It’s always your choice!
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.
Wayne Dyer
This is very profound and if you have not taken it for granted until now, think about it!
You can be miserable. Of course. Why not? Choose to be miserable and no one will care. Why would they? It is your choice. You can be miserable or you can pull yourself up, dust yourself off and get started!
Stay in bed, full of thoughts and self-pity, sleeping through the day and wondering why everyone else got better at the end of the day but you is not the best way. It may be easy, but it will break you in no time.
Do not fall for it.
Lazy self-pitty and miserable feelings are the temptations that you must not give in, even if it is the last thing you do!

Do not quit!
Do not quit. Not right now!
Keep on going, keep on digging, keep on working hard!
Maybe you are closer to your goal than you imagine.
Keep it up!

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?

Take what you want
The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.
Ayn Rand
Why wait for permissions?
Why wait for the good things in life to come to you?
Take what you want! Do what you like and work hard for your goals. You will be surprised how well this simple formula works out.
And read Ayn Rand. Her books are long, complex and not an easy read. But it is worth every second you put into it.
Read Ayn Rand.
Ah well and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🙂

In it for the money?
You reach a point where you don’t work for money.
Walt Disney
Money can only bring you so far before it won’t be fun anymore.
There will be a point where you start working for your own pleasure, where you do not see work as a duty or as a pain.
Work will be your hobby and you will love it.
But bear in mind: In order for this to happen you need to have a positive mindset about work. Allow your work to affect you in a positive way. As long as you go to your office or place of work with thoughts along the lines of ‘Meh, I hate this job’, you won’t achieve any of those effects.

Enjoy your time
No such thing as spare time,
no such thing as free time,
no such thing as down time.
All you got is life time. Go!
Henry Rollins.
There is this concept of work and spare time that I really oppose: Work time is not supposed to be fun, it is not supposed to brighten your day, it is work. You do it in order to gain money wich will increase the quality of your highly-valued spare time.
This concept of time is extremely strange because it gives you the illusion that suffering at certain points in life will make other parts inevitably better. I ask: Why not have fun all the time? We have 24 hours a day, why don’t we just enjoy our waking hours no matter what we are doing?
To me the term work merely means I get paid to do it, no matter what it is. Therefore work is not something negative, but something awesome. See: Normally I do what I like. At work I do what I like and on top of having fun in the moment I get paid for it. Isn’t that nice? Why yes, of course it is!
You have 24 hours a day, enjoy them! Do not waste your time doing stuff you don’t like, dreaming about better times.

Work is an important factor in the equasion
It’s funny how the harder I work the more successful I become.
Jack Warner
Well he should know a thing or two about success.
But this is a universal truth and not at all limited to succes in terms of society or finances. Be it success in your personal life, say a personal sports goal for example or be it something like a childhood dream you always wanted to fulfil:
The more work you put in, the sooner you’ll see results! At first it seems impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable. Go for it!
/phil
Don’t like waiting in line?
Go the extra mile – It’s never crowded.
Push harder than the average person and you will find yourself in an environment that is free of lazy, sbobing human beings. Avoid the lazy and unambitioned ones, surround yourself with creative and enthusiastic people and go the extra mile!

Sleep?!
“Sleep?!” He said. “Sleep is for those people who are broke. I have an opportunity to make a dream become a reality. I do not sleep.”
