Sometimes one thought applies to many others, on the other hand many thoughts can be a continuation of the original. I am asking for free choice of thoughts for reflection. There is no set order here, you create the rules yourself.
NIL VOLENTIBUS ARDUUM
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!”
Goethe
A man came across a high tower and when he came in he found it quite dark. Touching around, he came across a winding staircase. He wondered where they were going and started climbing, and as he climbed he felt anxiety growing in his heart. He looked back, and with horror saw that every time he climbed the step, the previous one fell off and disappeared. The stairs were winding up ahead of him, and he had no idea where they were going; behind him was a huge black void …
Are you sure you want to continue your journey? If so, sit back and start your journey … because from now on no more excuses, that is, going on the easy way.
The more we run away from something, the faster it pursues us.
If you only do what you can do you will never be more than you are now
Sometimes an unexpected solution, an unexpected turn of fate, turns out to be the answer to our problem. You just have to believe that what happened did not happen without any reason and skillfully seize the opportunity.
Remember that your own determination to succeed counts more than anything else in the world.
You can be a great poet, a great writer or genius in the laboratory, but even if you do something amazing and people don’t know it, you have nothing!

Be like a postage stamp: stick to one thing until you reach your destination.
You can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.
To know the sweet taste of life, you must first know its bitterness.
Confidence, positive thinking, hard work are things that will ensure you success in most of the things you take care of in life.
First of all, you need to think about yourself. You need to come up with ways to get to the top.
You work gradually for success. Step by step, case by case.
Only activities that are inspired by great dreams lead to great success.
When you become a millionaire in your mind, all you have to do is make the right moves.

It is worth cultivating charisma. Charismatic people easily make friendships and are able to convince others of their own ideas. This extraordinary strength will double your chances of success, help you reach maturity and shape your character well. To develop it, fight your egoism and control your negative tendencies. Try to be polite, tolerant and friendly.
Behind all men’s achievements are women who support and inspire them, encourage them to act and motivate.
You must act. If you need to do something that the book does not provide, throw the textbook out the window. Do what you have to do to deal with the problem.
Do not pack where it is tight. Search for gaps.
Take care of your body and mind.
Be hungry for success, show what you can do, do everything to make people notice and listen to you. Influence other people. While you are climbing up and achieving success, be ready to help others.
When a really wonderful dream comes to your mind, grab it!
The people of action are favorites of happiness.
Happy people are people doing the work they like. — Happy because they have more energy, are joyful, less tired and worried. Where there is pleasure we will find power.
Good things happen when we start before we are ready.
If you enjoy any of your skills or talents, use them to improve your immediate environment. And if that’s not enough for you, go all out. You will have more time in your grave to rest. Live risky, full breastfeeding and as Eleanor Roosevelt said — try to do something that you are afraid of everyday. Let’s all be always hungry!
People will meet you if you go to the trouble of taking even one step towards them.

If you agree to something, you have to realize what you automatically reject.
Don’t waste time — take every chance.
Make your dreams come true, but live in the real world.
Remember that money is just a means to your goal.
If you do something, try to make it permanent, that it is useful and that you can be proud of it. Don’t do something just for the sake of money.
There is magical power in the strength of your desires.
By showing interest in people, you will see that they will soon be interested in you. You will be more and more willingly accepted in company, your friends will strive to maintain good relations with you. In other words, thanks to the care of the features that you admire so much — which attract you to others — you will start to attract yourself.
Gestures express more than words.
Finish what you started.

People say they would give anything to quit their jobs. And all you have to do is make a decision and do it … Lots of people are sitting in cages with the door open.
When you do something, try to make it the best.
Money clings to those who understand the simple laws governing their acquisition.
Where there is determination, there will also be a way.
Leave people alone, don’t try to open their eyes.
Every idea, every action has its origin in the mind — this is how the world that surrounds you is created. If you think negatively, your world will be negative. If you think positively, your world will be positive.
Violation of the eternal laws of nature is a mortal sin. We must not succumb to impatience, we should trust ourselves with the eternal rhythm of the universe.
I’ve done a lot of stuff in my life, but not enough. People like me should live a thousand years.
Whatever happens — wait patiently! The sun will come out again. It always comes out.
Why go when you can run? Why run if you can go?
God helps those who help themselves.
Don’t turn your back on future possibilities
until you’re sure you won’t learn anything from them.
Believe in small things because it is their strength that lies in them.
