No matter how hard life gets, the real battle is always within you.
You don't control the universe. But what you choose to THINK and DO is always in your hands.
In physics, there are two concepts: Speed and Velocity.
Speed is how fast you're moving; velocity is how fast you're moving in a specific DIRECTION.
If you solely focus on speed without tracking your direction, you'll end up going around in circles — very fast.
Steve Jobs on Passion and Perseverance:
"I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.
Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive."
Two powerful quotes by Albert Einstein on Curiosity and Problem Solving:
"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."
"I am not a genius, I am just curious. I ask many questions. And when the answer is simple, then God is answering."
Unclutter your Mind!
Your biggest bottleneck in personal performance is the lack of Mental Clarity.
And the biggest enemy of mental clarity is the never-ending stream of unnecessary thoughts clogging your head.
Silence your mind, and guide your thoughts. You'll win every goal.
We take full responsibility of our physical actions, but rarely take complete ownership of our mental thoughts.
WHY!
There's absolutely no reason to not have mastery over our own thoughts.
After all, the thoughts you live in your head are YOUR thoughts, not someone else's.
