How to live

I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I’ve lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.

John Steinbeck

Live! Honestly, live life to the fullest!

Don’t try to be perfect, don’t waste your time thinking about what if. Things come and go, Times change and there are times to rest and times to wort. Don’t worry too much, just be true to yourself and happy.

Start small if you have to but start!

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

Vincent van Gogh

Always keep in mind that tasks can be broken down into small pieces.

Never say there is a task too hard or too big for you! Just start making small steps towards your goal and eventually you will get there, trust me!

Just go for it!

Unless you’re willing to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won’t happen.

Phillip Adams

You have to be prepared to fail and you have to take this risk willingly!

You will get knocked down often if you are doing it right, but only by this you can learn and grow!

So who do you hang out with?

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

Epictetus

It is very important to keep people around you that challenge you to be a better person.

People that challenge you to be the best you possibly can be!

There is a saying that tells you that you can get the personality of a person by looking at its three closest friends and there is a lot of truth in this. The people who you constantly spent time with change you in a lot of ways, their behaviour reflects on you and you will eventually be changed by them.

If you keep lazy people around you, people without aims, without dreams, without passion then your dreams will rotten. They will slowly die and it is damn hard to work against that.

So be careful who you hang out with. It really is a game-changer to actively choose your peer group in order to grow. Think about it, think about who you hang out with and see what you get out of that.

Asking little

He who demands little gets it.

Ellen Glasgow

You can understand this quote in two ways.

It can be a claim to be modest on the one hand but on the other hand it warns you from aiming too low. Never do that!
