You can do it!

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

Abraham Lincoln

You have the potential to be just as successful as everyone else. Important is to believe in it and to be willing to work very hard.

Aer you underestimating yourself?

You probably are.

It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.

You will know this feeling: Seeing someone in a successful position, be it actor, musician or manager, and thinking ‘How can he pull that off, I could not, he must know so much more.’

Maybe the person does know much more. But it wasn’t always like that. One day the person knew exactly as much as you did, but decided to go for it anyway. Now see where it has brought other people to just start.

You can achieve what every other human being can achieve. Persistence and Motivation are the keys to success, so wrap your hand around it and get going!

So what do you care about?

I never trust anyone who’s more excited about success than about doing the thing hthey want to be successful at.

Don’t search for money or success. Search to improve a certain field of expertise, search to bring value to people, search to make this world a better place. That will attract success!

I believe

I do believe. I believe in talent, determination and hard work. I believe that YOU are talented and that YOU can make a difference.

I believe that every person is born with talent.

Maya Angelou

This is not a stupid saying. Think about it: Every person is born with a talent. Talent meaning something you are good at and you like at the same time! That means you can make the world a better place by doing some job extremely well and at the same time you will be rewarded with a fun and awesome life.

But it is your decision. Don’t hold back, don’t settle for mediocrity! Find your passions and your talents and work on them. Practice, Practice, Practice!

Enjoy,

About getting Motivation back

Whenever you are working on a task, may it be your homework or your lifetime dream,

and you come to that point when your motivation drops away. There are two ways to get your motivation back on track. First you can focus on the part you already achieved. Second you can focus on you goal and imagine how great you’ll feel once you’ve reached it. But these two strategies don’t always work same as good.

So… when you haven’t even finished the first half of you task it is much more motivating to focus on the progress you already made instead of the far away goal. But when you work on and your goal and it comes in sight its better to focus on the approaching sucess. Mind this and get yourself motivated again…

Fail, learn, fail better

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
Colin Powell

You are a human being, make use of that fact! You are able to learn from your mistakes and avoid them the next time. This ability is very important and too many people just don’t appreciate it enough. While preparation and hard work are concepts that take a little bit time to get used to, they still are understandable for most people. Failure on the other hand is like a stop-sign for most people, they accept it as final, which is in most cases bullshit!

Failing is life teaching you a lesson. You can take the lesson and start over again or you can go home and accept defeat. In both cases life will go on but only in one case you grow.

Decide to grow. Decide to learn! Decide to fail!

Go for it!

The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.

Sven Goran Eriksson

This cannot be stressed enough!

Just go for it!

Think like this: What would you do if you could not possibly fail? Have something in mind? Okay, then go do it!

People always fail, no one will judge your failures. But people will judge you not trying!

Resting on one’s laurels is bad

I do not like to repeat successes; I like to go on to other things.

Walt Disney

While success is always a nice thing to have it can get boring. Being successfull in only a few things over and over again is not literally bad but not half as fullfilling as succeeding in new areas.

Explore, find out what you like, try out new things and succeed at them!

Fail!

We learn from failure, not from success!

Bram Stoker

When you suceed you do so because you know something. You knew how something worked and therefore you were able to make it work.

You do not learn new things with success, it is rather the outcome of having learned new things.

You learn new things by failing.

Therefore fail often, fail well and have fun failing!

Keep on going!

The road to success is dottet with many tempting parking spots

Relaxing, staying in your comfort zone, it all is very tempting. But while it might make you feel good for a short amount of time, it will not bring you success in the end and is therefore shortsighted.

Keep going, keep giving everything!
