Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Action and reflection
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

A progressive mind
Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

There’s always something to learn!
We have to abandon the idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How can it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 – and half the things he knows at 40 hadn’t been discovered when he was 20?
Arthur C. Clarke
Nowadays this seems to be more relevant than ever. Living means learning and making progress!

Bruce Lee Week #7: On reaching goals
I consider this one to be mainly a fitness/sports motivation, but you can apply it to many other things also:
Long term consistency beats short term intensity.
Bruce Lee
This is a simple, yet important concept. Doing 10 minutes of pushups or situps every day for 30 days is much better than doing half an hour every sunday for a month. Especially when it comes to training, wether muscle or brain training, it is about consitency and repition.
Progress takes time and the longer you train something, the more profound your knowledge will be in that field. This is why you can learn a language in a year but you won’t be able to master it in that time for example. And this is why discipline is so very important.
We are all used to little boosts of motivation every now and then. Suddenly you want to get fit, you get up early, hit the gym, eath healthy, you change your whole routine. This won’t last long, I can promise it. Instead, make small changes and focus on consistency. Start small, but don’t slack off. You will improve greatly, just be patient!

Make progress!
No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch!
Just get started!

Lend a hand!
You do not make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.

Confidence for everybody
To grow and know that one is growing towards – that is the source of all strength and confidence in life.
James Baillie
The good thing about confidence gained through progress is that it starts early and keeps getting stronger.
You gain confidence not by being the best or being extremely skilled at something, but at getting better at something. Progress equals gaining confidence.
Pick whatever hobby you like and work on your skills, your confidence will boost! Confidence is about knowing that you are actually working on becoming a better person, it is not based on being the perfect person.

Fear
In spite of your fear, do what you have to do.

Mind your own business
Never discourage anyone…..who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
Plato
Don’t discourage people that are working on themselves! Motivate them or leave them alone but don’t you dare to speak low of someone who actually tries and makes a difference, no matter how small.
