Procrastinating, fighting and avoiding will only make it more difficult. The way out is to get it done.

Stopping before you reach the goal does not make the discouragement go away. All it does is make the discouragement permanent. Instead, keep going, keep making the attempt, until you make that last, fulfilling attempt that brings the success you desire.

Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.

If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power.

It doesn't matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it.

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.

Meaning is found not in the rewards, for they are only tokens. Seek not to have the gold medal. Instead, seek to be the person who can win the gold medal. It is in the quest that you'll find the fulfillment which the reward represents.
