DESMOND TUTU

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door

Don't wish it was easier,

wish you were better.

Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors

Starve your distractions,

Feed your focus.

Trust your struggle

Success is buried on the other side of frustration. 

Your opinion doesn't pay my bills

Those at the top of the mountain didn't fall there

Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do

Learn to rest,

Not quit.

You are your best investment.

Be the one who decided to go for it.

Leave the distracted masses to join the focused few

The best view comes after the hardest climb

Success doesn't come to you,

You go for it.

It won't be easy,

It'll be worth it.

Ability takes you to the top,

but it takes character to stay there.

Grow through what you go through.

Where focus goes,

energy flows.

Inhale confidence,

Exhale doubt.

Turn pain into power
