Those who rely upon their own abilities are people who live an exemplary life. Those who follow others to attain success in life fail to achieve greatness of character. On the contrary, those people who have full faith in their abilities and put in their best efforts move closer to success.
“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” -Joshua J. Marine
A life without challenges and hardships is certainly be boring and meaningless. If you look back at your life, you would see that each challenge gave you a chance to learn something new. Success boosts up your confidence and failure gives you a learning that helps you move forward in life.
“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.” -Bruce Lee
As they say, a smooth sea never made a skillful sailor; you cannot call yourself a winner if you do not win over struggles of life. Each difficult gives you a chance to bring out the best in you. Most people don’t even know what they are truly capable of until they face the hardships of life.
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” -Albert Einstein
One thing that all the great people of the world have in common is that they all face criticism at a point of time. Those who dare to think different end up making history and inspire even others around them. Follow your instincts to make important decision of your life as you can actually work wonders if you simply follow your heart.
“You cannot dream yourself into character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.” -Henry David Thoreau
Your hardships and struggles strengthen your efforts to get closer to your goals. Don’t run away from your struggles but embrace them as they help your move forward and upward on the ladder of success. Troubles give you a reason to believe in yourself and to try even harder to make struggle hard to realize your dreams.
“Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you’re scared.” -Eddie Rickenbacker
No doubt, when you do what you are afraid to do you get to know your real self that is truly powerful and divine? You must acknowledge the fact that most people do not come out of their comfort bubble unless they are forced to do so. If you wish to move forward in life, you must learn to take risks and live life in the edge.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.” –Aristotle
Even you fail at your first attempt at something; you must not give up since those who keep trying eventually get success. As they say practice makes a person perfect, shake off your failures and get up to try again with extra vigor every time you fall down.
“Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.” -Roy Goodman
It is just a misconception that achievements make us happy since such happiness fades away in a moment. Those who make happy memories of everyday life live in the moment. Don’t wait for a miracle since life in itself is a blessing. Each day gives you millions of reasons to be happy. Those who keep their options open and prove themselves worthy meet their destiny.
“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” -David Brinkley
No matter what people say as those who know what they want in life are people who have full faith in their abilities. They don’t rely upon others to help and support them rather they set new standards of success for others to follow.
You can work wonders once you realize your true strengths and make the best use of your skills. Do not let lame excuses keep you from moving forward on path of success.
