Some of the best advice I’ve ever been given: “don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t ever go to for advice.”
“Simple things are the best things in life. Miracles happen every second of everyday inside & outside of us. Just be present & live through the lens of gratitude. Change your perspective, change your life.” – Lukas Notes
“When you fall, don’t get up empty handed.”
“Things may come to those who wait, but only things left by those who hustle.” – Abraham Lincoln
“Trust in your craft enough to admire it, study it, perfect it, breathe it. Never stop getting better at whatever it is that you love to do.”
“Blood, sweat and respect. First two you give, last one you earn.” – Dwayne Johnson
“If you want to go big, stop thinking small.”
“A goal properly set is halfway reached.”
“To live happily is an inward power of the soul.” – Aristotle
“Don’t miss out on something that could be great just because it could also be difficult.”
“The only way to make sense of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” – Alan Watts
“Deep down, you know exactly what you are capable of. There’s even moments where you get a glimpse of all the potential you have. You can get there. You just have to be willing to sacrifice the habits, things and situations that are standing in the way of your success.”
