1. “Efforts you put forth bring progress when the secret ingredient called passion is stuffed in it.”

We often wonder why achievers become so and we don’t even after working equally harder. You can certainly choreograph your life by raising your thoughts, wishes, desires and dreams, and color your path using the power of imagination. Your interest is the weapon which carves the entire growth which you would want to own. Appreciations and recognitions, awards and rewards would definitely be yours if you wisely nurture your thought process and dedicate it to identify what is that which attracts and pulls you, so that the effort you would put turns fruitful.

2. “Everything that occurs in your life, no matter big or small, happens for a cause. Believe in it and learn from every experience”

Life has a lot to offer. It offers through changes and actions. All of what happens doesn’t just happen for the sake of it. Learn the embedded facts which lead you into the pool of introspection. Analyzing the ‘why’ would fetch you answers beyond what we can think of. Joseph Edward Murray, truly an exemplar, decided what each frame of his life had to be.

The past experiences, incidents, aids and servings, challenges and criticism and a clean, deep bondage of your feelings to analyze all this sprouts new ideas, identifies your interests and progressively acts as a toolkit to give rise to a purposeful journey of yours. 

3. “The hunger to prove yourself enables you to touch the peak of success.”

Success is all yours only when you crave for it. Improvements always take form when your actions and deeds prove the desire for it; and that’s how you grow! Let your focus stay on what you want in life. Question yourself as to how much capabilities you have and how you can utilize it to produce something ‘better’ efficiently.

Let us recall, this amazing quote “be the change you want to see.” Frederic David Schwartz authenticates the same. If you want something to make its entry into the reality, it can be made possible only when you dream of it, frame and shape in the world of your imagination, feel it, nurture it, and then add life to it by projecting it to the reality. The major developments which happen around us today have their roots in the minds of the people who dreamt of it. The power of visualization is something that doesn’t just help the ‘new’ to cultivate but also help the development of the personality in you.

5. “You got to face challenges! It’s not an option if you really want to taste the fruit of success. It’s the only choice.”

Challenges are only there to make you stronger. The whole point in facing them is to show the world your capabilities and rigid mental strength which helps you remain strong to kick off all the problems that come to you. The world around you along with raising support and appreciations, also criticizes you, puts you down and makes you feel low at times too. Each of us is blessed with immense potential which acts as an energy pill and a weapon to fight against and withstand the unfavorable situations.

Abraham Harold Maslow  was an American psychologist who fought to lighten the darkness which paved his life: he essentially overcame racism and ethnic prejudice to free the world from such evils and make way for education to reach every life on earth without discrimination. The struggles we encounter in turn found the change and improvement to take place.  As his parents were deprived of education, they hoped for his son to get the best education possible and hence books became his best friends.
