The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
Ernest Hemingway
Sometimes life takes its toll on you, but do not worry. Keep going, keep going strong and keep smiling!

This sports motivation video contains great advice for anybody and speaks directly out of my soul. There are burning reasons within everyone to get up early, to train hard, work hard, do whatever one loves. You just have to find them and trust your gut.
Even more important is to mute your inner voice of automated excuses. Yes, your brain will find excuses for everything, always. Yes, they seem plausible on the first glance. No, they are not. They are distractions, obstacles that you have to overcome in order to get where you want to go!
The choice between the comfortable and the right thing to do is not always easy, but it gets easier with time. You can train discipline. No more excuses, start your training today!
The brick walls are there for a reason.
The brick walls are not there to keep us out.
The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough.
They are there to stop the other people.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear.
Jack Canfield
The more you move out of your comfort zone, the more rewarding your efforts will be. Leave your fear behind, give yourself a little push every now and then and experience true freedom – realising that fear is just your brain telling you to be careful!

When we accept tough jobs as a challenge to our ability and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm, miracles can happen. When we do our work with a dynamic conquering spirit, we get things done.
Gilbert Arland
Work is not torture, obstacles are not some sort of bad fate.
Work and obstacles give you challenges to overcome, riddles to solve. Take them on and you will be rewarded in many ways.

If you are doing your best, you will not have time to worry about failure.
Robert Hillyer
This is an important one!
As long as you keep yourself busy with working towards your dreams and goals, you have no time for worries or problems. Once they occur, you are already making plans to overcome them.
That is the state of mind you want to find yourself in, get started right now!

Rocks on the Road? Store them all, one day you will build a castle.
It’s all about attitude! What is an obstacle for the pessimist is an opportunity for the optimist.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
Henry Ford
This is why you have to know your goals well.
Think about them a lot, have a clear picture of them in your mind.
Blurry goals make you easily distracted while clear and strong goals keep you focused and motivated.

Okay, this blog is awesome! I say this not because I am arrogant but because I know it. I read it myself and I know many people that are motivated by it, including myself.
But that does not mean that it is perfect. In fact it is far from perfect and I want to go there so I need your help!
I worte in the about-part that you should recommend this blog if you like it and mention to me all things you don’t like. Today I don’t want to beg for advertisement and shares, I want your honest opinion!
Please feel free to write me emails or leave comments under this post. I appreciate your criticism and I really take it seriously! 🙂
