Throughout my life I have often reflected what a thoughtful and attentive world we live in to contemplate and learn from what the rich and famous and wise once said... This has helped me sometimes understand my surroundings, experiences or behaviour of others, and also at times helped me keep cool, calm and collective knowing others before have found themselves in the same testing or dark place and found the path to come out and go on to achieve greatness.
I have also through my own experiences found that I help motivate others, by carving my own sayings and phrases upon this world, and anyone who knows me, will tell you I have a quote for everything!!!
I hope you enjoy and perhaps find comfort and motivation in some of these quotes and quotations.
And please remember some are used before a mental workout or to motivate me and others during a testing time, and are not meant to be a reflection of being cocky or arrogant but to help kick start a spark to help gather the mental strength to complete what seems an impossible task.
Human nature is to always want more, be better, push harder, take more risk, never be satisfied... and dare to be great...

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
A lot of people teach you " always be content"..To me i've never seen this work Most entrepreneurs are not content with the way things are. They are grateful for what they have, but they constantly want to improve themselves. Is a great athlete 'content' before a game or HUNGRY to win?.. we need to look at the REALITY of our life, what are you not happy with?.then use this discontent, this anger, & take action & harness it in positive ways.
No time to waste ...only ever interested in 1st place!!!
CONFIDENT when it matters....
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer!
Lets make this very clear. No matter who the F*ck you are, how rich, famous, beautiful, good looking, strong, talented, lieable, or even dead ordinary..life will hit your blind side & try & crush & make you doubt yourself & try & make you submit..why?? thats a question no one can answer & confuses us all more.. but instinct tells us to fight & improve & never relent for success is only achieved from each one of our failures.
Everything is ALMOST possible if you are really ready to walk through hot miles of hell to cool off in heaven.....
Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength
If I don't truly fear a challenge, then I accomplished nothing, If man didn't fear what dwells in the dark he never would invented light...
When you go and achieve your dreams, everyone is NOT going to applaud you. Cold fact they're just not. Your product or service is for SOMEONE not everyone... Use negativity as a sign of success and the fuel to keep there cos you never wanna give the haters any ground...
At the exact moment of your greatest fear, takes your greatest strength, which will give you your greatest achievement.......
