Do what you love, but be damned sure it’s profitable. If you do work you love, but it doesn’t generate income, your business will fail. If you do work you hate, but it generates income, your health will fail… and your business along with it.

Steve Pavlina

It’s been said that the first hour is the rudder of the day. I’ve found this to be very true in my own life. If I’m lazy or haphazard in my actions during the first hour after I wake up, I tend to have a fairly lazy and unfocused day.

Firsts Lazy Wake Up
It’s a serious character weakness to think you can get something of value for little or nothing, to believe that life will flood you with abundance when you won’t commit yourself to delivering your best contribution in exchange.

Believe Character Thinking
Imaginary testing is unreliable, and in many cases, it’s a huge waste of time and energy. In truth you just don’t know what will happen until you try.

Business Hate Passion
Hard work is painful when life is devoid of purpose. But when you live for something greater than yourself and the gratification of your own ego, then hard work becomes a labor of love.

Ego Smart Work
The exact process you use to build courage isn’t important. What’s important is that you consciously do it. Just as your muscles will atrophy if you don’t regularly stress them, your courage will atrophy if you don’t consistently challenge yourself to face down your fears.

One of the secrets to success is recognizing that motivation follows action.

Action Motivation Secret
Are you one of those people who notices the problems of the world and says … somebody ought to do something about that? Why not you? If you feel a strong urge to see a problem fixed, then why not act on it?

People Strong Thought Provoking
If something is important enough to you that you feel the urge to donate your money or time to it, I think it’s best to try to express that form of giving through your career, not just as something you do on the side.

The more you’re able to explore, the more connections you can form, and the greater your spiritual growth will be. When you feel a strong desire to connect with something in your reality, listen to your intuitive guidance, and make the connection.

Connection Explore Greater More Something
Using passion as your only fuel will no more assure you of success than being in love will ensure a successful long-term relationship.

Being Inspirational Love Passion
In fact, it’s a safe bet that you’ll subconsciously sabotage yourself from being in such a place for long. You won’t allow yourself to receive what you don’t feel you’ve earned. To receive life’s bounty, you must know without a doubt that you deserve it.

Allow Fact Receive Subconsciously
By all means listen to other people’s advice, but when in doubt go with your gut instinct.

Realize that you earn income by providing value – not time – so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it.

People often overestimate what they can reasonably achieve in a year. But they vastly underestimate what they can achieve in 5 years.
