Whatever the disappointment is, you must remain hopeful because, after all, hope is what keeps us alive.

You may not get that dream job you wanted or your boyfriend might dump you or you might not get that dream job and your boyfriend might dump you simultaneously. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in life, you're going to face A LOT of disappointments. We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope. You have the power to forget about it, and move the eff on. In this quote, Tupac Shakur is telling us that just because something ends - a job, a relationship, whatever - life still goes on. This is not good because then we begin to believe we are a failure. So many of us overanalyze failures - or what feels like failures - over and over again in our heads. Winfrey reminds us that she was an ordinary person who dared to dream of extraordinary things. How could anyone but a superhero do that, right? She is an incredibly influential and successful woman and the queen of a multimedia empire. When you think of Oprah Winfrey, you probably think of a freakin' superhero. Oprah WinfreyĬreate the highest, grandest vision possible for your life becuase you become what you believe. Keep an open mind and listen to their suggestions, but don't let them deplete you or even stop you.Īs one of my mentors always says: "You only need one yes." One day, you'll get that "yes," and you'll be so glad you didn't listen to the naysayers. They'll poke holes in your work, your dreams and your ideas - especially when you have little experience and are just starting out. Seth Godin reminds us that the majority of people will try to shoot down our dreams. Just remember it's a learning experience, and the more you practice, the more you'll succeed. That fact alone is why you're going to fail a lot at first. Not only that, when you graduate and step into the real world, you won't have a syllabus or an academic calendar that tells you exactly what you can expect for every day of the year. If you're not failing, then you're either not doing enough, and/or you're not challenging yourself enough.

I love this inspirational quote by Michael Jordan because it's easy to forget that the more you do, the more you fail.
