The Big Switch: It's never too late

when you don’t get what you want, you get something which is far more precious.” “What?”

Even the darkest of clouds have a silver lining in them.

We, humans, are powerful creatures. Look at the world around you. Look at all that we have created. Now, you can say that we didn’t create it. But everything has been created by humans like us. We can do anything, Keith. And as you are about to set a brand new goal for yourself, keep that in mind. You can choose anything. It has nothing to do with your current capability.

The more you push toward your dream, the more obsessed you get about it.

you need to fight for every turn of yours.

Imagine that I give you a goat made out of clay. Now, I want you to make a lion out of it. How will you do it?” Keith thought for a couple of seconds. “Simple! I will break the goat and then create a lion out of the clay.” “But why do you have to break the goat? Can’t you create the lion without breaking it?” “Is it possible?” “Yes, exactly. It isn’t possible. Similarly, in order for you to become a new person — a person that is worthy of your goal — you will have to undergo the breaking process. The true lion within will only rise once the goat is broken down. Trust me! Give yourself some more time and you will hear the lion roaring.”

If one needs to improve, he must push himself to his limits and even beyond.

“The destination is just an illusion, Keith. It is the journey that matters.

Many times, we fail to see the rewards that life showers on us because we are too busy worrying about the hardships.

Follow your heart. It knows where your treasure is, even when you don’t. And trust me, it will move mountains to take you there.”
