Engaging in self-reflection is crucial for a meaningful life, as suggested by Socrates. This involves learning from setbacks by analyzing problems and extracting lessons to develop general principles.
if you don't feel like it, act the part
if you will act the part, if you will pretend as though you have the quality already, the feelings will generate the actions and actions will generate the feelings
if you act, walk, talk and live by the same principles and do the same things successful man und women do, even if you
doubt yourself in the initial stages, eventually you will come to a point where you actually feel to the bottom of your soul like a successful, positive, confident, cheerful, optimistic, unstoppable human being and thats the key, act the part until you feel the part
your true believes are only and always expressed in your actions
it is not what you say or what you intend that tells what
you believe but only what you do, your actions are always the true measures
go confidently in the direction of your dreams and act as though it were impossible to fail
self-condifence begets achievement
nothing succeeds like success and once you've been successful you have a pattern set down which will enable you to imply that pattern in another part of your work to be successful in that and the more you succeed the more this pattern of success is reinforced
self-doubt can paralyse
we all have self-doubt and the way we overcome that self-doubt is by doing the things that we will normaly back away from
you only get confidence by doing certain things over and over again that built a solid foundation within your own mind, that you can do whatever you need to do, that you have what it takes to be successful

in life there is never enough time to do everything but
always enough time to do the important things
set priorities and do what is important

will power, perseverance, to concentrate on one thing
at a time is a quality of all success, nothing great has
ever been accomplished without the ability to
concentrate single minded on one thing at a time
Competence
Kompetenz
the market pays for excellence
if you do not love your work enough to work to be
the best at it, get out of it the way you would get
out of a burning house

self worth, you never feel wonderful about yourself
until you know that you are good at what you're
doing
hard work yields improvement
the harder you work the better you get

compacency and satisfaction are the key enemies of excellence
excellence is a journey, it's not a destination you
never get there

without obstacles no success is possiblethe only way we can be successful is if we develop momentum and we cannot develop momentum unless we are struggling with obstacles and struggle with adversity goes hand in hand with all great success
the great expression of courage is to persist in the face of adversity, to persist when things really get rough, to be able to pick yourself up over and over again
no security, just opportunity
there is no security in life only opportunitieslife is very pervers, in a way, because the more we seek security the less we have it and the more we seek opportunity the more we have security
