“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” ― Thomas A. Edison
One of the biggest impediments to success is fear of failure. When you embrace it all and learn from your mistakes, then whatever happens is used in a positive way, and you get to enjoy the whole journey – not just when you win.
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” ― Marilyn Monroe
The truth is life is more interesting when you can break out of the box and see the world from the edge. Mainstream is good, but you don’t want to get stuck doing what everyone expects of you. When you stretch your limits you get to experience new parts of yourself – the interesting parts that make you unique.
Real genius knows that imagination is more important than facts. So pay attention to it in your own life. Imagination is freedom; it gets you out of the box and into new possibilities. And that’s the first step to success.
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ― Oscar Wilde
It sounds easy to be yourself, but it is actually one of the biggest challenges you will ever face. It is difficult to follow your own voice and passion when you know those you love expect something else. But isn’t this your life? Are you not here to manifest your dreams?
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
Stop waiting for change and create it in your life. Too many wait for life to happen. Become the friend you want to have, give the love you want to receive and take the risks you imagine in your mind.
“It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.” -- Benjamin Franklin
Pay attention to what you choose to repeat in your life, humans are creatures of habit. Unhealthy choices become habits when you don’t stay aware of what you are doing. It’s just as easy to develop a healthy routine as an unhealthy one -- just stay conscious.
