The degree of responsibility you take for your life determines how much change you can create in it – Celestine Chua

You are not a victim unless you decide to be. Take responsibility for what is happening in your life and the role that you are playing in it. Once you can do this, you have all the power in your hands to create something different for your life.

Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you – Marsha Norman

Your soul whispers to you that it wants you to do more and be more, but your brain gets in the way telling you you are not worthy, or can’t do it. Hold fast your dreams and trust that if you work hard enough you can achieve them.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else – Les Brown

Blaming other people for the circumstances in your life does absolutely nothing to empower you. If you don’t like what is happening in your life, then you are the only one required to take steps to change it; no one else will do that for you

The wise does at once what the fool does at last – Baltasar Gracian

Here’s the best way to sum up the act of procrastination. Be wise and just do what needs to be done at the time it needs to be done. It is rather foolish to push things back that must be done if they’re eventually going to need to get done at some point. When you do the work in a timely manner you free yourself up to do more and achieve more, rather than struggle with easy tasks that should have been done long ago. When you put off what needs to be done you are putting off your success and plenty of opportunities to accomplish and become even more.

Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay – Simone de Beauvoir

Refusing to take action today is taking a chance that things will just happen to get better some other day. The circumstances will be more favorable another time. What if they aren’t? What if this is the best they ever get? Will you regret letting this opportunity slip away?

When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor – Elon Musk

The chances are, the biggest reason you are dragging your feet is because the chips are stacked against you. Your future is more important than the difficulty of getting done. Think about where you will be in a month. In six months. In a year. Now do it.

Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another – John Dewey

Some of your goals are small. For example, your first goal should be, “Get Off My Ass.” You can get that one checked off today. When you get to the end of that goal, it’s the starting point for the next goal on your list.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. – Martin Luther King Jr.

It can be so hard to take that first step when the rest of the journey is unclear, or even totally unknown. But that is what life is like, each step we take is really a step of faith because we never know what’s ahead, we just have to carry on and deal with what happens next to the best of our abilities. Here Dr. King reminds us that we’ll never be able to see the whole staircase, no matter if it’s an important project, a relationship, or the totality of our lives. It matters not, because as long as you have faith in that first step, the next will appear.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings – William Blake

You dream big. Some people say too big. But that’s those people. That’s their limitations. Don’t let their limitations hold you back from what you can accomplish. Today is the day to take action.

“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.” ~ Estée Lauder

Dxrzs6cV4AAGJG4

Here’s a success tip from someone that achieved high levels of success. She’s saying that dreaming of success won’t get you there all by itself. You have to have a dream, but you’ll stay a dreamer unless you back up your dream with work. Learn this lesson early on in your life and it will pay dividends all the time. If things aren’t working out the way you want them to it likely means you’re not putting in enough work to make them happen. Get a clear focus, a clear dream, a clear goal, and then follow up with focused work.
