Desire is the starting point of all achievements. I am not talking of a hope or a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything we eat and what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts. Those who strive make it in the world because fortune favours the brave. But only if you grab it with both hands.

A day will never be anymore than what you make of it. You and I are essential infinite choice makers. In every moment of our existences, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choice. But faced with so many alternatives it is important to be true to yourself. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

You can be anything that you aim to be. In life it’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you are. Let the others argue over small hurts, but not you. Let the others leave their future in someone else’s hand, but not you.

That is not to say that you will not fail. Successful people are not those who never failed, but those who are brave enough to keep on trying until they get it right. You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in your life in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing that you think you cannot do.

In conclusion, life is a roller coaster. Death is just the next stage and not something to stop you from living in the here and now.
