1. Fear is a bigger obstacle than the obstacle itself

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.

✅With any great risk comes great reward.
2. What is "true" will always endure

Truth cannot be veiled by smoke and mirrors -- it will always stand firm.

✅When you're searching for the "right" decision, it will be the one that withstands the tests of time and the weight of scrutiny.
3. Break the monotony

👉"When each day is the same as the next, it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises."

Gratitude is the practice of finding the good in each day.
4. Embrace the present

Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present.

✅If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man.
5. Your success has a ripple-effect

🔥Growth, change, and evolution are weaved into the fabric of reality.

Becoming a better version of yourself creates a ripple effect that benefits everything around you: your lifestyle, your family, your friends, your community.
6. Make the decision

When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he has never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
7. Be unrealistic

Some of the greatest inventions would not have happened if people chose to accept the world as it is.

✅Great achievements and innovations begin with a mindset that ignores the impossible.
8. Keep getting back up

"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."

👉Because the eighth time could be your breakthrough.
9. Focus on your own journey

If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry.

✅Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
10. Always take action

There is only one way to learn. It's through action.

You can study, read, and listen until you turn blue in the face, but the full experience is when you take action, and let the rubber meet the road.

✅Once you're done aiming, pull the trigger.
