Build the inner fortitude to handle yourself with confidence and self-control even when the world around you is crumbling.

A major cause of many emotional and mental disorders is the inhibition, suppression and repression of aggressive feelings such as anger, rage and other forms of self-assertion. Your anxiety, guilt or depression are expressions of repressed aggression.

Neither your SUCCESS nor your FAILURE is final. Don't get drunk on either of these two. Regardless of which one you will experience first, remember that the only thing that counts is the courage to continue.

Leisure has no meaning in the absence of work.

Never forget that during periods of success, you will become inflated by your achievements, which will determine you to be more arrogant and feel untouchable. In such moments, when you become drunk on your success, your true identity becomes distorted, twisted, and even lost.

It takes nerve not to flinch or to be crushed by the sight of your own darkness, but I dare you to refuse to project your evil into the world and have the courage to accept responsibility for your inferior self.

We all have a dark side, both you and I, and if you assume you do not have it, it means it already has you.

Goals are specific and measurable. They represent a checkbox on a list, but goals have an endpoint. Once you have achieved one, you are done with it. The fulfilment sensation that you get once you are done, but also the emptiness that you feel after a short while, are imminent.

We live in an era where opinions seem to echo louder than convictions. Opinions only lead to gossip. Convictions create the spark for greatness. One category fuels noise, the other will make you strive for excellence.

When we start applauding character, integrity, and the pursuit of excellence again, when we realise that money is just a tool and not a representation of someone's worth, we will give voices to those who actually deserve them instead of lifting up pretenders.

It is easier to find men who quit without putting in the minimal effort than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience. It is up to us to change this.

The truest success is not the one our world often holds in high regard, success that seems to ring up on a cash register. The truest success is living up to a high but steady moral pressure while radiating love, kindness, sympathy, strength and joy to others.

Money is a vital tool, and you should welcome as much money as possible in your life, but never in your heart. Keep your heart, integrity, and character clean when dealing with money.

Skills are acquired, improved, and judged by performance. Anything else is just playing pretend and giving credit based on interest.

Learn from your failures by having the humility to accept them and the patience to listen to those who can point you in a better direction. Failure doesn't mean game over. Failure means you are playing at the limits of your abilities. Dare to remain on that edge.

Build the inner fortitude to handle yourself with self-control even when the world around you is crumbling.

Things are less scary the more you know what to expect. You know what to expect by facing scary things. Dare to jump on this cycle.

Possessions and achievements cannot guarantee anything, because the happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts and perceptions.

When you force yourself to fit in by suppressing much of who you truly are, you will become inflexible and rigid in every area of your life. Depression, lack of motivation and lack of reasons to push for a fulfilling life will then fill your existence.

Success always demands a greater effort, and the price of greatness is always great responsibility. When you dream of your ideal life, take this into account.
