Messages from a younger me

 Some things i wrote maybe 15 years ago. Usually wisdom comes with age but it seems who i used to be is more helpful. This advice is what is keeping me going.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it's best to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the winds in your sails. Explore, dream, Discover.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Great spirits have encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.

You create your opportunities by asking for them.

Opportunity is missed by most people as it's dressed in overalls and looks like work.

And above all , watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe the magic will never find it.

When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention.

Sometimes it is the smallest decisions that change your life forever.

Integrity is the essense of everything successful.

Difficulties are stepping stones to success.

Successful people are simply people who learn to solve their problems. They are not people without problems.

The successful people of this world take life as it comes. They just go out and deal with the world as it is.

Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognised a problem and turned it into an opportunity.

You can be discouraged by failure...or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes, make all you can because thats where you will find success on the far side.

Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.

The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.
