If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re too small–Richard Branson

If your dreams don’t scare you: Our dreams define the size of our desire, ability to get inspired and push forward to create a route to achieve them. Small aim is a crime because it is not inspiring enough to make it happen. As Eleanor Roosevelt says, the future belongs to the people who dream. Richard Branson talks about the dreams that scare us. Dreams are supposed to be scary – if they are too easy, they don’t qualify to be inspiring enough. Today’s QOTD is Richard Branson’s words on dreams – if your dreams don’t scare you, they are too small.

Champions aren’t made in gyms – Muhammad Ali

by
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali Quotes

Champions are different. They are different because they do something beyond what others will. It is not just the physical aspect of doing something. What’s more powerful is the internal aspect – the mind which travels well beyond what others do. Everyone goes to the gym – but the champions are those who do this, but also something beyond that takes them to the next level.

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory - Mahatma Gandhi Quotes. Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment: Success and failure is all about the results - this is what most of us are taught to believe. I can see the logic in this because success comes with results and accolades that help us recognise a victory. This quote by Mahatma Gandhi talks about the effort involved in achieving success. Some of our successes can sometimes be fluke events. Although they give us the results, the satisfaction derived from them is small and in some cases disappointing. This quote brings the focus back to the effort involved and the satisfaction derived from this effort.

To be a great champion you must believe you are the best- Muhammad Ali

by
To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you're not, pretend you are - Mohammad Ali. To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best: It all starts from a thread of belief. Unless we believe in ourselves, there's very little chance of success in life. And even if we succeed without belief, we won't be able to enjoy it because we end up attributing success to factors such as luck etc. Being a champion is a mindset. We all have unique abilities- let's call that our leverage. If we compare ourselves to anyone, there will be areas of strength and weaknesses. The beauty is when we can use these strengths or leverage to create a path of victory for ourselves.

Where Your Fear is There is your Task – Carl Jung

Where your fear is, there is your task!

Where your fear is there is your task: Fear is powerful. It can either debilitate us completely and sometimes even paralyse us. But the beauty of fear is that even though it’s got that capability, it can vanish into the thin air. Even more beautiful is the point that you and I can do this by refocusing our energies and listening, leaning into what this fear is telling us.
