If you wake up without any goals or direction, your days are practically guaranteed to get you nowhere. - Hal Elrod

Being average means to settle for less than you truly want and are capable of, and to struggle for your entire life.

Everything is difficult before it's easy. Everything is uncomfortable before it's comfortable.

Every day, think as you wake up, ‘Today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.’ — DALAI LAMA
