It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves – Edmund Hillary

The challenges we face and the goals we set are often simply smokescreen for the journey we undertake to conquer ourselves and all the doubts and fears we have. We often do not know what we are made of until we are faced with a mountain to climb.

There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment – Norman Vincent Peale

Mediocre people are not often enthusiastic about much at all. They might do a good job but do it in such an apathetic a way that it leaves one feeling like something is missing. If you want to be really accomplished in life, apply some enthusiasm to everything that you do. Not only is enthusiasm infectious, it’s extremely productive.

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.

Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful – Joshua J. Marine

You might never equate your challenges as being something interesting, and for someone to say that they are that can almost be an insult depending on what you are dealing with. However, overcoming our challenges does truly make life more meaningful. We become textured and resilient; we have great perspective about what’s truly important in life.

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

We must meet the challenge rather than wish it were not before us – William J. Brennan, Jr.

Wishing for problems to go away does absolutely nothing but create more problems. Taking the step to meet your challenges is often the hardest step, but resolution is on it’s way because you have faced your problems. Step up and get through the tough times in life.

The power you have is to be the best version of yourself you can be, so you can create a better world.-Ashley Rickards

Being the best version of yourself takes effort and a deliberate attempt to do so. You never really know what the best version of yourself is until you start to try to become it. You’ll find that once you work on improving yourself, you’ll discover a new way to get better, and it becomes a continual process. The opposite is also true, and should be avoided. If you let yourself slide, you’ll find new ways to continue that slide and become a version of yourself you never wanted to be.

Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. – John R. Wooden

Focusing on what you can do and finding others to help you with the things you can’t do is the key to a successful life. Why bang your head against the wall when you come upon something that you’re not able to do? It’s not possible to be a master in every area, so be sure to put the best person for the job on each job, and be humble enough to say that you’re not always that person. Some of the most successful people of all time had great teams that were able to accomplish more than just one person could.
