What a joy it is that the road ahead is an uphill climb. For where it leads is all the way to the top.
If you so choose, the challenges can make you stronger. If you so choose, the disappointments can make you more determined.
If you so choose, every mistake can lead to greater understanding and effectiveness. If you so choose, every frustration can help you to be more patient and more persistent.
Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open.
In every kind of endeavor, there are ample opportunities for extra effort. Grab those opportunities, embrace that extra effort and transform ordinary mediocrity into bright and shining excellence.
Stopping before you reach the goal does not make the discouragement go away. All it does is make the discouragement permanent. Instead, keep going, keep making the attempt, until you make that last, fulfilling attempt that brings the success you desire.
Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is so precious. Many of life's best rewards are possible only because you must work your way through difficult challenges to get to them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no opportunity for real fulfillment.
If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power. Instead focus on your purpose, on your most authentic and fundamental intentions.
Don't waste time on excuses. Just get it done.
The sooner you act, the bigger difference you can make.
Let each moment be guided by positive purpose. And let your whole life express the beauty of who you truly are.
What you are longing for is longing for you.
Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it.
Sure, it's easy to be upbeat when everything is going your way. Anyone can do that. It is far more important, however, to take a positive approach in circumstances that most people would view as negative.
Doubt is merely a thought. When experience proves it wrong, it will quickly go away.
No matter what the situation may be, there is always something positive you can do about it.
Live each moment from your own inspiration, not from your desire to look good in the eyes of others.
There's nothing that says you have to succeed in the same way as someone else. In fact, there's nothing that says you must define success in the same way as someone else.
Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it. [at least it will feel like it!]
Step confidently forward in the precisely the direction that is the most challenging to you. Because in that same direction, you'll also find what is most rewarding to you.
The real person you are is revealed in the moments when you're certain no other person is watching. When no one is watching, you are driven by what you expect of yourself.
It's difficult to follow your dream. It's a tragedy not to.
When you can clearly see yourself being there, you can see much more clearly how to get there. You can imagine the path to your dreams, and then start to actually walk it. Play an active role in your own future. Imagine with passion and detail how you'd most like it to be.
Those who are passionate about what they do have an advantage that is nearly impossible to overcome. In passion there is energy, creativity, resilience and persistence. Passion will get it done.
You become what you think about most. When you continually focus on the fear of failure, failure will become real for you. Look instead at the possibilities. Look at what could happen if only you would attempt it. Sure, it might not succeed completely. Yet even then you will learn something.
