Number 3 and number 17 are my favourites. The idea of being truly happy is the greatest motivator in my opinion. You need to be doing what you love or in the long run its just not going to cut it.
Also, the ability to give up what we are comfortable with in the attempt to reach something greater is an ability that not many people have in my opinion. But at the same time, that really is where greatness arises so it is essential to success.
Thanks for the post, a quick read never-the-less but a nice one.

Some great quotes indeed, but is number 7 accurate? I would suggest that we would need to risk ‘the unusual’ or settle for the ordinary.
You have a very bright question John and to answer your question yes it is indeed that you will have to settle for the ordinary if you are not willing to take risk of usual deeds. It’s like working in the same company with no growth at all but since you are enjoying what you already have you will be what your mind set brings you. Some of the risk takers achieve their goals and we all know that it is not easy. But believing that there are better things waiting for you if you will take risk is something not usual. All you need is courage and determination in achieving your goals.

# 16 is my favorite and also the most difficult. Progress does take place outside the comfort zone, but it is so comfortable there…. ! Well, it always can be better, more inspiring, challenging, better for ourselves or our community. But it does take efforts and a lot of courage to make choices and to move forward.
Wishing you all the best, thanks for posting.

Great article and very motivational, thank you for this. I would have to say that #8 tops my list. God knows we have all been through failure in our lives but having the “enthusiasm” to keep pushing forward is one of the most important keys to success. #19 follows suit saying that we “learn” from these failures and push on. Powerful stuff thanks again.

I have tried things of my life that I was not supposed to do. More specific my friends, family and girlfriends were not expecting for me to do.
Every time I start something new they usually say me to reconsider. Some of them they afraid that I will fail and some other do not like to see that some people really try to achieve their goals.
So, I really like the #20.
Hello Ilias,
It really is hard to prove to someone especially to your family, friends or even your spouse or girlfriend that you can do much better aside from what they consider you can do best because it’s really hard to achieve success than failure.
What we can say is be very glad that you are brave in taking risk and remember that you will find success if you don’t stop seeking. So good luck and cheers to your success!

Many of these are saying that failure and success goes hand in hand. I need to remind myself that there will failures before big success.
Hello Jan, yes you are right. No big success were achieved without failures first, as the saying goes, ‘there is no overnight success’. It always takes time because success is a process. You must always remind yourself that in every mistakes and failures, there will always be learnings and with that, you are always one step ahead to success and we must know how to pursue it.
