Stay fit!
Think of your body like a machine. It has to be cleaned, oiled and serviced regularly if you want it to perfom well.
You put effort in your car, your flat, your TV screen but you refuse to eat healthy and put in some work regarding fitness? Shame on you!
This is not about everybody becoming a body-builder, but a general level of fitness is a must for every adult. It does not take that much discipline, you just have to get started and continue making your baby steps on a daily basis. Start today and simply DO NOT STOP! Don’t stop at a certain weight, at a certain day, at a certain moment, never stop keeping your body fit and feeling well.

Feeling insecure?
The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.
Steve Furtick
This is a very important thing to understand: Everyone struggles, everyone has their own problems. Some people have more problems, some have less, but everyone fights their own battles.
Don’t make the mistake to think that people just live awesome lifes without problems while you have so much things to work on. Especially in our social media generation we present ourselves on Facebook, Twitter and Co. with the best of our lifes.
We post pictures of holidays, parties, quote fun things, plan events. We don’t write what concerns us, what troubles us. And this is perfectly okay. But it is important for everyone to understand that these images that people build up are not a realistic approach at showing us who they really are.
Do not compare your life to other facebook profiles, that would be as stupid as to compare your life to the one of an imaginary movie character. Take TV Series for example. The characters socialize, party, talk, go out, have fun etc., but you almost never see them working or doing household chores. How boring would a series be if all characters had to work their 9-to-5?
In conclusion I emphasize again: Do not think too bad of yourself, chances are you have a kick-ass life with lots of fun. Everyone has work to do, everyone copes with something. The point that they don’t run around with banners proclaiming that they don’t like their job/sports/partner at the moment does not mean they are satisfied. We are all humans. We have problems, fears, insecurities and we don’t always know what to do and how to do it. Don’t overthink, enjoy your life 🙂

Sleep later
Success and rest don’t sleep together.
Russian Proverb
Yup, human beings need sleep, I know that. But I also know that sleep steals a lot of time. Time you could spend studying, training, working or even enjoying yourself, going out, reading a book etc.
Success needs effort and time so you should not be a person who likes to sleep 10 hours per day if you want to see results (in less than 40 years).
Make it a habit to sleep less then you are used to and work on still being fit anyway. It works, trust me.

Try, fall down, get back up, try again!
Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
George S. Patton
 No matter what profession you work in or what hobbies you have, you will fail in life.
As long as you try out new things and challenge yourself you will have setbacks so what you have to do is get up again every single time. In the end you will see how easy it is to get back up on your feet and how normal and actually not problematic it is to get knocked down in the first place.

Speak less of your plans and get more of them done
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
Walt Disney
While planning is a great thing to do you should not brag about your plans all day long. Don’t waste your time with daydreaming and talking about your ideas and plans while you could be busy achieving what you want.Â
Get up, get active! Start working on your dreams right now and don’t delay anymore.

Practise!
Being educated by books will only get you so far in a fight. If you don’t practice what you have learned, even a child can bring you to your knees. Just ask the man who was kicked in the groin by his tottler.
A while ago I wrote something on the topic of theoretical learning vs. practical learning and how important it is to actually practise.
It is important to remember that reading is great but does not bring you half as far as really learning something. You have to apply your knowledge to make it stick to your brain and to make good use of it in the first place. So don’t make the mistake of reading ten books about fitness before you go out for a run!

Work ethic
Do what you love, love what you do, and deliver more than you promise.
Harvey Mackay
Suprise people by doing your job passionately and by doing more than expected. People often don’t like working and just see it as a way to gain money, so you will stand out if you love your job and that will show!

About courage and fear
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Ambrose Redmoon
Fear is natural and a good thing. Everybody has fear and everybody has a lot of fear.
Not giving a fuck – lunch-style
Fear is your mind telling you to be cautious wich is great. But you have to be able to cope with it. Know that fear is nothing dangerous or something to be afraid of. Use your fear, embrace it and still make rational decisions.
Fear is like a human being always yelling at you before you make something dangerous. You can run away scared or make the deliberate decision that this fear-guy has to shut up for a minute because you need to kick some ass!
