For you or for someone else?

“If you don’t build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs.”

 - Tony Gaskins

Do you feel like you could do much better at your job? Do you think that you are stopped from achieving what you should be doing?

Maybe you should start to think about making it on your own. Maybe you should start to look around for option that would let you make it better.

Working for someone else in the end it’s only that. You help someone else building their dream. You can’t impose your dream to replace theirs. So, if your dreams are much larger then theirs, you end up frustrated because you know it could become so much more.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

 - Harriet Tubman

Dare to dream and work to build them. No one can do it for you. You are the only one who can really grasp what is the essence of your dream. You are the only one who feels that way about it.

Working for someone else could go along with building the dream you have at the same times as theirs, but most of the times you end up giving up on the ones you have to build theirs.

Do you fear to take action?

Have the courage to follow your dream.

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

 - Nelson Mandela

We all have the choice when we face our fear. Overcome them or find a good reason for letting the fear win.

Which type of person are you?

“If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

 - Dale Carnegie

Getting busy, so simple and so hard to do.

Most will let the fear keep them from taking action. And this is the main difference between someone successful and someone who’s not.

Yes, everyone makes mistakes. But you’ll never get any success if you don’t take any action.

Learning is always good, but without any action it’s not worth anything.

Be different!

Be special! Be different!

« Normality is a paved road. It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it. »

Vincent Van Gogh

Among the mass, you are no ones.

Among the mass, you don’t get tagged. There’s less risk. But there’s less possibilities.

When you choose to hide among the mass, don’t whine about your situation. You choose to have what you get; you haven’t done anything to get anything more.

Take a step when everyone stands still. Take the risk and join the few who go ahead to reach their dreams.

Being among the mass is easy. 

Benefit from adversity

We all have to face adversity. The difference between each of us is how we react to it and what we do or don’t after.

“Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.”

 - Og Mandino

Those who succeed in life have been in many situations where they face adversity. Success is not the absence of adversity; it’s only a step further.

“Everyone is handed adversity in life. No one's journey is easy. It's how they handle it that makes people unique.”

 - Kevin Conroy

We tend to say that we know how it is because we did face something close to what others are facing, but in reality each of us are facing adversity in a different way. No one can really relate to what we experienced as we can’t for others.

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”

 - Napoleon Hill

When we understand that from adversity will grow benefit, we can face them with more strength.

Don’t fear adversity, it will come into your life what ever you do. Prepare yourself and hope for the best.

The ones who keep going on after adversity are the ones who are seen as successful.

Don't get too comfortable!

The source of greatness is in you, but you’ll understand it with the help of others. Read and listen to people who inspire you to find all the greatness you have.

Think about what you learned and learn how to think. It’s a work in progress. The two need to go along.

“He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”

 - Confucius

Work is mandatory for anyone who wants to be great. Good can be easy, but great is always hard.

Learn to love to work. It will always pay in the end.

When you are too comfortable in doing something, it’s a good indicator that you are no longer reaching for greatness. Uncomfortable is always the road to greatness
