A lot of people seem to get this consciously but have not yet internalized it completely. Many people tell themselves exactly what they want in a partner or a relationship. It should be like this, it should be like that. But they forget that in order to get this kind of quality relationship, THEY as well have to become something more. In fact, they have to become exactly the kind of person they...
#49 – Without A Good Reason There Is No Action
Whenever you tell yourself that you should do this or you should do that, you will never push yourself to actually doing it unless there is a certain need to do so. It says that humans are this “always-striving-for-perfection” and ever-growing race that always wants to improve and keep moving forward, but to be honest, we are pretty dumb in that regards. It is very easy for us to fall...
#48 – Focusing On Outcome VS Focusing On Output
Today I finished reading Michael Ellsberg’s The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won’t Learn in College About How to Be Successful. A great book about a very successful man who made it all happen without any kind of degree or special education. After reading this book you have absolutely NO reason why you should not be able to achieve anything you want out of life. By giving...

#45 – Let Go Of Your Story To Allow Yourself To Write A New One
Sometimes we get a little bit too attached to what we believe we are! Being able to let go is key, if you set out for some drastic change in your life. I found that the most successful people in the world are the ones that are also the most flexible. Although they have a clear vision for themselves and for their life goals, they are not focused on only one solution to reach them. They have in...
#44 – Whatever You Have To Say Has Huge Value
There is no reason why you and the stuff you have to say is not good enough. Whatever you say has value, simply by the fact that you say it. This is the attitude you should keep in mind for yourself. You are unique and whatever story or opinion you can tell other people is solely influenced by YOUR years of experience and YOUR life. There is NOBODY on this earth who has experienced the same as...
#43 – Deciding Against The Safer Option Is The Safer Option
Sometimes you have to take a leap of trust, you have to go a path you have never walked and even if its final destination might be unsure. You know you have to walk it and go on with your journey. You have to leave your known territory behind to make room for new stuff, something better. There are times in your life where you have to decide against the good to make room for the great! When you...
#42 – Everyone Has The Same Issues
Whenever you are facing a difficult situation in your life and you feel powerless and maybe do not know what to do next, think about this: Everybody has the same issues and challenges. There is nobody who is excluded of being afraid of something, of having to face fear, not knowing what will happen to them in the future. It is universal. There is also a old saying which says: “the more...
#41 – Positive Feedback Is Just A Disturbing Distraction
I really believe that when you set out to achieve something great you have to get immune to feedback in any shape or form. The more you do your own thing and work on your own business and passion, the less important other opinions have to become to you. Do not listen to feedback! Why should it even be important to you any longer? You are following your own judgement and reasoning, and every other...
#40 – How To Keep Moving Forward When Life Sucks
“Setbacks are given to ordinary people to make them extraordinary.” Life will beat you down. Period. Everybody who wants more out of life will happen to run into roadblocks and setbacks. There will be people around you who will doubt you and find the stuff you set out to achieve stupid and useless. There will be people who will try to stop you, because they have not the same vision as...
#39 – Your Life Situation Is Not Permanent
Your life situation is not your life. Your current life situation is just a temporary phase in your life. Although it might not be the shiniest RIGHT NOW, it still is possible to change it. I believe that we only get depressed and worried about the future when we force ourselves into believing that whatever our life is like right now, it might be this way for the rest of our life. And when we...
