Allow yourself to be a beginner. No one starts off being excellent.  

I'd rather be a failure in something that I love than a success in something that I hate.   

If you're going through hell, keep going.  

Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.  

At one point in your life you either have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.

Don't compare your progress with that of others. We all need our own time to travel our own distance.
