"Everything is created twice - first in the mind, and then in
reality."
"Very often when we fail or are fearful of failing, we want to
believe that there’s some innate trait that we don’t possess, or
that we’re just not special enough. But in reality, you are
special enough. You can be persistent and disciplined just
like anyone else. Whether your goal is to work at companies
like Google, Facebook, etc, or to get into your dream
law/medical school, or to start your own business, or to get
better at public speaking, or to simply develop a happy and
healthy lifestyle, there is no secret,
there are no shortcuts — it all comes down to determination,
consistency, and most importantly, discipline.
The discipline to work hard, not when everyone is watching,
but when absolutely no one is watching — when it’s just you and
your character. That is the single attribute that makes all
of the difference. The simple act of starting, failing,
starting again, trying different approaches, persisting. "
"An old Cherokee told his grandson, “My son, there is a battle
between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy,
greed, resentment, inferiority, lies & ego. The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, & truth.”⠀
The boy thought about it, and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed.” "
"Motivation will die out, replace it with discipline."
"You'll never change anything until you change something daily.
The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.
First we form habits, and then they form us."
