Success really is a marathon that requires daily action. Thinking that you will just get directly to success without failure is nonsense and bullshit. 

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going - Beverly Sills

The reality is you will surely make mistakes, risk failure, experience rejection, look humiliated. It’s not to discourage you, but to prepare you to face challenges like a warrior. 

Anything worthy to fight for is NO SHORTCUT. What others experience may not always apply to you. Life will be your greatest teacher that you need during a tough time. You will learn, grow, and eventually you will succeed. 

NEVER GIVE UP my handsome friends!

Sometimes when we focus too much on how fast we can accomplish our goals, we forget how important it is to appreciate and enjoy things in the process. We become impatient, bitter and unhappy because a result doesn’t come fast enough.

We are so attached to an outcome that we are only happy when we achieve our goals. We set expectations depending on a result, instead of a growing process. 

Remember you are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. 

It’s okay to feel rushed. It’s okay to want more, but it’s absolutely NOT okay to be ungrateful. 

When you feel overwhelmed, pause, reflect and see how far you have come. Be grateful for struggles, challenges and hard times because they have shaped who you are capable of becoming.

What do you really want? Fancy cars, big houses, a lot of money? These material things may bring you a short term happiness, but it will never fulfill you long term. The thing that really makes you happy often times it is something that gives you a sense of PURPOSE.

We have to know what we are here for, and what we can do to improve others' lives. The only thing that can bring meaningful to your life is when you know that you are being helpful to others people.

Do you remember the last time how much joy you had when you helped other people? That's the key. The more people you help, the more happier you experience. Therefore, find out what you are passionate about and pursue it.

To focus on a few things in your life. To enjoy what really matters 

Why are many people not happy? They want so many things in their life. Therefore, the secret to happiness is to enjoy less. Less is really more. It is not about seeking more, but it’s about the art of enjoying less. 

There is nothing wrong with wanting more, but if you let the desire of wanting more affect your overall happiness, that desire is a problem.

Here is the dangerous part: the things that you think you want may not be the things that actually make you happy. 

The funny thing is one you learn to enjoy less, you will be more peaceful, less stressed, and things will come to you more naturally.

Face your fears and take as many shots as you can, take many chances. Say yes to whatever that you are afraid of. You can only grow if you face your fears. Yes you will fail a lot, yes you will miss a lot of shots, but you will also have more chances of success. You will encounter many ‘no’ in your life, but the final ‘YES’ will make all the ‘NO’ worthy to endure.

The main reason that you say no to yourself is because of fear. But you know who really is the greatest enemy? YOU! We often talk ourselves out of many opportunities. We let the opportunities paralyze us. But the good news is that you can control and make decisions to face what scares you.

It’s easier to do nothing and tell yourself that it will never work out than to attempt something and find out.

Have you ever been in a situation where you see an attractive girl from a distance but not making an attempt to approach her because of fear of rejection?

Have you ever wanted to ask for a raise but ended up not doing it due to fear of failure?

Our brain is really powerful. It could work in your favor or it could work against you. When we make excuses frequently, we will have a higher tendency of making excuses more than taking action. In contrast, when we take action more often, we will have a higher chance to stop making excuses.

When you experience a tough day, you need to remind yourself that awesome days will come soon. 

The reality is some days are tough and some days are awesome. We have to experience sadness, difficulty, challenges in order to understand or to value all good days. Because without a tough day, we would totally take a good day for granted. Understanding this concept will help you have an open mind and actually appreciate the meaning of a tough time.

Tough days are part of your journey, and it will end eventually. Once it is over, your great days will come. NEVER FORGET THIS!

Careless about the outcome. Focus on living to your true authentic self. Say and do things that please yourself instead of others.

The fact is people will judge or criticize you anyways no matter what your intentions are. If your action is mainly focusing on winning over others so that they will like you more, you will often end up disappointed because you care too much or at least more than others about the outcome. However, if your action is focusing on amusing yourself, you will become more attractive because you CARE LESS about the outcome. 

After all, what really matters is how you feel after you do things that are authentic with who you are and what you feel right in that moment. Stop worrying about the outcome. The result will take care of itself.

Being single is a tough experience that everyone will experience at some points or even many stages in their lives. I know that we all desire to be with someone we love, to share experiences, adventures together, to hangout at family gatherings, family holidays, to have someone to share time with on Friday or Saturday nights. 

We don’t like feeling alone on the weekend. When we see our friends, people on social media getting married, that makes us question ourselves about self-worth. However, single time is the most important time that gives us the opportunity to work on our improvement journey, to focus on our visions, our dreams, and what we truly want. 

We have to experience loneliness, sadness, frustration, disappointment, before we can taste a feeling of happiness and success. 

Being single is not fun, but it does come with some benefits. You can either focus on why being single is sucked, terrible, not good, or something to avoid, or you can focus on what good it brings to your life. 

But after all, remember being single is TEMPORARY, and you will find a special person at the point that you are unexpected. DON’T SETTLE!

There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results - Art Turock

The only way to make a commitment long lasting is to choose to do what you are naturally passionate about. That’s way you will most likely keep going, keep trying when things get hard, when results have not come yet, when you don’t feel motivated. Even when you are stuck, you won’t just give up or give in easily to the naysayers. 

The thing is that going for your dreams is never easy, and it is very important that you choose something we love so that it makes it easier to endure.
