Success – minute motivation
Every oak tree started out as a couple of nuts who decided to stand their ground
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Obstacles – minute motivation
Everything that happens to you is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Thoughts – minute inspiration
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Help – minute motivation
No one saves us except ourselves. No one can and no one may. We must walk the path ourselves.
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Adversity – minute motivation
To accuse others for one’s own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete.
– Epictetus

On happiness – minute motivation
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
– Robertson Davies
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Your life, not society’s life!
Don’t let other’s life path dictate yours.
This one lesson we should learn. We all want success and admiration. And if we see our friends and colleagues making progress, we check our lives. If we are not moving as fast as them, we become saddened. If we are, then we feel relief.
This wrong. Our journeys are different and we grow unhappy with comparison.
For me, the purpose of life first and foremost is to be happy and impact others positively. To leave the world feeling like you’ve done the right things.
We all live and die, and spending our waking moment obsessing or chasing things because society tells you that it is success, isn’t the best way to live.
Create your own path.

Living |minute motivation
Our lives are shaped much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy, Insight is our gift, Memory is our guide!
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Understanding |minute motivation
Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability.
And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements.
– Stefan Zweig
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Individuality|minute motivation
My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you suppose I care? A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others!
My manner of thinking stems straight from my considered reflections; it holds with my existence, with the way I am made. It is not in my power to alter it; and were it, I’d not do so.
– Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade
Do not seek approval or change your individuality.
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Thought and action |minute motivation
To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking.
Don't just keep this to yourself:
Don’t fake it till you make it
You’ve heard the term, “fake it till you make it”. It’s the catch phrase of many mentoring gurus and get successful experts. But I’m here to tell you what may shock you. Don’t do it.
You may ask why?
I mean, how else would you get somewhere without putting up an image. My reply to this is that creating an image for yourself doesn’t have to do with faking it. Proclaiming titles and Image enhancing attributes doesn’t mean acting like you
are an expert on what you aren’t yet.
Faking it breeds bad reputation and when people find out, you lose any legitimacy that you had before.
What then?
Be honest about your journey, growth and were you see yourself going. People would relate and applaud your honesty. They would see you as someone with integrity.
Remember, any skill can be learnt but honesty is a value
