Why are you living other people’s dreams? Why are you trying to be who you are not? C’mon, no matter what is going on in your life, you have a lot going well for you. Why not focus on what is going well for you? Why not use the time you have on earth to make a difference?

“The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be.”- Leo Buscaglia

In my opinion, that is better than wasting it on worthless things. If you don’t get what you want, be patient. Sometimes it takes time to discover the genius within you.When things are not working, be patient with yourself. Do not beat yourself up. Do not criticize yourself. When life is not treating you fairly, do not give up. Giving up on your dreams means you are giving up on yourself.

“The easiest thing to be in the world is you.”- Leo Buscaglia

You don’t want to do anything anymore. You are saying to yourself, ‘I am done!” Good or bad, do not quit. Keep going, keep learning, and keep loving your life.

The key to success is honesty. It attracts other like-minded people into your life. It takes courage to represent yourself. Martha Beck says, “No matter how difficult and painful it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth.”

Truth is freedom. And freedom is responsibility. Truth is peace. And peace is a creator. Truth is responsibility. And responsibility is freedom. When you are responsible, you are free. According to Paulo Coelho, “Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose – and commit myself to- what is best for me.” You have a lot of ‘what is best’ for you. No matter what is going on in your life, look for the positive things in your life and focus on them.

Why You Need A Mountain

To grow, we need a mountain to climb.
We need something bigger than us.
We need something greater than us.
If not, we are not going to reach our 
highest potential. We are going to be where we are.

Without a mountain to climb, there can be no growth.
But for it to make sense, it has to be your own mountain.
It has to be something that you really want to do.
It has to be something that is keeping you up at night.
It has to be your dream. It has to be what you are passionate about.
If it is not what you are passionate about, stay away from it.

Because no one can force you to climb a mountain.
Because no one can force you to do what you do not
want to do, not even yourself. 
Because you are in charge of your life.
Because you are a unique human being.

For that reason, whatever you are doing,
If you do not love it, do not do it.
If you do not love it, stay away from it.
If you do not love it, find something better.

It is important to love what you do.
Because the beginning of everything 
Is always lonely. It is always difficult.
It is always challenging. Why is that?
Because it is just the beginning.
Because you are a novice.
Because you haven't done it before.
It is your first time of trying it.
Because nobody cares about it.
Because nobody believes in it. 

But if you have the courage to 
finish what you start, no matter what,
Success is yours. 
Success is when you didn't give up.
And to win, you must believe in yourself.
Because when you believe in yourself,
That is success. That is getting to the top.
And that is why you need a mountain.
