Anytime you have difficulty making an important decision, you can be sure that it’s the result of being unclear about your values. - Tony Robbins

If everything's given, you won't hunger

The difference between those who succeed and those who fail isn’t what they have — it’s what they choose to see and do with their resources and their experience of life.

Some people begin to feel that things are pointless, that they’re helpless or worthless, or that no matter what they try they’ll lose anyway. These are a set of beliefs that must never be indulged in if we ever expect to succeed and achieve in our lives. These beliefs strip us of our personal power and destroy our ability to act. In psychology, there is a name for this destructive mindset: learned helplessness. When people experience enough failure at something — and you’d be surprised how few times this is for some people — they perceive their efforts as futile and develop the terminal discouragement of learned helplessness.
