Glorious Failures

Don’t fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Bruce Lee

You know the drill. Take risks, fail, fail again, fail better!

Failing and trying again is the creative process it needs to invent quality, to produce value.

Fearing Failures will paralyze you, stopping you short in your pursue of happiness.

Dream big

A man with no imaginations has no wings.

Muhammad Ali

What you can not think of, you won’t achieve.

In order to become great, you first have to start thinking big!

Dream whatever you want, aim for whatever great goal you want, allow yourself the freedom to pursue whatever plans you desire!

Success!

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.

Jim Rohn

There is no magic trick behind success.

Successful people work hard and consistent. They do not seek excuses but solutions. They do not work for money, they work in order to create value.

Working hard is the most essential key to success, there are no shortcuts!

 

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

Tony Robbins

Failure is choice

When doubt seeps in, you got two raods, you can take either road. You can go to the left or you can go to the right and believe me, they’ll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous. Failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it’s a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed.

Do you desire success?

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Bill Cosby

You won’t succeed as long as your fear of failure holds you back.

Sometimes you have to ignore risks, have a false conception of reality and just go for it!

Discipline!

Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.

Jim Rohn

Yup, talent is awesome. So are great circumstances or plain luck. But also hard work and dedication! And while you do not have controll over talent, circumstances or luck you do have controll over your own discipline!

Discipline will lead to success. Set yourself a goal, think about how to achieve it and work your ass off! It does not get any harder, and not simpler.

I do know how hard it can be, believe me. But I also do know that every single one of you (including me) is able to be disciplined.

You know the saying: You either face the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. I chose discipline, what will you?

It pays to think big

The daily telegraph had or has an amazing ad campaign called “It pays to think big”, I had to share:

50k!

BAM! Almost one year ago I posted that I was super stoked about my first 10 000 visitors on motivatingdaily.com (Read the post here)

Today, little over two years after starting this blog without any clue on how it would grow I can proudly announce that I’ve reached the 50k! 

50 000 people!

Last year I said “Thanks again and let’s hit the 100k“, which now seems so damn close! Thanks to you guys, who read, commented, liked and shared my posts!

I am honoured to have that many readers, still counting!

So, again, like last year, thank you a lot for your support!

By the way, I realised that with over 200 followers many of you probably do not visit the page itself that often, do you? So I ask you for a favour: When you read this celebration post, please visit motivatingdaily.com in your browser. I am curious what sort of impact this will have on my stats 🙂 Thanks in advance!

You like motivatingdaily? Go tell your friends (and enemies, maybe they need it the most). You do not like something or have some suggestions? Awesome, go tell me, I’m always glad to improve this site!

So far, let’s hit another 50k an we’ll talk again 🙂

50k!

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

Muhammad Ali

People sometimes think that competitions are won when they are held but in many cases that is wrong. Without preparations noone will win any competition or event.

If you carefully consider how and how well every participant is prepared you can get a pretty accurate picture of who is going to win.

The problem is that during preparation you do not get rewards. You work your ass of for the possible but not granted success. So believe in your success, trust your abilities and push through preparations!
