Do not assume anything.
Do all you can with what you have. Give it your hundred percent and never back out. If there's even a bleak chance... a glimmer of hope... if the door is just slightly ajar, go for it and push your way through. Do not just sit back assuming that it's all over and you can't do anything about it.
Do not assume that even after trying, you are going to end up failing. If you do have to assume, assume it to be positive. Do not be pessimistic about it. Do not cover up for your laziness by doing so. Anything and everything can be done if you want to do it. It’s not the laziness. It is fear. Do not hide it behind your facade of indifference. Instead, stop being afraid. The first step is the hardest to take. Stop coming up with excuses to avoid confronting challenges. You have the motivation. And you have whatever else it takes to do it. Do not let the fear overpower all of that. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take".
Stop playing the victim. It’s very easy to pass on the blame. Don’t say that it was destined to be that way. Take definitive action to correct whatever's wrong.
Don’t shit yourself into not believing in yourself. The course which your life takes is in your own hands. Stand up and take responsibility for it. Don’t just let it pass you by.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.“Invictus” - William Ernest Henley
