“

You recognize that there’s so much potential for you to create a life you really love and are proud of, and you know because you see others doing it all the time.

“

You just get up, and do the thing that you did yesterday all over again until you finally succeed with it.

“

You’ve failed.

“

Being successful requires being proactive and not waiting for life to come to you. It means you’re on offense, not defense. You’re active, not passive.

“

Yes, you will get rejected. Yes, you will hit walls in your progress. Yes, negativity and self-doubt will be on your heels with every step.

“

Business is hard. It’s 24 hours a day. You can’t leave it at work.

“

Do the things that feel good because that’s more important. Your mental health is important and it shouldn’t be compromised for a life that looks good to others from the outside.

“

But alas, here I am, feeling sorry for myself about the fact that I’m not going to be a doctor, a high-profile engineer, a famous model, or a world-renowned scientist.

“

Life is not a race, and it is definitely not a contest. Sometimes, the small things are actually the big ones, and the best things in life aren’t even things.

“

You never really tried, instead you’re just giving up. You’re saying you can’t do it not because you can’t do it but because you don’t WANT to do it.
