat in front of my computer, being mindless, doing nothing. Hell, I was not even browsing reddit for stupid pictures, I was literally doing nothing at all.
It was not that I had nothing to do. New, awesome video games, a new vinyl, new interesting books, taking a jog, watching a good movie, writing an article, I was even too lazy to eat.
I had no motivation to do anything and was sitting there, thinking “Just wait, in some minutes you will be inspired and motivated again. You will pick something and do it.”
But guess what? That did not happen! Instead I remembered this important lesson that I had to repeat often times before believing it: In order to get motivated for action you have to act first. Sounds stupid, but works! If you feel unmotivated and without power you just stand up and do something! Start cleaning your apartment, do your laundry, do push-ups, take a shower, anything really! Just don’t sit there and do nothing at all.
Why waste your time when you could do awesome stuff? This post is not about not relaxing, don’t get me wrong. But there is a big difference between relaxing and being lazy and getting nothing done. Relaxing is something active that kicks ass and is fun. Being lazy and getting nothing done is just a stupid waste of time.
So maybe I had the luck to catch you in a moment of unproductivity and this was your wake-up call. By the way: I recently realised that many of you read my posts in the morning while still in bed or sleepy. For those of you: Don’t even think about going back into your warm and cozy dreamland, get up and get going pal!

Embrace life
Let life happen to you. Believe me, life is in the right, always.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Sometimes people say stuff like “This is unfair” or “I don’t deserve this, life sucks”. I don’t like those sayings. Life is not unfair. Life is life. You can make anything out of it so stop blaming “life” on your misery and start taking responsibility.
Giving something universal like life the fault for anything is plain stupid and a bad excuse for being lazy. Instead embrace life, enjoy things even if they don’t go according to plan and laugh about confusion.
