A shark in a fish tank will grow 8 inches, but in the ocean, it will grow 8 feet or more. The shark will never outgrow its environment and this is true about you. Many times we're around small thinking people so we don't grow. Change your environment and watch your growth.
Imagine this: If you had $86,400 in your account and someone stole $10 from you, would you be upset and throw all of the remaining $86,390 awayin hopes of getting back at the person who took your $10? Or move on ang live? Right, move on and live. See, we all have 86,400 seconds each day. Don't let someone's negative 10 seconds ruin the remaining 86,390. Don't sweat the small stuff, life is more than that.
A seed grows with no sound, but a tree falls with a huge noise. Destruction has noise, but creation is quiet. This is the power of silence. Grow Silently.
Everybody isn't your friend just because they hang around you and laugh with you doesn't mean they are your friend. People pretend well. At the end of the day, real situations expose fake people, so pay attention.
Don't get frustrated if it feels like you're doing is chipping away at something too big for you. That's exactly how masterpieces are eventually made.
Listen to your own voice, your own soul. Too many people listen to the noise of the world, Instead of themselves. Deep inside, you know what you want, let no one decide that for you.
Ships don't sink because of the water around them, Ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Moral of the story: Do not let what's happening around you, get inside you and weigh you down.
Do not get upset with people or situations both are powerless without your reaction.
