More often than not, comparison only leads to sorrow.
Whenever you ask yourself a positive question, the problem-solving thought process begins in your mind. And if you keep at it for long enough, you will definitely have a solution.”
when you don’t get what you want, you get something which is far more precious.”
Most people spend their entire life doing something they don’t feel connected to. Doing a job that troubles them by the day and haunts them at night, they live their lives in quiet desperation. Every part of their being wants to get out of the misery they are in. But they don’t take that vital step out of the misery. They commit spiritual suicide every single day. That is what you do when you aren’t doing what you like in life. You commit suicide. Many people don’t even realize that they are caught up in the wrong career. And you, my friend, have had this fortunate realization. You have got a

you are never too late to pursue your dreams.”
You will be amazed to see how things change when you start taking actions. And as far as choosing your dream goes, you can choose anything.”
You can choose anything. It has nothing to do with your current capability. It has nothing to do with your past. It has nothing to do with your present. Set a goal that you are truly worthy of. And trust me, we are worthy of anything that we can think of. Set a goal so big that it scares you. Decide on something that won’t let you sleep at night.”
“Most people set their goals based on their current situation. If they are earning an amount of x per year, they set a goal to earn 2x the coming year. Their goals are limited by the situations they are in. I don’t want you to make the same mistake. Remember this — you get to choose what you want to be. You alone. No one else. Others might find your dreams to be far-fetched and stupid. But that’s alright. You must follow your heart irrespective of what others think.”
The more you push toward your dream, the more obsessed you get about it. And even before you realize, the dream takes on a whole new meaning. It feels as if your entire life depends on the fulfilment of the dream.
We only grow amidst challenges. There can’t be any growth without obstacles. Trust me! Every obstacle that you cross takes you one step closer to the goal that you have set for yourself.”
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?”
“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 b...

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. Think about all the stuff that you have learned. Think about all the new people that you have met. I am pretty sure it wouldn’t have been possible if you didn’t follow your heart.
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.”
