What do you
want: The
pain of
staying where
you are, or
the pain of
growth?
9
 Attention is the
oxygen of worry.
When you worry too
much about a
problem, you breathe
too much life into it.
When you starve it of
your attention, you
suffocate it.
 Life continues to
happen outside what
you worry about.
What else is
important that
deserves your
attention?

11
Regret makes you
concentrate on
the opportunities
you’ve lost and
prevents you from
seeing the doors
opened by
same decision.
Now that you
are here,
what are you
going to build
with what you
have?

13
 There
are no
failures.
Only
feedbacks.
 Don't waste a
mistake by not
learning from it.

15
 If you want to make the
wrong decision, ask everyone.
Trust your gut.

17
Right actions
taken now are the
best apologies for
bad actions taken
in the past.
Apologize to your past.

19
Time heals almost anything.
Give Time time
 In the meantime, occupy your mind with
something else. What about that business
idea you’ve always wanted to develop?

If something
can be
destroyed
by the truth,
it should be.
Why build a castle on a
foundation that must
collapse someday?

Get up. Get to work.

25
If you can’t you'll have to
change a change how
situation, you see it.
 Adversity can be
opportunity, if
you dare to look at
it differently.

27
Whatever
is not
forever
can be
endured
however.
 Soon, it's all
going to be over.

29
You are
not born
a winner

You are
not born
a loser

You are
born
a chooser
Always remember
that you have a
choice.

You have a choice.

31
Grow through
what you
go through.
When life is
teaching you a
lesson, take
note. You will
need it for the
test ahead.

33
 He is
lifeless
that is
faultless.
 Stop dwelling on your weakness,
there’s your strength to work on.
How about you start working on that?

35
 Defeat is not
bitter unless
you swallow it.
You can lose many battles
and still win the war.

Remain undefeated.

37
Whoever is
trying to bring
you down is
already below
you.

Whoever
 On your way up,
some people will
try to drag you
down to their level.
Shake them off
and keep climbing.

39
Expecting anyone to
do anything for you
is ceding control
of your life.
You can't wait
forever. Get
moving. What are
the alternatives?

41
When a negative thought
sneaks in, think positive.

43
 Fear
doesn’t
prevent
death, it
prevents
life.
 Being afraid
doesn't prevent
what's feared.
Having a strategy
can help.

45
Don’t look
where
you’ve
fallen into
but where
d
you slippe .
The most obvious cause is
not always the most
significant. Look back
again, what really made
you fall?

47
 THERE
ARE NO
FACTS.
ONLY
INTERPRETATIONS.
How you choose
to see now will
impact the rest
of your life.
49
 Nobody deserves
your tears, but
whoever deserves
them will not make
you cry.
Lovers don't
hurt but users
do. Is it still love
if the other
wants you to
suffer?

51
An old man told his grandson:
"My son, there's a battle
between two wolves inside us
all. One is Evil. It's anger,
jealousy, greed, resentment,
inferiority, lies and ego.

The other is Good. It's joy,

peace, love, hope, humility,
kindness and truth."

The boy thought about it and

asked: "Grandfather, which
wolf wins?". The old man
quietly replied: "The one you
feed”.
Feed what you want to grow.

53
Running away from
the problem only
distances you from
the solution.
 The problem
won’t fix itself. At
some point, you
will have to
engage with it.

Why not now?

55
The reason why we struggle
with insecurity is because
we compare our behind the
scenes with everyone else’s
highlight reel.
There are more to others than
what you see. There are more
to you than your flaws.

57
 Holding on to
anger is like
grabbing a hot
coal with the
intent of throwing
it at someone else.
You are the one
who gets burned.
Let go.

59
 stum A
may ble
pre
ven
a t
fall.
 You are
still
standing.
And
it's for
a
reason.
Discover
it.

61
 If plan A
doesn’t
work, the
alphabet has
24 more
letters.
There’s always a better way.

63
Have a game plan,
not a blame plan.
 When you take
responsibility, you take
back the power to fix
things.

What’s your game plan?

65
 Today's reality started as a
thought yesterday. What
you want to become should
occupy your thought.

67
When you walk through a
crowd with your eyes fixed
on your destination, the
crowd will make way.
When you decide your
destination, the universe
will make a way.

Where are you heading to?

69
 Do not base
your decisions
on the advice
of people who
do not have to
deal with the
consequences.
 Every word of
advice is a raw
material. It’s up
to you to create
the product you
need.

71
 It is only in
our decisions
that we are
important.
People will make
decisions that will impact
you. It’s up to you to
decide what to do with
those decisions.

It’s your job to prioritize

you.

73
 If you
don’t know
you very well,
people will tell you
their version of you
that they have pieced
from little knowledge of you.
And you will believe it.
Be you.

75
 You deserve to be
treated right. Don’t
settle for less.

77
Be fire. Use the fear as
fuel, the chaos as coal.

Come out of it bigger

and better.

79
 It is better
to conquer
grief than
to deceive it.
 It feels
insurmountable
because you have not
started climbing it.

Take the first step.

81
 Winners
are ex-losers
that never
gave up
Whatever happens,
don’t lose your
belief in you. You
need it for your
eventual win.

83
This too shall pass.

85
DO IT TREMBLINGLY
DO IT AFRAID
BUT DO IT
JUST DO IT.
The time is always
right to do the
right thing.

87
 Good doesn’t
drive out evil, evil
doesn’t drive out
good. It’s only
active actions
that drive out passive
ones.
 Not doing isn’t helping.
You can’t surrender to the
situation and hope for the best.

Do something.

89
 What generates
passion and zeal in
you is a clue to
revealing your destiny.

Go ahead, open your

gift.

91
Run

towards

something,

not away
from

something.
 Quitting is not a strategy.
It must be done with a goal in
mind. What’s the goal?

93
Stop. Just stop.

95
If it is not
said, it is
not heard.
Don't speak with your
mood or attitude. They
are ambiguous.

Speak out. Say what you

feel, precisely.

97
unfriend the unfriendly

99
Fear is a reaction, courage
a decision. Courage is not
the absence of fear, it is
moving despite fear.
Having a plan is
what makes fear
into courage. If
you were not
afraid, what will
your plan be?

101
 If something is
important to you,
you’ll find a way.
If not, an excuse.
What did you say was
your reason for not
getting it done?

103
 Luck
is when
preparation
meets
opportunities.
Opportunity is the person,
not the situation. Are you
more prepared for what
you want than anyone
you’ve ever met?

Are you?

105
You miss
100% of
the
chance
you
never
took.
Give it a shot. At least.

107
 Today is the first day of the rest of
your life and it has no mistake in it.
The rest of your life is a blank sheet. What story do you want to write on it?

109
 Worrying is using
your imagination
to create something
you don’t want.
Worrying is not
brainstorming,
no good idea will
come out of it.

What's the way

forward?

111
 You cannot discover
new lands until you
have the courage to
lose sight of the shore.
You cannot
become what you
want to be by
remaining who
you are.

Discover what else

is to you.

113
If you look
for the bad
in people,
you would
surely find
it.
 Don’t
cast the
stone,
put it
down.
Look at
your
own
flaws,
what
are you
doing
about
it?
115
Some get
angry
because
God put
thorns on
roses.
Others
praise Him
for
putting
roses
among
thorns.
 It could have been
worse, but it isn’t.

Gradually, you'll find it

within you to build up
on what’s left.

117
If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure,
you will fail above everyone else's success.
 You're
always
ahead of
those who
never tried.

119
 Never give up on a
dream because of
the time it will take
to accomplish it.
The time will pass
anyway.
 Get started now.
You'd look back at
this moment and
you would be happy
you gave it a try.

121
 HE WHO
HAS A
WHY TO
LIVE CAN
BEAR
ALMOST
ANY HOW
To make life's troubles
smaller, find a purpose
that is bigger than you.

123
 A happy life is
just a string of
happy moments.
But most people don’t
allow the happy
moment because
they are so busy
trying to get a
happy life.
 Why wait for the happy
life when you can create
the happy moments
now?

125
Impossible is just a big
word thrown around by
small men who find it
easier to live in the world
they’ve been given than
to explore the power
they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact.
It’s an opinion.
Impossible is not a
declaration. It’s a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing.
It's possible.

127
 Remember
today is the
tomorrow
you worried
about yesterday
 Things don’t
mostly turn
out as bad as
feared.

It won’t.

129
No matter what,
nobody can take
away the dances
you’ve already
had.
 Happy moments
collected are
yours
forever. And
there’s still time
to collect even
more.
