Write Down The Lessons Learned

"When you start doing more you will definitely start failing more.  If you are suffering and not paying attention to the lessons being presented to you, then you are in for a never-ending world of pain.  I needed to write down the lessons I’ve learned so I don’t forget them and hopefully others can suffer slightly less because I suffered and learned."

-- Nicholas Haralambous

Assume That Life is For You

"If you assume that life is for you, you will naturally take actions based on the belief that “things will work out for the best”—and your results will naturally follow. If you assume that life is against you, however, then your actions will be hesitant, based on fear and “why bother”—and your results will naturally follow."

-- Noah St. John

A Living Example to Others

"Each of us serves as a living example to others. Our character and conduct can cast either the bright glow of greatness and service to the far corners of our influence, or a shadow of smallness and selfishness to the unfortunate few nearest us. Our striving for a better life and a better world can leave others inspired if it comes from a genuine place of service, or diminished if it comes from a place of greed."

--Dan Yable, Olympic Gold medalist in Wrestling

Just Figuring Out How Your Life Works

-- Nicholas Haralambous

Your Energy and Ability to Work

When You Gave Up Blame and Take Responsibility

"To give up blame and take responsibility is to acknowledge that there is always something you can do.

-- Dave Corbet and Ian Roberts

Reframe Your Failure

"You are absolutely going to fail. You’re going to be lost.  You’re going to be confused. You’re going to be hopeless and sad. You’re going to be a bad friend, father, brother, sister, aunt, mother, uncle. You are going to fail. Read it and believe it. You cannot avoid failure, it’s coming for you. All you need to do is reframe your failure. You are not failing, you are figuring out all the ways that don’t work."

-- Brendon Burchard
