“Your brain can be a real challenge sometimes, but you can tame that beast. It just takes practice, patience, and consistency.
Instead of letting negativity win, fight back with positivity and grace—you’ll thank yourself for it in the end.”

“Yeah, I loved playing with Metta. He was able to deal with, and even sought out tough love. He wanted me to let him know, ‘Look, enough of that. We’re going to win a championship, so don’t mess it up.’ Most people wouldn’t do that with him. They were either intimidated or scared by how he might respond. He knew I wasn’t, and he respected that. – Kobe Bryant
When people hold you to high standards, take that as a compliment.
If they think you aren’t worth a damn, they wouldn’t even waste their time telling you that you’re “better than that”.
Tell people that you want fair criticism because it helps you grow. Their respect for you will grow.

“Remember that a man’s name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in the English language.” – Dale Carnegie.
Everybody is the star of their own movie.
Don’t forget this when somebody chooses their own needs over yours, or prefers to believe what they believe over what you’ve told them, no matter how much time, effort and energy you put into gaining said information.

If you have little money and you want to be rich, you must first be focused, not balanced. If you look at any successful person, at the start they were not balanced. Balanced people go nowhere. They stay in one spot. To make progress, you must first go unbalanced. Just look at how you make progress walking. – Robert Kiyosaki
There is such a thing as balance.
There will be times where you work more than you play, and vice versa.
The pendulum swings back and forth. Remember that when you feel like you’re drowning. It will swing back.

Thanks to my dad, I have never been stuck believing that I had to like something in order to commit myself to it. When I was nine years old, I remember watching him working in the yard, picking up pecans, sticks, and leaves and stuffing them into a trash bag. He was doing it so attentively and precisely that it appeared to me that he loved every second of it. I asked him, “Dad, do you like doing that?” He replied, “You don’t always need to like what you do to love what you do.”
Do what you need to do, so that you can do what you want to do. Do what you need to do FIRST, so that you can do what you want to do LATER.
When you do something long enough, you get good at it. Whatever you’re good at, you’ll grow a passion for.
