Renewal requires opening yourself up to new ways of thinking and feeling- Deborah Day

Today is just another opportunity to learn. You can find a new way of thinking about today. You can find a new way to feel the pain of those around you. Maybe you can empathize better. Maybe you can find a way to feel the joy that someone around is feeling. If we are to find renewal, we must find new again… literally.

I’d rather attempt to do something great and fail, than to attempt nothing and succeed – Robert H. Schuller

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing, so it’s a better idea to try your hand at greatness. So what if you fail, and least you tried something amazing and have a story to tell. Those that attempt nothing wind up with nothing to show for it and no story of even an attempt. How boring! Make sure that you’re always striving for something great so that you can look back and say you gave it a go. And if you have the right amount of perseverance and a bit of luck you might actually achieve something great for the history books.

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.

You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great – Zig Ziglar

Starting is the most important part of success, even though finishing is often thought of as having arrived. It’s so easy to get caught up in wondering about how things will turn out that we lose sight of getting started. Also, if you worry about failing, or coming up against obstacles along the way, this can deter you from even starting. But all of that is imaginary thinking because you only know what will really happen when you start moving towards your goal and deal with these challenges as you come upon them.

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?

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!– Audrey Hepburn

One of the things that slows us down the most is the size of the obstacles. We have to realize that barriers are there to make us stronger in the pursuit of our goals. If there were no mountains to climb, there would be no mountain climbers.

Find out who you are and be that person. That’s what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come – Ellen DeGeneres

When you start to bring out what is in your heart and soul, everything seems to come together nicely. Opportunities will come and you will have chances to shine that you have never been able to find before. Things start looking easy.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen. – John F. Kennedy

The simple fact is that things do not just fall into place. When you see someone we feel to be successful, they didn’t just stumble into success. They made their own success by hard work. Success may be quick, but the work was not.

You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water – Rabindranath Tagore

If you stand and stare, you will see how beautiful things are. You will never take action. Are you stuck in a rut of waiting and taking in the possibilities? Take those internal dreams and desires and express them through outward action.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit – Aristotle

When you get into the habit of not doing, it’s pretty bad. The only way to replace the habit of not doing, is to replace it with the mindset of doing your best every single moment in every single opportunity. So, go ahead and pursue quality.
