Seek Inspiration From Successful People

Your station in life is not set in stone. Your circumstances do not dictate who you are or what you could become. In order to overcome life’s many challenges you need to continually seek advice and inspiration from people who have overcome great obstacles. Here are some of their inspiring words: 1. "The consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past. To change your future, alter your decisions today." ~ Anonymous 2. "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein 3. "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." Abraham Lincoln 4. "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." Alexander Graham Bell 5. "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs Network with people that are accomplishing their goals. Don’t be afraid to solicit feedback from them and learn their secrets to success. Read biographies and books of and by successful people to keep your inspiration at a high level.
