“The person who is not master of himself can never be master of others.”- Napoleon Hill

“You are the architect of your own life.”– Napoleon Hill

“You can do great things in life if you are your best self.”– E. Bright

“Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.”– Carol Burnett, actress

“What is the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable.”– John Green, author

If you want to achieve greatness in your life, you must be who you are. You must be your real self.Don’t worry about what people are saying about you. Focus on what is important to you, and how you are going to get the results you are looking for.

Accept yourself the way you are. Don’t let anyone put you down, or talk you down. Choose your fight wisely. Don’t fight petty fight. They are irrelevant. They will not help reach your goals. They will set you back. When people disagree with you, respectfully tell them how you feel, and move on.

Don’t let negative comments affect your life. Why? Because there are people out there whose sole purpose is to make you unhappy, to tear you down, to point out what is wrong about you, to tell you that you are not good enough, to tell you that you are doing the wrong course. It is their opinion, not yours. Their negative comments about you will affect you only if you allow them into your life, only if you allow them to stay in your life.

If you dismiss them immediately and replace them with positive comments about yourself, they will not stay. They will fade away. Remember, if you don’t play negative comments in your head, you will not remember them, you will forget them. So, if you want to deal with negative talk, replace them with positive ones.

You are who you are. Don’t try to be who you are not. If you do that, you are not living your life, you are living someone else’s life. To move forward in life, learn how to live your own life

Pursue Your Purpose, Not Your Passion

“To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.”- Plutarch, Greek-Roman biographer

Whatever you want to achieve in your life, go for it. Do not let the fear of failure stop you from pursuing your purpose. The reason we are here is to pursue our purposes. If you are not pursuing your purpose, what are you pursuing?

No matter what you want to achieve in your life, it is not going to be perfect before you start. We are not perfect. We live in an imperfect world. So, our decisions are not going to be perfect. Remember, there is power in imperfection. Publilius Syrus said, “No one knows what he can do until he tries.”

To achieve greatness in you life, you must follow your purpose, not your passion. Your purpose is who you are. It is bigger than your passion. Your purpose in life is your driver, meaning it controls all your decisions. Your purpose doesn’t change. It stays the same.

On the other hand, your passion changes with time. If you want to be successful, follow your driver- purpose.
