90 percent of life is just showing up
90 percent of success is not getting distracted

Do the work:
Talent and potential mean nothing if you can't consistently do the boring things when you don't feel like doing them.
***
Plan your work and work your plan.
The person who carefully designs their daily routine goes further than the person who negotiates with themselves every day.
Let inertia work for you.

Don’t ever miss the chance to appreciate the beauty of a flower:
or the sky:
Their beauty is fleeting.
A reminder from Richard Feynman you don't have to be the same person you were yesterday:
“You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.”

When people say something bad about you:
“All this hand wringing worry and concern over how are people viewing me — someone said something bad about me, and you get so upset about it — is wasted time and energy. Your only focus should be on getting better at what you're doing. Focus on what you are doing. Get better at what are you doing. Everything else is a waste of time.” -Jerry Seinfeld
How about this to humble and put things in perspective:
Pale Blue Dot (look very closely) is a photograph of Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a distance of approximately 6 billion kilometers.
The Pale Blue Dot (Carl Sagan): That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
