Reset, readjust, restart, refocus.As many times as you need to.
Just don't quit!
I never feared about my skills because I put in the work. Work ethic eliminates fear.
So if you put forth the work, what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.
A great hope fellYou heard no noiseThe ruin was within.
She died--this was the way she died;And when her breath was done,Took up her simple wardrobeAnd started for the sun.Her little figure at the gateThe angels must have spied,Since I could never find herUpon the mortal side.
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,One clover, and a bee,And revery.The revery alone will do,If bees are few.
Faith is a fine inventionWhen gentlemen can see,But microscopes are prudentIn an emergency.
Success is counted sweetest By those who ne’er succeed. To comprehend a nectar Requires sorest need.
They say that “time assuages,”— Time never did assuage; An actual suffering strengthens, As sinews do, with age. Time is a test of trouble, But not a remedy. If such it prove, it prove too There was no malady.
Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
Look back on Time, with kindly eyes -He doubtless did his best -How softly sinks that trembling sunIn Human Nature's West -
In a serener Bright, In a more golden light I see Each little doubt and fear, Each little discord here Removed.
Success is counted sweetest by those ne'er succeed.
Mine Enemy is growing old --I have at last Revenge --The Palate of the Hate departs --If any would avenge Let him be quick -- the Viand flits --It is a faded Meat --Anger as soon as fed is dead --'Tis starving makes it fat
The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care
Heart, we will forget him,You and I, tonight!You must forget the warmth he gave,I will forget the light.
Kein Schiff trägt uns besser in ferne Länder, als ein Buch.
My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to seeIf Immortality unveil A third event to me,So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell.Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.
The bustle in a houseThe morning after deathIs solemnest of industriesEnacted upon earth,--The sweeping up the heart,And putting love awayWe shall not want to use againUntil eternity
I wonder if it hurts to live,And if they have to try,And whether, could they choose between,They would not rather die.
We cherish all the past, we glide a-down the present, awake yet dreaming; but the future of ours together—there the bird sings loudest, and the sun shines always there...
Let us strive together to part with time more reluctantly, to watch the pinions of the fleeting moment until they are dim in the distance, and the new-coming moment claims our attention.
Till I loved I never lived.
That I shall love always, I argue theethat love is life,and life hath immortality
Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--Success in Circuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surpriseAs Lightning to the Children easedWith explanation kindThe Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind--
We never know how high we are till we are called to rise. Then if we are true to form our statures touch the skies.
Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need of hell.
A charm invests a faceImperfectly beheld,—The lady dare not lift her veilFor fear it be dispelled.But peers beyond her mesh,And wishes, and denies,—Lest interview annul a wantThat image satisfies.
There is a pain – so utter – It swallows substance up – Then covers the Abyss with Trance – So Memory can step Around – across – opon it – As one within a Swoon – Goes safely – where an open eye – Would drop Him – Bone by Bone.
Knowledge Strategy Execution
Motivation is a byproduct of action, not the catalyst for it.
Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you.
Today is a new day. Stop living in the past.
Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.
You attract what you are, not what you want. If you want great, then be great.
Your goals should scare you a little and excite you a lot.
