“Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment.” – Arthur Helps

Plant your feet and stand strong, as the old adage goes. But when you are planted firm in the foundation of you, that’s when your dreams and ambitions can truly soar to new heights. That’s how you break away from the pack and reach your fullest potential.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” – Charles R. Swindoll

Be proactive. Have a plan in place about how you will respond to setbacks. If all you do is react, then you will make more missteps. Instead, have a proactive plan about how to react. Being purely reactive is the wrong approach.

The key is not to prioritise what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” – Stephen R. Covey

When you start to prioritise your schedule, your mentality is flawed. You must realise that the only things that should ever make it to your schedule are the things that are important to getting where you want to go.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.” – Anais Nin

Your dreams bring success, but it might not be the success you expect. You could be put on a new path or be compelled to forge your own way in life. You could be thrown a curveball, but the right answer is to go with the flow and turn it into success.

Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. – Warren Buffett

Your dreams don’t come true right away. They might not even come true the first few times you give that maximum effort. But, if you continue to strive to achieve every single day, no matter how much life seems to beat you down, you’ll one day sit in the shade of that giant tree you planted.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. – Carl Sagan

That incredible thing could be yours. You’ll never know unless you go after it. You can’t sit around and wait for things to get better or hope that your life miraculously improves. You have to make things happen for yourself. It will be incredible.

“The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.” – Vince Lombardi

You have so much to give. If you keep it inside you, then you have not given the world what it has given you. You cannot be measured as a full person if you keep all of you to yourself. That’s selfish. Give back to the world and it will continue to give to you.

“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” – Mary Kay Ash

How long are you going to hold yourself back from having what you really want in life? Your dreams belong to you, but you have to bring them to the present for yourself. When you are making things happen for yourself, the journey itself brings joy to your heart.

“It’s a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get It.” – W. Somerset Maugham

We must always strive for the best and never be satisfied with anything less. If you accept less than what you deserve, you will always under value yourself. Learn to understand your own value and never settle for “good enough.”

“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” ~ Epictetus

This is a great way to look into the future and pull your current self towards what you want to be. What most people do instead is look at the past and beat themselves up over all of the things they’ve done. That just keeps you stuck in the past, or rather stuck in the moment because you’re not using the present to make for a brighter future. By using this future focused vision, and then starting today to do the things necessary to get you where you’re going, you’ll get there much more quickly.
