spend more time doing the things I love and enjoy, and less time doing the things I don't love and enjoy.
When you consistently work on your dreams and goals, you build momentum, confidence, and stamina.
The more consistently you work on your goals and dreams, the more you will start to believe in yourself and your dreams.
Take one minute to list out the five most important goals in your life right now as quickly as possible. As you are writing down these goals, do not place any limits on what you think you can or cannot achieve; only write down what you wish to accomplish without limits. After you have done this, decide which goal is the most important goal that you need to take action on in your life immediately. Next, write a list of 10-20 actions you can take to accomplish this goal. Finally, complete one action right now for this goal, and then come back and continue reading.
You are the sole determinant of whether your dreams convert into your present reality.
It is important to understand that you should never compromise between what you want and what you think is possible and realistic for you to achieve.
We are capable of more than we think we are if we relinquish all our fears, doubts, and insecurities.

YOU CAN EITHER BE YOUR BIGGEST ENEMY OR YOUR BIGGEST MOTIVATOR!
verbalize what you hope to accomplish throughout the day, and team your words with prolific action.
If you have a dream or goal that you want to achieve, the level of discipline that is incorporated into your lifestyle is going to be one of the main determinants of whether that dream or goal is accomplished.

People who do not speak up for themselves often fall victim to peer pressure, let others make decisions for them (whether they like the decisions or not), and they are usually not the happiest people because they often never experience what they want out of life and from people.
If you surround yourself with productive people who have good intentions, then you will most likely conduct your life in a similar manner.
If you surround yourself with unproductive people with bad intentions, then you may find yourself in controversial situations doing things you had no original desire or intention to do.
If you surround yourself with good intentioned and positive people, if they ever do put peer pressure on you, it will most likely be beneficial to you.
If you value your dreams and goals, and have a strong desire to go after your ambitions, then you will not give into negative peer pressure because you will count the cost for every decision that puts your personal success at risk.
If you do not have boundaries over your time and schedule, you most likely will often be stressed out, unproductive, unhappy, and irritated;

The passengers that ride with you should be people that support you and love you for who you truly are and not for what you can do for them;
The way you can truly know if someone is worth being a passenger in your life is to be yourself.
The only thing you have to lose from being yourself is the acceptance of the wrong people.
