Inspiration, Motivation & Quotes

Two Activities
Average people do not do enough of these

two very beneficial activities: reading and thinking.
Thinking is an activity which sometimes includes non-thinking.

It is also a kind of contemplation which provides true insights.
Concerning reading it will not do you much good unless your reading is broad.

The more widely you read,

the higher chance you will get of reading the right things and spot the wrong things.

News
Negative news spread faster and most effectively

than any other news in our world.

If you get constant exposure to negative news,

you will get a false impression that those news represent your reality.

You should know that there is also good and positive news out there.

Put your attention on the positive side of the interpretation of the news.

You are where your attention is.

Less is More
In our society it is common to want more of everything

and to believe that more is better.

However, real peace of mind comes from the opposite of more: less.

In other words, to accumulate and posses more is not a solution to our problems.

Learning to appreciate that less is more is the way to go.

The Best
We have all been accustomed to the idea of striving for

the best and that being the best is a great thing.

But is it even obtainable?

Well, you have to have passion for it and work constantly for a long period of time.

You should be smart about time management and opportunities.

You also need some natural ability and sometimes luck too.
