Stand for your ideals, share your opinion

A “No” uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a “Yes” merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

Gandhi

You do have ideals and opinions, don’t you?

Good, get them out there! It is not about being right all the time, it is about saying what you think and exposing your ideas to criticism. This will make them grow as they get better day by day.

Make use of your life

I want to be all used up when I die.

George Bernard Shaw

You don’t want to waste your life by not wasting it.

You want to die knowing that you could not have done that much more, knowing that you could not have had that much more fun.

When you die you should feel that your life was awesome, exciting and exhausting.

Don’t stop

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Seize the fucking day!

You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way!

Dr Seuss

There has to be something you wanted to do, something you always though about like ‘Yeah, I’ll do that some day’

Do it today! Start it today! Go for it!

Do what you want!

I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.

Muhammad Ali

You can think of Ali whatever you want, he might not have been the best person. But he got that one straight: Be who you want to be and do what you want to do!

Nobody should stop you from pursuing your dreams and once you realize this you’ll be able to achieve more than you ever felt capable of.

Oprah Winfrey

Get it started!

What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You know the saying: One year from now on you will wish you had started today!

Just begin, whatever it may be. It does not matter how small the first step is, but take it!

Have no fear

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make a mistake.

Elbert Hubbard

Constantly fearing to make a mistake will eventually push you into making the biggest mistake of all which is not doing anything. By doing nothing you become nothing and there’s nothing wrong about failing.

You are human, you are not supposed to know anything! Life is about learning and learning means being overwhelmed and then working your way through.

Be not afraid for life consists of mistakes! Go out there and enjoy them. Like I always say: Fail, try again, fail better!

About your attitude…

Nothing can STOP the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can HELP the man with the wrong mental attitude.

Thomas Jefferson

It’s all about your mental attitude. Stop whining and don’t hope for other people’s help if your mind ist just fucked up.

Nobody can help you – no matter how great the effort may be – as long as you do not let them. Try nurturing a pet that has just decided not to eat any more without inflicting pain. It won’t work!

So get your head straight and problems will vanish or even better they won’t appear to begin with.
