When you want something, you have never had, you have to do something you have never done.
Everything is okay in the end, if it’s not OK, then it’s not the end.
Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.
You don’t drown by falling in water. You drown by staying there.
In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took.
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.

You’ve got to follow your passion. You’ve got to figure out what it is you love–who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.
Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leaves a trail.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.
If someone wants to be a part of your life, they’ll make an effort to be in it so don’t bother reserving a space in your heart for someone who doesn’t make an effort to stay.
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.
If people are doubting how far you can go, go so far that you can’t hear them anymore.
We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes – understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.
Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
Everything you can imagine is real.
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Do one thing every day that scares you.”
Smart people learn from everything and everyone, average people from their experiences, stupid people already have all the answers.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It’s what you’re made of. Not the circumstances.
If we have the attitude that it’s going to be a great day it usually is.

No one is to blame for your future situation but yourself. If you want to be successful, then become “Successful.
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Every sucessful person in the world is a hustler one way or another. We all hustle to get where we need to be. Only a fool would sit around and wait on another man to feed him.”
Invest in your dreams. Grind now. Shine later.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
