I was supposed to do a speed run but I read somewhere that long runs also help one improve their speed. Plus, I wanted to discover my wall. It appears that as things stand, my wall is beyond 21Kms. Last year, my wall lied around the 12Kms mark.
For the uninitiated, the wall refers to the point when your glycogen is all used up and the body then has to burn fat to generate more energy. This has to be done aerobically with Oxygen and once a runner hits the wall, they experience extreme fatigue.
So anyway, I completed 21Kms in 1hr 46 Minutes. I have realized that long distances train one to deal with pain. At one time, my right knee had issues, I moved the workload to the left leg and 300m later, the problem was gone and I resumed the balance. At one point, I had some pain in my right hip. Same solution. Gone. I think it has something to do with my being right-handed and I may be overworking my right leg making it provide the drag. But I am watching it.
I have discovered that I am a glutton for distance and need to run shorter distances so that I can concentrate on working on my speed. I feel great though. Today I am on a break. I resume tomorrow. Seven weeks to go then I taper off just before the big day.
Cheers.

One of the first lessons running teaches us about success in athletics and in life is that there is no one else. No one else can do your workouts for you. You alone must do the drills, repeat the core exercises, stretch, and lift the weights.

It is up to you to have the responsibility and self-discipline to get the job done.

Dont live by the scripts handed to you by other people - friends, family etc - because they serve their own agendas and pressures of circumstances. Develop scripts from principles, not from people.
Work on things you have control over. Work on you.
Dont argue for mistakes, whether yours or other peoples. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it and learn from it - immediately.
Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation.
Be driven by values, not feelings.
It does not matter what you do with your money: what matters is what you do with your life.
You don’t need to be taken care of: you are fundamentally ok.
Don’t be afraid of abandonment like a child. Susan Jeffers.
If you haven't risked anything, you haven’t grown or discovered a self that you feel worthy of defending.
Don’t permit any situation to turn you into a person you don’t like.
Fear will never go away as long as you continue to grow. Times of confusion lead to times of clarity.
Watch yourself unfold. Life is a practice.
When being with yourself doesn’t feel like punishment, you have grown up.
Power is having minimal needs. If you make finding another person the object of your search for fulfillment and meaning, you place your destiny in another's hands.
It is better and more realistic to work on your shortcomings and learn to like yourself.
The extent to which you need others defines your potential for desperation.
Never act to avoid being passive or weak.
All news, especially bad news, gives us the opportunity to explore the unused parts of our being.
Whatever happens, you will discover a new and wonderful part of yourself. Susan Jeffers
When you desperately want something to happen, you lose sight of the fact that something IS happening.
Huge advances are not possible without the hard times.
Act like your own hero.
Handle things today but don’t worry about the outcome.
When upset, ask yourself what it is you are hanging on that is causing the upset. When we are finally able to let go of the need to be in control, for the first time, we are truly in control.
Get out of your own way: be flexible and fluid. Say yes.
Don’t wish for anything to happen or not to happen: Just watch it happening and let the wonder of life unfold.
What would you do if you had no fear at all? Act as if you had no fear! Now. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Susan Jeffers
The trick in life is not figuring out what you can get, but what you can give.
Security is not having things: it is handling things.
People who fear cannot genuinely give.
U must become what you want to attract.
When we let someone be who they are without changing them, thats giving away love.
You can only love in proportion to your capacity for independence.
If you haven’t made any mistakes lately, you must be doing something wrong.
It really doesnt matter.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Once you have made a decision, throw away the picture - since you cant control the future. The picture can create unhappiness if it is not fulfilled.
Don’t protect, correct.
Don’t worry about making the wrong decision: learn when to correct them.It is impossible to make a wrong decision because each decision/mistake is an opportunity to learn.
You are not a failure if you don’t make it: you are a success because you try.
Finding out what you don’t like is as valuable as finding what you like. If you don’t succeed in one way, you will find another way.
When you act the giving adult, your fears are diminished.
We can choose our experiences in life.
Money buys distractions, not happiness.
The monkey law: the monkey swinging through the jungle must never let go of an old vine until he has a firm grip on a new one.
Don’t cling to a single scenario; allow yourself many paths to the same destination.
What people expect and what they get often have no correlation. This suggests that our expectations often do us no good.
Our expectations are frequently only veiled versions of our wishes and fears.
People only make their change cleanly overnight in stories told in story-telling conventions.
Dont let myths box you in because you dont have mythical strength.
The hardest thing about doing the right thing is that you usually have to do it alone.
There are no irreversible choices: you close one door and another inevitably opens in front.
Don’t live for anyone's approval.
The good life isn’t something you own: it’s the skills you master.
You can learn as much from mistakes as u can from success.
Don’t make long-term decisions based on your wants.
If u want to give yourself a fair chance to succeed, dont expect too much too soon. Nurture your dreams. It takes time.
Your responsibilities don’t keep you from your purpose: they are part of your purpose.
Dont sacrifice your principles to make it easy for yourself. Dont choose the easy way out.
The test of a person's character is how he behaves during a quarrel.
If you expect someone else to guide you, you will be lost.
When anything is placed on a pedestal beyond criticism, it becomes an idol. Those who seek to screen an idol from criticism only betray their own suspicions about the worthiness of the totem they worship - Paul Tillich.
Take some risks. Your life's goal should never be about being propped up in a cage.
Failure is not about falling down: it’s about staying down.
When faced with difficult circumstances, learn from them. Imagine that you created the situation intentionally. What can you learn from it? How can it be viewed as a positive event? Recognize and let go of the things that add no value to your life.
Your best days are yet to come.
The future isn’t written. There is no fate but what we make of ourselves.
A man who has been challenged, and survived, has props.
I am not responsible for what I was, but I am responsible for what I am and what I hope to become.
What we resist, persists.
Paradox of love: the less you need someone's approval, the more you are able to love them.
What path in life will make you grow? Find it.
Out-talk your negativity.
Ships in the harbor are safe, but that’s not what ships are made of.
A leader should be where the action is and should not get reports filtered by perceptions.
Behaviours are beliefs turned into action. Behaviours deliver the results.
We don’t think ourselves into a new way of acting; we act ourselves into a new way of thinking.
Leaders get back the behaviour they exhibit and tolerate.
Be more what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it oriented.
Getting things done through others is a fundamental leadership skill.
Micromanagers are insecure leaders who cannot trust others to get it right because they (the leaders) don’t know how to calibrate them and monitor their performance.
Everyone has unforeseen events that come along, and the people who ultimately succeed are those who overcome them.
If you cannot describe your strategy in twenty minutes, simply and in plain language, you haven’t got a plan. Every strategy boils down ultimately to a few simple building blocks.
No matter how well you execute, the risk of failure increases markedly when your ideas don’t fit your existing capabilities.
The payoff for blaming others for our misery is not having to create our own happiness: we can simply blame others for not giving it to us.When you are angry at another, ask yourself, what am I not doing in my life that I am blaming him for not doing for me? You will find that you are either feeling insecure, or not creating enough activity for yourself, or expecting them to make 'all better' something you are not handling.
When you correct what needs to be corrected in your life, all your anger towards others disappears.
Before you take any action in life, ask yourself, is this action moving me to a more powerful place?
Be patient with yourself. Growth is a process of trial and error. There is no need to be upset with your past, your present, or your future.
People do the best they can based on their level of personal growth. Its not their fault so do not be angry at them.
Our achievements arose from dissatisfaction.
When you realize that the choices you thought you had and the decisions you thought were yours are already made, that is fate/destiny.
Never give other people the power to define you. Don’t give away power to anyone—your teachers, your parents, your friends. Angelo Pizzo - Screewriter
You don’t grow and change in good times. Crises help you to grow and alter your character and make you strong. Embrace them.
What you do changes you. You cannot do something cruel and not be cruel so dont engage in bad habits because man is a creature of habit.
Thoughts become things.
Shift your awareness and create your universe.
Dont focus on survival: focus on significance.
Fully invest your energy in what you do.
Capacity is what you can handle and how much you can take.
Do not be content with a few victories: develop capacity for greater victory and have a huge cup because small cups overflow. Be a giant. Make giant steps.
Whatever your circumstances, remember that they make your CURRENT reality. Start thinking not of what is, but what you want. Do not define yourself by your current state of affairs because that way, you doom yourself to the present yet the future is infinite and full of abundance.
Habituate a positive, happy, enthusiastic and fired-up way of being. Decide what you want and believe that you deserve it. Enjoy its vision and live it.
Whatever you can imagine you can achieve.
If you know your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good. You would free yourself from that cumbersome impossibility of the need to control the world, or control your mate.
If you still have your mind, nothing is impossible.
Focus on what you want, not what you dont want. Instead of being anti-war, be pro-peace.
Because, as Carl Jung said, what you resist, persists.
There is abundance in life. Enough for everyone. Let the variety of your reality free you. When everybody goes for what they truly want, there will be enough for everyone.
Ask yourself: DO THE RESULTS YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT? ARE THEY WORTHY OF YOU?
If not, now is the time to change that.
All power is within and therefore under your control - Robert Collier.
We are unlimited beings. Whatever you make your purpose becomes your purpose.
Anything that makes you feel good is always going to draw in more good things. Inner happiness is the fuel of success. Find something that feels good - that resonates in your heart. Joseph Campbell wrote Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you
There is no failure, there is only the next race - StyrofoamDeity - an UltraMarathoner
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain

Who said it could not be done? And tell me what great victories does he have to his credit which qualifies him to judge what can and can't be accomplished. --Napoleon Hill.
About Branding Yourself: You need a brand for yourself in order to differentiate yourself and to set yourself apart from the pack.
Who do people say you are?
You thrive and triumph by enhancing your own brand.
Ask yourself: What do you want your brand to reflect? What r u doing to enhance your brand?
Seize the day. Don’t stand in the way.
Competitiveness = What you know + Who you know
Your brand should say: who you are, what you do and how you do it. A brand is a promise. When challenged, hold on: Take the path less traveled.
The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself.
Common sense are the prejudices you have gathered by the time you are 18 - leave your baggage behind and take yourself to new heights.

The only easy day was yesterday- Mathew Eliott
A glass of orange or carrot juice, which contains 12-15 teaspoons of sugar, if taken at a time when you are not active should be considered a recreational drug and not a health food.
The Key to success is motivation. What gets you out of the bed in the morning and what keeps you going when your body screams at you to quit. Find what motivates you, use it and never look back. It might just change your life forever. Alex Vero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyMwrm_oNU

One of the first lessons running teaches us about success in athletics and in life is that there is no one else. No one else can do your workouts for you. You alone must do the drills, repeat the core exercises, stretch, and lift the weights. You cannot hire someone else to do your cross-training when you are battling injury, or pay someone to run a race and get you a new PR. You are truly your own hero in running. It is up to you to have the responsibility and self-discipline to get the job done.
Adam Goucher, in Walking the Line Between Tough and Stupid.
If you can’t define it or act upon it, forget it.
Don't kill yourself by running your intervals too hard, it's better to be consistent than to be Superman for a day.
In the long run every man gets in life about what he deserves. The vision of that truth embraces many things which the objector will not see. The objector mistakes what he desires for what he deserves. Hence the importance of self-discovery in life's conduct.

Every man has some one supreme possibility within his make up. The purposeful will usually discovers this. - Frank C Haddock, Power of Will

"More moderate in all things." this is generally taken as good advice. But you know what? A person can get too much of this moderate stuff. Who wants to live a life that's always safe, controlled, aiming for the middle path?
Every once in a while I still want to feel the burn. To push to the limit. To be near collapse when I cross the finish line. Sure, I already know the result: It will be shown that I'm older and slower than I was yesterday and the day before that. I don't need a race to tell me these things.
"You can quit, and no one will care if you do. But you will know." ~John Collins, Ironman founder~
But a race says I'm not ready to surrender. It says I'm going to keep struggling to squeeze all I can out of this life. It says I'm not checking out of here until I've given it my all. Yes, I know I'm gonna die some day.
But I have a good feeling about tomorrow's race.
The satisfaction from running. I think it has multiple levels. One is just getting away from everything else. Another is the meditative aspect on easy long runs. Another is intellectual - learning and understanding the principles of training. And another is primal - just feeling like a biological entity.

If my muscles ache, it’s because I have used them.
Victory is preserved for those who are willing to pay the price. Sun Tzu
There can never truly be a selfless act:- we always do what we want, whether what we want is base or noble - Richard Carrier
The biggest failure is never taking a shot.
No failure can diminish your value as a person: you will still be who you are.
The greatest success is obtained by those that don't fear the risk of failure.
“We should not pray for easier life but pray to be strong men!” JFK
Money only magnifies who we already are.
Nothing worth doing can be done overnight.
If you want to give yourself a fair chance to succeed, don’t expect too much too soon.
No one ever wins a war.
Most things that happen to you are inconsequential in the long run. Always put things in perspective.
What we keep owns us: what we give away sets us free.
At your highest self, you possess nothing.
Your significance is in your being, not in your possessions.
If you trust your power you won’t fear the future.
Every end marks the beginning of a new thing.
A leader who surrounds himself with yes-men is like pilots flying blind with instruments that don’t give him their true readings but what he wants.
You can judge a leader by the problem he tackles - people always pick a problem their own size, and ignore or leave others to the bigger or smaller ones.
Before you take action, ask yourself, is this action taking me to a more powerful place?
You can’t lose regardless of the outcome of your decision because every outcome is a learning opportunity and an opportunity for growth.
There is no such thing as a right decision or a wrong decision: just different ones.
If you haven't made any mistakes lately, you must be doing something wrong.
If you are not making any mistakes, you are not learning and growing.
Correct principles don't change. Principles don't react to anything. They don't get mad and treat us differently.
People cannot live with change if there is not a changeless core inside them.
The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are and what you value.
Loss of control is not loss of self.
If you are unhappy in a relationship, it is not your partner's responsibility to tell you what to do about your unhappiness.
Every conflict can be a source of learning and healing.
The highest reward for a man's work is not what he gets from it but what he becomes from it.
Don’t live in the past: the past makes us who we are and there is still a lot that can happen to us. Today doesn't know what tomorrow could bring.
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. James D. Miles
Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
George Bernard Shaw: This is the true joy in life… being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one…being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and so long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. For the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is not a brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I've got to hold up for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
Every obnoxious act is a cry for help.
Impatience is a sign of lack of focus.
Every act of creation involves destruction.
There is no free lunch. You have to give something up in order to attain something grander. You have to know what you are willing to give up to attain your goals.
In order to attain your long-term goals, you have to focus on the short-term. The real work gets done in the short term, not in the long term. Set small goals and achieve them. Day by day, week by week.
Every day is an opportunity to move ahead with your goals.
Leaders Do. Leaders Act.
After making a decision, act with conviction.
Not everyone has your dreams or desires so don’t expect them to act like you do.
Don’t hold onto things. You are fundamentally sound without things. When you hold onto something, you are stuck. When you let it go, you are free.
Where you are does not determine what you are. You decide who you are.
It’s all good.
There are no wrong decisions: just different ones.
Reside permanently in the Discomfort Zone - Tom Peters
Growth is a Choice, not a chance event.
Be relentless.
My life is my message - Gandhi
Do one thing every day that scares you - Eleanor Roosevelt
The only thing you have power over is to get good at what you do. That is all there is: there ain’t no more - Sally Field.
The problem is rarely/Never the problem. The RESPONSE to the problem invariably ends up being the problem - RMN Stewart, WJC
Build on Strengths - Tom Peters
Leaders Allow people to discover their own greatness.
If it works, its obsolete - Marshall McLuhan
Leaders know when to wait.
Leaders are optimists. Leaders Focus.
Have a To DON'T list. And list three things that you wont do. Three only.
Leaders make lots of mistakes and make no bones about it.
Fail faster. Succeed Sooner.
Leaders make big mistakes
Do stuff that matters and make your mark.
The deepest human need is the need to be appreciated.
You cant lead a calvary charge if you think you look funny on a horse - John Peers, President, Local Machine Corporation.
Paint Portraits of Excellence.
No problems=No Progress. Period - Tom Peters
You have to water the flowers you want to grow.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is a habit. Not an act.
Its not what happens to us, but our responses to what happens to us that hurts us. We have the response-ability always: we should act, not be acted upon.
When you let bad things stop you, you won’t be there for the good things.
Maturity is a balance between courage and consideration.
Celebrate life and enjoy the lessons as it unfolds.
Proactive people subordinate feelings to values.
Every conflict can be a source of learning and healing.You can change your usual ways of reacting (during conflict) by thinking about your choices and gaining mastery over your actions. Our perception of others can create conflict in us.
Yielding (letting go) is a sign of wellness.
Control over others is an illusion - the answer is letting go. Dependency is for childhood. Don’t depend of anybody or anything for your happiness. Independence is not healthy either. Interdependence is the ideal.
I am not suspicious: I am experienced.
Be a trained person, not a tough person. Tough aint enough.
Channel your energies towards activities that make you a better person.
With the time you waste on a life you never had, you can make yourself a better person.
No man can be a hero all his life unless that life is a short one.
Determine to be more that average. When you devote yourself to one ideal, you will become extraordinary.
Don’t edit out important pieces of your life (stories) in order to make them more presentable to others. Embrace your luck, pain and ghosts.
A life without battle is a life without victory.
Do not reduce your life to a number of consumption experiences: seek a higher purpose.
When you tell someone I cannot live without you and mean it, you are suffering from a failure of vision because you are incapable of conceiving a greater good for yourself than having that person: that you cannot take care of yourself except by having a relationship with that person. - Source is anonymous
(For the lonely) How can you expect anyone to enjoy your company if you don't like your own company?
You are the Solution for you. Build yourself to fullness and when you are overflowing, you can share that. Dont get into a relationship if you feel lonely or empty alone because you will be imprisoning yourself.
Losing all hope is freedom. What is done is done.
The highest reward from your work is not what you get from it but what you become from it.
Enjoy your life for what it is and do not worry about what it is not.
Train yourself to let go of everything you are afraid to lose.
It’s only after we have lost everything that we are free to do anything - Fight Club.
Evolve and let the chips fall where they will.
If you want to change and haven’t changed, you don’t want it badly enough.
Do not neglect yourself. Even if you lose everything, always leave something for yourself.
Be your own best friend. Never ever, put yourself down.
Don’t let fear guard the gates. Subdue your fears and you invite the truth into your life.
From our deepest wounds come our greatest gifts.
Don’t mistake you career for your life.
The way the dice falls doesn't always determine whether we win or lose.
You can find on the outside only what you can possess on the inside. Adolfo M. B.
Throw away your crutch. You crutch is whatever you have relied on too heavily along the way. It is whatever you secretly fear you cannot succeed or be happy without.
Attack your fears.
Failure is hard but success in the wrong thing can lock you in forever.
Dont mistake intensity for passion.
Don’t confuse commitment with hours.
Don’t confuse efforts with results.
Dont confuse activity with progress.
The greatest enemy of progress is success.
Sameness is not oneness; uniformity is not unity - unity is complimentariness. The essence of synergy is to value the differences.
People see the world, not as it is, but as they are.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I can become my own first creator. I can change. I can live out my imagination.
People can’t live with change if there is not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value.
Dont live by the scripts handed to you by other people - friends, family etc - because they serve their own agendas and pressures of circumstances. Develop scripts from principles, not from people.
Work on things you have control over. Work on you.
Dont argue for mistakes, whether yours or other peoples. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it and learn from it - immediately.
Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation.
Be driven by values, not feelings.
It does not matter what you do with your money: what matters is what you do with your life.
You don’t need to be taken care of: you are fundamentally ok.
Don’t be afraid of abandonment like a child. Susan Jeffers.
If you haven't risked anything, you haven’t grown or discovered a self that you feel worthy of defending.
Don’t permit any situation to turn you into a person you don’t like.
Fear will never go away as long as you continue to grow. Times of confusion lead to times of clarity.
Watch yourself unfold. Life is a practice.
When being with yourself doesn’t feel like punishment, you have grown up.
Power is having minimal needs. If you make finding another person the object of your search for fulfillment and meaning, you place your destiny in another's hands.
It is better and more realistic to work on your shortcomings and learn to like yourself.
The extent to which you need others defines your potential for desperation.
Never act to avoid being passive or weak.
All news, especially bad news, gives us the opportunity to explore the unused parts of our being.
Whatever happens, you will discover a new and wonderful part of yourself. Susan Jeffers
When you desperately want something to happen, you lose sight of the fact that something IS happening.
Huge advances are not possible without the hard times.
Act like your own hero.
Handle things today but don’t worry about the outcome.
When upset, ask yourself what it is you are hanging on that is causing the upset. When we are finally able to let go of the need to be in control, for the first time, we are truly in control.
Get out of your own way: be flexible and fluid. Say yes.
Don’t wish for anything to happen or not to happen: Just watch it happening and let the wonder of life unfold.
What would you do if you had no fear at all? Act as if you had no fear! Now. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Susan Jeffers
The trick in life is not figuring out what you can get, but what you can give.
Security is not having things: it is handling things.
People who fear cannot genuinely give.
U must become what you want to attract.
When we let someone be who they are without changing them, thats giving away love.
You can only love in proportion to your capacity for independence.
If you haven’t made any mistakes lately, you must be doing something wrong.
It really doesnt matter.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Once you have made a decision, throw away the picture - since you cant control the future. The picture can create unhappiness if it is not fulfilled.
Don’t protect, correct.
Don’t worry about making the wrong decision: learn when to correct them.It is impossible to make a wrong decision because each decision/mistake is an opportunity to learn.
You are not a failure if you don’t make it: you are a success because you try.
Finding out what you don’t like is as valuable as finding what you like. If you don’t succeed in one way, you will find another way.
When you act the giving adult, your fears are diminished.
We can choose our experiences in life.
Money buys distractions, not happiness.
The monkey law: the monkey swinging through the jungle must never let go of an old vine until he has a firm grip on a new one.
Don’t cling to a single scenario; allow yourself many paths to the same destination.
What people expect and what they get often have no correlation. This suggests that our expectations often do us no good.
Our expectations are frequently only veiled versions of our wishes and fears.
People only make their change cleanly overnight in stories told in story-telling conventions.
Dont let myths box you in because you dont have mythical strength.
The hardest thing about doing the right thing is that you usually have to do it alone.
There are no irreversible choices: you close one door and another inevitably opens in front.
Don’t live for anyone's approval.
The good life isn’t something you own: it’s the skills you master.
You can learn as much from mistakes as u can from success.
Don’t make long-term decisions based on your wants.
If u want to give yourself a fair chance to succeed, dont expect too much too soon. Nurture your dreams. It takes time.
Your responsibilities don’t keep you from your purpose: they are part of your purpose.
Dont sacrifice your principles to make it easy for yourself. Dont choose the easy way out.
The test of a person's character is how he behaves during a quarrel.
If you expect someone else to guide you, you will be lost.
When anything is placed on a pedestal beyond criticism, it becomes an idol. Those who seek to screen an idol from criticism only betray their own suspicions about the worthiness of the totem they worship - Paul Tillich.
Take some risks. Your life's goal should never be about being propped up in a cage.
Failure is not about falling down: it’s about staying down.
When faced with difficult circumstances, learn from them. Imagine that you created the situation intentionally. What can you learn from it? How can it be viewed as a positive event? Recognize and let go of the things that add no value to your life.
Your best days are yet to come.
The future isn’t written. There is no fate but what we make of ourselves.
A man who has been challenged, and survived, has props.
I am not responsible for what I was, but I am responsible for what I am and what I hope to become.
What we resist, persists.
Paradox of love: the less you need someone's approval, the more you are able to love them.
What path in life will make you grow? Find it.
Out-talk your negativity.
Ships in the harbor are safe, but that’s not what ships are made of.
A leader should be where the action is and should not get reports filtered by perceptions.
Behaviours are beliefs turned into action. Behaviours deliver the results.
We don’t think ourselves into a new way of acting; we act ourselves into a new way of thinking.
Leaders get back the behaviour they exhibit and tolerate.
Be more what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it oriented.
Getting things done through others is a fundamental leadership skill.
Micromanagers are insecure leaders who cannot trust others to get it right because they (the leaders) don’t know how to calibrate them and monitor their performance.
Everyone has unforeseen events that come along, and the people who ultimately succeed are those who overcome them.
If you cannot describe your strategy in twenty minutes, simply and in plain language, you haven’t got a plan. Every strategy boils down ultimately to a few simple building blocks.
No matter how well you execute, the risk of failure increases markedly when your ideas don’t fit your existing capabilities.
The payoff for blaming others for our misery is not having to create our own happiness: we can simply blame others for not giving it to us.When you are angry at another, ask yourself, what am I not doing in my life that I am blaming him for not doing for me? You will find that you are either feeling insecure, or not creating enough activity for yourself, or expecting them to make 'all better' something you are not handling.
When you correct what needs to be corrected in your life, all your anger towards others disappears.
Before you take any action in life, ask yourself, is this action moving me to a more powerful place?
Be patient with yourself. Growth is a process of trial and error. There is no need to be upset with your past, your present, or your future.
People do the best they can based on their level of personal growth. Its not their fault so do not be angry at them.
Our achievements arose from dissatisfaction.
When you realize that the choices you thought you had and the decisions you thought were yours are already made, that is fate/destiny.
Never give other people the power to define you. Don’t give away power to anyone—your teachers, your parents, your friends. Angelo Pizzo - Screewriter
You don’t grow and change in good times. Crises help you to grow and alter your character and make you strong. Embrace them.
What you do changes you. You cannot do something cruel and not be cruel so dont engage in bad habits because man is a creature of habit.
Thoughts become things.
Shift your awareness and create your universe.
Dont focus on survival: focus on significance.
Fully invest your energy in what you do.
Capacity is what you can handle and how much you can take.
Do not be content with a few victories: develop capacity for greater victory and have a huge cup because small cups overflow. Be a giant. Make giant steps.
Whatever your circumstances, remember that they make your CURRENT reality. Start thinking not of what is, but what you want. Do not define yourself by your current state of affairs because that way, you doom yourself to the present yet the future is infinite and full of abundance.
Habituate a positive, happy, enthusiastic and fired-up way of being. Decide what you want and believe that you deserve it. Enjoy its vision and live it.
Whatever you can imagine you can achieve.
If you know your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good. You would free yourself from that cumbersome impossibility of the need to control the world, or control your mate.
If you still have your mind, nothing is impossible.
Focus on what you want, not what you dont want. Instead of being anti-war, be pro-peace.
Because, as Carl Jung said, what you resist, persists.
There is abundance in life. Enough for everyone. Let the variety of your reality free you. When everybody goes for what they truly want, there will be enough for everyone.
Ask yourself: DO THE RESULTS YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT? ARE THEY WORTHY OF YOU?
If not, now is the time to change that.
All power is within and therefore under your control - Robert Collier.
We are unlimited beings. Whatever you make your purpose becomes your purpose.
Anything that makes you feel good is always going to draw in more good things. Inner happiness is the fuel of success. Find something that feels good - that resonates in your heart. Joseph Campbell wrote Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you
There is no failure, there is only the next race - StyrofoamDeity - an UltraMarathoner
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action. -- Benjamin Disraeli
Who said it could not be done? And tell me what great victories does he have to his credit which qualifies him to judge what can and can't be accomplished. --Napoleon Hill.
About Branding Yourself: You need a brand for yourself in order to differentiate yourself and to set yourself apart from the pack.
Who do people say you are?
You thrive and triumph by enhancing your own brand.
Ask yourself: What do you want your brand to reflect? What r u doing to enhance your brand?
Seize the day. Don’t stand in the way.
Competitiveness = What you know + Who you know
Your brand should say: who you are, what you do and how you do it. A brand is a promise. When challenged, hold on: Take the path less traveled.
The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself.
Common sense are the prejudices you have gathered by the time you are 18 - leave your baggage behind and take yourself to new heights.
Never, ever, ever, be scared to fail. Ever.
Booker T Washington defines Excellence as doing a common thing in an uncommon way. Do the ordinary things thoroughly and that will lead you to excellence. Break away from the pack.
Set your Goals. Goals are set. Values are lived. Values Guide. Goals drive.Values are for today. Goals are for the future.
Good managers don’t push: they motivate.
A picture is worth a thousand words and a model is worth a thousand pictures.
If you can’t describe it, you can’t create it.
A revolution is simply the gap between the ages.
Crash diets crash
A fool with a tool is still a fool.
Invention is a function of time, not personality. When the world is ready for something, it will appear.
All goals must be SMART. If we don't have SMART goals, we cannot be smart.
Platitudes (statements of desire) are not goals. State the mechanism for achieving the goals.
The best way to predict the future is by creating it.
It doesn't matter where you are at, at the time you begin to dream. Kai Greene
Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work. Gustave Flauberr
