Don’t let your difficult past define your today. When you focus on the past, you choose to be a victim of the past. Past is gone. Choose now. Choose success.
Before you can succeed, you have to be brutally honest with yourself. Get to bottom of what do you really want, what are you doing about it. As soon as you accept responsibility for it all, no matter who did what, you have become best version of yourself. No stopping you now.
Bad things happen. Pain. Betrayal. Loss. Despair. But it all passes. Sometimes we can’t see the path in front of us but the path there is. Calm yourself. As long as you are alive, as long as you can take one more step, you have It in you to move forward. Never give up hope.
Japanese have a saying: each day is a lifetime. You wake up in the morning newly born. As you pass through the day, you age, you gain experience, you learn. What you do today, how you do it, shapes your whole life. Live each day, each minute fully as if it matters.
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about. - Dale Carnegie
It’s not the biggest, not the best, not the most talented who succeed. Success belongs to the underdog, mistreated and beaten down, at the margin of society, with a burning fire inside.
Each one of us has a need and a want. Need converts to want. It’s the power of your want that drives your success. Be clear what your needs are. Be clear what you want. Write it down. Start. Now.
Work hard. Make money. Succeed. But don’t sell your soul. Don’t cheat. All the money in the world is meaningless if you feel empty inside. Do the right thing and be patient. Success is going to follow you.
Most people who go for plastic surgery to improve their “looks” say they still feel unattractive, even after surgery. It’s not how you are but how you perceive yourself to be. Remember, the world sees you as you see yourself.
Once you reach the top of the mountain, you only go down. If you want to stay successful, stop thinking you have made it to the top. Stay humble, keep striving, keep climbing.
