Achievement is its own reward
If you want to reach the mountain top, reach for the clouds. If you want to reach the clouds, reach for Heaven, If you want to reach heaven, reach for GOD. And if you want to reach GOD, You've got made because he is already reaching you.
Author - Kenneth D. Freeman 2008
For you, a hero, greatness is certain and doubt is zero.
There are three book titles you will never see: "Finding Happiness by Sitting on Your Couch Waiting for It", "Finding Happiness by Pleasing Everyone", and "Finding Happiness by Pretending To Be Someone You Are Not"!
Living your life through Gratitude, is not one of comparing how you are better than someone else; or Gratitude only for what you own or obtain or achieve. Living your life through Gratitude, is standing still and seeing that the world would be missing something very valuable if you were not in it.

Every man aims at avoiding what causes him pain; the activities of government ultimately consist in the infliction of pain. All great achievements of mankind were the product of a spontaneous effort on the part of individuals; government substitutes coercion for voluntary action.
Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.
Your detailed plan of action means very little - it will change over time. Yet, writing out your detailed plan of action means everything - especially if it seems impossible.
A thing is only impossible until someone does it.
The Investments we make in ourselves will always deliver the most profitable returns.
"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices
but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually.
The man who says a thing cannot be done is invariably right, for he will never do it.
I can't remember a time when I didn't believe I was deserving of achieving my desires. Am I not, and aren't you, just as entitled to happiness as the next person?
The gull sees farthest who flies highest.
You may have the loftiest goals, the highest ideals, the noblest dreams, but remember this: nothing works unless you do.
Your self-transcendence-goal
Is not something
That you have to achieve.
It was already given to you long ago
By your Beloved Supreme.
You have only to believe it.
You have only to receive it.
Rise above the mediocrity.
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Anything that is worth having, its worth fighting for.
All things are possible until they are proved impossible - and even the impossible may only be so, as of now.
Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.
“If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.”
Overachievement is aimed at people who want to maximize their potential. And to do that, I insist you throw caution to the wind, ignore the pleas of parents, coaches, spouses, and bosses to be "realistic."
