Act now!
The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.
´
You have the same power in this world as everyone else. You can do what everyone else does.
You have to realise that all your role models like stars or business men that you admire are just normal people to begin with!
You can do what they can, just start. Stop having a “when a happens, I can start with b”-attitude and start having the “I start with (insert anything) right now!”. There will be a way, trust me!

Get rest
Work eight hours and sleep eight hours and make sure that they are not the same hours.
Boone Pickens
Well I certainly disagree with the 8 hours especially as a gerneal rule but it is important to keep your sleep free from distractions. Try to meditate before your sleep or keep a notepad at your bed so you don’t have to remember ideas but instead just write them down.
You have to protect your sleep. Good sleep is not a matter of time. You won’t feel more rested after 11 hours of lousy sleep than after a refreshing 5 hour badass sleep!
Trust me, sleep is a state where you don’t want any distractions, you want to have your mind cleared before you go to bed. Learn to do that and it will increase your life quality immensely!

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

What’s with that attitude?
It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.
Dalai Lama
It all comes from the inside, remember that!

Again: Make mistakes!
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett
This is one of the most fundamental lessons of motivation in my eyes.
Make mistakes! Make a lot of them and enjoy every single one.
Making no mistakes should never be the aim for not making mistake involving not trying anything new. I pitty the people who never make mistakes for making mistakes is one the best things people can do in their free time.

Can you help out with some solutions?
If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

An idea of work
When you think about work you should not think about something negative.
Your work should complete you as a person, it should embody your ideas and ideals.
Phil
I hate it when people start like “Meeeh, have to go to work again tommorow.”
I can understand when people have a little day-job just to get some bucks in order to support their real ideas of work. When they work in order to gain support for other plans, because, well, money is important after all.
But the attitude that you work in order to earn money to have a nice free time is just bullshit!
You want to tell me that you have to be bored or stressed out 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, just to have the so called freedom to do what you want? If that is your idea of freedom than you are a sad excuse for a human being.
Freedom is doing whatever you love for your living. It is this because only when you love what you are doing you can truly be excellent. You have to embrace your work, you have to fullfill your dreams with your work.
Work is not at all a negative term. I love that I have work to to, I easily get bored when I can’t work towards my dreams. I know that it is not like this with everyone but noone should hate their work. If you don’t like your job, quit!
Again, I do not talk about side-jobs to earn some extra pocket money, I talk about jobs that finance your life.
Everybody can do what he dreams of, you just have to have the courage to dig through a lot of tough shit in order to get there. But believe me: It is worth it! Keep digging, we’ll meet at the other side 😉

Why not?
If you have to question wether you do something or not,
you should not ask why but rather why not.
Phil
I just learned something about the career of Lena Meyer-Landrut. For those of you who don’t know her, she won the Eurovision Song Contest some time ago and became an over-night popstar in an instant. I don’t want to go into the topic of music or pop music, I don’t want to talk about taste or preferences.
What I do want to talk about is this: Before she started in that show, she never had anything to do with professional music. Neither did she play an instrument nor did she ever take singing lessons. You know why she attended the casting? She though: Why not, let’s try something new!
And now look where that attitude has brought her!
Again, I don’t want to rate the quality of her success, I just want to show you how you can impressively expand your possibilities just by applying the “why not”-attitude.
You can do it!

To never get it wrong
Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they never get it wrong.
Despite being sport-related this quote is important to everyone!
Think about it: When you learn for something or train for something, what is your goal? Your goal is to get it right. That is a good goal, but it does not help much because when someone asks you if you could you do it, you will hestitate and think to yourself: “Hmm I’ve done it once, but can I do it now? Here? In front of people?” BAM! You lost. Right there.
That is why pros train for never getting it wrong! That’s when you know you get it right every damn time and you can proudly say: “I can do that!”
This should be your goal!
