You become what you do most of the time.
Success leaves clues. Go figure out what someone who was successful did, and model it. Improve it, but learn their steps. They have knowledge.
It's natural to sit down but the human spirit within us can make us get up.
Your Philosophy of life shapes you more than anything else
You can't wait for the perfect situation. Find something you love. People you love. And get out there and you'll discover it.
People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
