You are an explorer

You are an explorer! Your mission is to document and observe the world around you as if you’ve never seen it before. Take notes. Collect things you find on your travels. Document your findings. Notice patterns. Copy. Trace. Focus on one thing at a time. Record what you are drawn to.

Every now and then you should check if you can still amaze yourself by taking a close look at the world around you…

Use the powerfunction of your brain!

Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.

Jim Rohn

That’s the magic in being a human. You can be happy and still strive for something better at the same time. You would be a fool if you did not use this power function of your brain!

How to succeed

Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard, then succeed on purpose.

G.K. Nielson

It is not about talent, about having family money or being born in a certain city.

Success is about your inside, about youd mind and your soul. If you WANT success, if you are craving for success more than you crave for nothing else, then you will work hard in order to achieve it.

I can’t stress enough that behind all those “over night”-successes always lies a lot of hard work in the first place. Hard work is not often seen by the viewers and that is why success in general is often seen as a miracle, unfair distributed between all people.

Guess what? It is up to you to take your slice of the success-cake, the harder you work, the bigger it will be!

How to avoid regrets

Do the right thing. You know what the right thing is. Do the right thing, and you’ll never have any regrets.

Redoran Guard, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Inside yourself you know what the right thing to do is.

You don’t even have to think about it, you know it.

It can be chosing hard work over labour, it can be chosing having a hard talk over running away or whatever it is for you personally.

But you know what is right, so go and do it!

The weight of discipline is by far less than the weight of regret!

Think about your spending habits

Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.

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!

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!
