The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph – Thomas Paine

When you struggle, you grow. No great champion or successful person has ever been handed anything. When you cross the finish line of a marathon, you feel like you’ve really beaten the odds… and beaten yourself. It’s the same in all conflict. Victory is sweeter when it hurts

Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other – Walter Elliot

Every marathon runner will tell you the same thing. You are trying to win each mile. A marathon is 26 miles. It’s not a 26 mile venture it is 26 mile long treks. When you finish mile one, you start a new one. That goes on until you cross the finish line.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted – Aesop

Make the effort to give to someone else, and it will always come back to you. We like to credit this concept to revolutionary thinkers like Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra, but these ideas have been around since recorded history.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others – Ayn Rand

Sometimes we get so beat down by the success of those around us, whether we know them personally or through the headlines. We see that everyone else is doing it. Stop being competitive, and start being creative. Create your own success.

The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. – Oprah Winfrey

If you are afraid of falling, you will never get to great heights. Stop making excuses. Stop waiting for that perfect moment, that golden opportunity. Those moments do not come. You make them happen.

“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” – Winston Churchill

If you want to get better at anything, you have to accept change. Change is a natural and beautiful process that leads to growth both internally and externally. Without that change, you would become stagnant and stale. Stop holding on to the status quo, that’s not achieving anything.

“To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.” – Tony Dorsett

Think about a time when you had a project that excited you. Do you remember the motivation that made it easy to get out of the bed in the morning so you could work on it? Do you recall the passion and happiness you felt? To be successful, find more of that passion.

“Nothing happens to you, it happens for you. See the positive in negative events.” – Joel Osteen

When things happen “to” you, you feel helpless and victimized. However, if you look at things as happening “for” you, then you take some of your power back. This allows you to look at the lessons and blessings (a.k.a. silver linings) within anything you might experience.

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” – George Bernard Shaw

The most important aspect of change is that it starts within. If we only focus on outward change, then we will always be discouraged, confused, and even lost. If we allow those outward changes to bring opportunity, we can grow through them and become even stronger. Don’t be afraid to change.
