Work your craft; until it becomes an art from.

No matter what it is that you are going through at this very moment, I encourage you to choose perseverance over discouragement. If you hang in strong long enough, sooner or later, this experience would become a thing of the past like the obstacles you defeated in the past.

Den mätta dagen, den är aldrig störstDen bästa dagen, är en dag av törstNog finns det mål och mening i vår färdMen det är vägen, som är mödan värd

This obsession is a curious thing. Sometimes wonder about the merits of devoting so much of myself to a singular climbing objective. Much of the time it beats me down, leaves me hanging my head in despair. But then there are the moments that bring me to life. When excitement wells up inside my chest...

We make a lot of detours, but we’re always heading for the same destination

Still the voices of your critics. Listen intently to your own voice, to the person who knows you best. Then answer these questions: Do you think you should move ahead? How will you feel if you quit pursuing this thing you want to do? And what does your best self advise? What you hear may...

If his decision is correct, he will win the battle, even if it lasts longer than expected. If his decision is wrong, he will be defeated and he will have to start all over again- only this time with more wisdom.But once he has started, a warrior of the light perseveres until the end.

If you are going through hell, keep going.

When a storm comes, bamboo bends. It doesn’t break.

Education is a choice. We don’t become educated by watching television, and we don’t learn a whole lot having similar conversations with the same, safe people day after day. Our education comes from pushing up against boundaries, from taking risks that may seem at first to be overwhelming, and by persevering past the first disappointments...

Failure is not the opposite of success, inaction is.

Only fool keeps mocking perseverance.

Entrepreneurship: you put one dumb foot in front of the other while the world throws bricks at your head.

It is the hardest thing of all, the one thing that will show if you have the one true courage. To know that you have failed, that your best efforts have been defeated, to not be able to stand it, to not be able to go on and yet to go on nonetheless.

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop...

Stick in and do my best.

You never know what’s around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you’ve climbed a mountain.

It is absolutely essential to hang in there—especially when you feel most discouraged.

I pray to God to give me perseverance and to deign that I be a faithful witness to Him to the end of my life for my God.

Ye are most strong, ye Sons of the icy North, of the far East, far marching from your rugged Eastern Wildernesses, hither-ward from the gray Dawn of Time! Ye are Sons of the Jotun-land; the land of Difficulties Conquered. Difficult? You must try this thing. Once try it with the understanding that it will and...

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, butfor the heart to conquer it.

When I have tried and failed, I shall have failed.

Opportunity is another word for moving on. And it is a word choice, which is often the wiser. If the well gets poisoned, move to a meadow of merriment, where your hearts will echo the more.

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.

Whoever is present in your spring would more than likely have respected your winter.

To many people fall short of their goals because they mistakenly believe that losing is just another comfortable place to sit.

You are too important to the bigger picture to just fall off the canvas.

Whatever you do, listen for your inner voice. Do not ignore it.

You matter. Your heart matters.

Find your ‘why’. Give your life meaning.

Where you stand depends on where you sit.

You have been called. Know that. Understand that. Imprint it deep in your heart and set out on your mission in whatever way you can, here and now! The world is waiting for you.

Awakening others is an impossible endeavor until I myself am awakened.

Gratitude heals, cleanses and purifies.

Practice unfettered living from the heart, abandoning all self-imposed limitations to emerge a new, creativity unleashed, giving of yourself like never before.

Be the light. Be the love. Not to one or two selectively, but to each person who crosses your path today and every day.

Within you exists the same power that rests with the Universe, for you are not separate from the source you pray to.

Do not turn to prayer only in times of grief, suffering and rage. Make prayer a habit whether you are blissful or sorrowful, serene or upset, clear or confused.

From today, may you cease to exist except as an expression of the divine intention of your Creator. May you tune in to the celestial melody of love, compassion and courage each and every moment of the day. May all the relationships in your life represent the perfect opportunities to fulfill your true calling.

Our eternal existence depends not on how much we have, or the network and power structure we have attained, and definitely not on our title or accomplishments at work. It depends on how much courage we exhibit in difficult times, the number of people we bring a smile to, and our sincerity at work, home...

Be thankful for all you gain. Be thankful for what you lose, too. Find a reason each day to celebrate your life.

When in prayer, there is no need to implore, beg or repeat. You have been heard, and your wishes will be granted perfectly at the right time. Relax, be patient and do not fret.

There is no “can’t” in martial arts. It is perfectly all right for students to state that they are “still working on it”, “have not mastered it yet”, or “are trying as best they can” as all of those sentiments reflect willingness and perseverance. It is not all right, on the other hand, to verbally...

You can only kill disappointment with a new try.

When it comes to human success, I’m pretty sure the object doesn’t need a net external force to move it.

Leaders respond & change; the rest quit and blame.

He whines, he complains, he ducks out of the most obvious responsibility. He is vain, petty and maddening, but he doesn’t ever quit.

You can either hold onto your dream by letting go of your excuses or hold onto your excuses by letting go of your dream.

Never lose your passion 2 dream.

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.
