You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. Sometimes it takes a good fall to know where you really stand. If anything, when the waters get thick, that’s our sign to keep going. How often do you think we write our own ending before the story is even finished? How often do we give up on ourselves when our lives are just starting? Things get hard and we immediately back away and assume that means we’re going in the wrong direction, doing the wrong thing. Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears. It’s better to be in the arena, getting stomped by the bull, than to be up in the stands or out in the parking lot. Encouragement should come from the inside. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places. I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed: and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I fail and keep trying. ‘Impossible’ just takes a few more phone calls. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down. Keep on going and chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. If something is important to you, you’ll find a way.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. There are times to stay put and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself. Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent. You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit at home and think about it.
