There is no short cut to success. If you want to succeed in your life, you must do your work. No one is going to do your work for you.

Success comes from doing small things really well. Life is too short to waste your life chasing the wrong things. If you want to succeed, you must first be willing to make mistakes.

Again, success comes from making mistakes, lots of mistakes. If you are not ready and willing to make mistakes, you are not ready to make it in life.

“There is no short cut to success in life. If you want to be successful in your life, you must do your own work.“

If you want to do great things in your life, you must have the courage to do it. It is your responsibility to work on yourself. It is your responsibility to change yourself. No one is going to change you. Only you can change you. Why not do it? What are you waiting for?

George Washington Carver said, “There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation- veneer isn’t worth anything.”

Success requires thorough preparation. It requires you to do what you really do not want to do. It requires you to do what other people don’t want to do.

And you got to have self-confidence. And self-confidence means believing in yourself. And it also means believing in your abilities to get things done.

Don’t wait for success to come to you. It will never happen. Wherever it is, go get it.

Don’t Disappoint Yourself

It will never end. Life never ends. Even when we are no longer here, life continues.

Life is a journey. It continues. Do not expect it to end. If you do, you are going to disappoint yourself. So don’t disappoint yourself.

It is easier to disappoint yourself than to disappoint others. How? Because you are able to hide your true life, your true self, the true story, your failures, your mistakes.

Be authentic. It takes courage to be authentic. Remember, you live your true life when you are authentic..

Barbara De Angelis said, “We need to find the courage to say No to the things and people that are not serving us, if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.”

If you cannot live with authenticity, do not expect it from other people. Do not expect what you cannot give yourself from other people.

If you are not good enough for your life, you will never be good enough for other people’s lives.

General Colin Powell writes, “Always do your best. Even when no one else is looking, you always are. Don’t disappoint yourself.” He is right.

To live your true life, you must rise above yourself. You find your true self when you are committed to something bigger than yourself.

If you walk around with hate in your mind, you cannot live your true life. And to live your true life, you must replace hate with love. Because love is life.
