Life's hardest truths.

1. Nothing is Free - Everything requires a sacrifice or price of some sort. Be wary of what you wish for, you might just get it.
2. True Magic happens outside your Comfort Zone - What you have done so far will continue to give you what you’ve gotten. Outside your comfort zone is where you find new things leading to new results.
3. If you Stop you will stay where you are - A lot of people stop when things are going bad. They slow down out of fear, worry and due to the setbacks they received. The problem is that nothing changes this way. It is hard, but you have to keep moving. You would not stay in your house if it was on fire right? So why stay when your life is burning you up?
4. Some things are not worth fighting for - Some times you have to cut your losses and move on. Is it worth it? Yes or no? If it is not a clear, easy, definite yes, then do not fight for it.
5. The Bad Moments harbor the greatest lessons - Stop preventing yourself from feeling like crap. Stop going to the friends that will tell you “Everything will be okay” and that distract you from the moment. Allow the negative moments to come in and overwhelm you so you take a lesson with you that actually changes things.
6. It’s all on you - It’s your choice to waste time. It’s your choice to go out with friends. It’s your choice how many job applications you send out, how many money-making opportunities you go for, and how many actions you take that could change your life. Don’t blame your circumstance or situation. It’s all on you.
7. Some things you won’t miss until they’re gone - Be careful of what you are loosing along the way and what decisions you make. Everything affects everything else. Don’t let one bad choice loose you something you never wanted to miss.
8. It’s all on you #2 - All the good things that have happened, all the amazing moments, the beautiful experiences, the truly life-changing events, all happened because you made the choices you have made. If you had chosen differently anywhere along the way they would not have come to pass. The same goes for the negative moments as for the positive ones: It’s all on you.
9. This will not kill you - Too often do we walk around a negative situation because we have no idea what consequences will show up. We treat every failure, every loss, every possible negative situation as a ‘Life-Or-Death’ moment. But life moves on afterwards. This will not kill you. You will still have a chance to smile, a chance to laugh, a chance to live after this.
10. You cannot jump to the top of the Mountain in a single Bound - You are not superman. You cannot do everything all at once. You are, sadly, only human. Meaning you need to take things one step at a time. And that does not mean one step from the highest point you’ve been, but rather one step from where you are now. That is how you climb the mountain.
11. Success is not about winning, but about being the last one standing - Life throws all kinds of things at you and your dreams. It will test your limits and you to the core. But it’s not about beating life, pushing everyone out of the way or winning that leads to success. As long as you keep standing up you will win eventually.
