3. The only way to grow is to step outside your comfort zone.
“Our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.” -M. Scott Peck
4. Give up excuses and focus on your own choices.
“I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.” -Stephen Covey
5. Talent is overrated, it’s all about the preparation.
“The harder I practice, the luckier I get.” -Gary Player
6. Surround yourself with positive, encouraging people.
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too can become great.” -Mark Twain
7. Stop worrying about what others are doing.
“When the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it may be that they take better care of it there.” -Cecil Selig
8. Continuous learning and growth will make your goals a reality.
“You must either modify your dreams or magnify your skills.” – Jim Rohn
9. Be ready to pay your dues and set yourself up for the future.
“The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.” -Tony Robbins
10. The only real “security” is investing in your own development.
“Most people never feel secure because they are always worried that they will lose their job, lose the money they already have, lose their spouse, lose their health, and so on. The only true security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way, that you are increasing the caliber of who you are and that you are valuable to your company, your friends, and your family.” -Tony Robbins
