@DearS_o_n Confidence comes from practicing not from anything else.

@readswithravi We're designed to solve problems, not to learn how to solve problems. The difference is huge.

One is pure producing, the other is pure consuming.

@48_quotes You are your environment.

@DearS_o_n It takes one moth to pays off your years of efforts.

@readswithravi If you want a life that has no problems, what are you going to do with it? Eat and sleep?

@readswithravi People underestimate the power of momentum, but it's real. Once you start doing something it's much easier to keep doing it.

[Kerolos Malak @xKerolos]

@readswithravi There's some kind of personal growth that's only reached through going after what terrifies you. You realize by the end that you're still alive!

@readswithravi You are what you consume.

@readswithravi The moral is keep working.

[Kerolos Malak @xKerolos]

To counter the obsessive thought of failure, you’ll play a simple, obvious, but hard game: the Rationalization Game. For instance:

If you start a business, you’ll hear about a study that says 80% or more of businesses fail in the first 5 years. Seems disappointing, right? That is because it hasn’t been rationalized yet. Ask questions like these to rationalize it:

-Where were the entrepreneurs in this study based? Colombia, U.S.A, Greece?

-How old were they, and what was their expertise?

-What was their business model?

-How was their pricing?

-How did they manage their finances?

-How many responsibilities did they have at the same time (kids, wife, etc.)?

I really could go on forever, but I think you get how silly people act when they hear “researchers showed that…”

Beware: obsessive thoughts spread through your time like a cancer.

They start by consuming minutes, expand into hours, and eventually swallow your entire day.

@mindsetmachine Try.
Improve.
Live.

[Kerolos Malak @xKerolos]

@DearS_o_n Improving after each iteration= success.

[Kerolos Malak @xKerolos]

@mindsetmachine Understand that you are the outcome.

[Kerolos Malak @xKerolos]

@DearS_o_n Live the live you need, not the life other people want.

[Kerolos Malak @xKerolos]

@readswithravi That goes for taking care with your body too.
