Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Long or short, if you worry about every step of a journey, you will divide it endlessly into pieces, any one of which may defeat you. Look only to the end.”
Be now what you must be to succeed at the end of your journey, and when the end comes, you will find it is just another beginning.”
To take what has happened to you and learn from it, instead of being trapped by it. Nothing is quite so destructive as pity, especially self-pity. No event in life is so terrible that one cannot rise above it.”
This terrible event—whatever it was—is over and done. Cling to it and let it shape you and you are doomed to live it forever. You are granting it power over you. Set it aside, and shape your future as you wish it to be, in spite of what happened to you. Then you have seized control of it.”
When you fear to fail, you fear something that has not happened yet. You predict your own failure, and by inaction, lock yourself into it.
