All you want in life is one little thing—and that’s to reach all your goals. Well, here’s the secret to doing that: You need to work hard to improve yourself every single day, both professionally and personally. After all, that’s how successful people do it. And if you want to get on their level, you’re going to have to do the same.

Now, before you break out in a sweat trying to figure out how exactly to do that, we’ve made it easy for you by compiling 16 quotes straight from the mouths of some of the most accomplished people you know, love, and admire.
I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling
that’s as unique as a fingerprint—and that the best way to
succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to
offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and
also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The
goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set
by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal
passion, talents, and interests.
Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering
we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain
and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is
no way of life.
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change
it, change your attitude.
We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we
improve.
When I had challenges, it taught me to be more on top of it
for the future. Things go wrong all the time when you’re
running your own business, but it’s how you perceive it and
deal with it that matters.
It’s not about money or connections—it’s the willingness to
out work and outlearn everyone...And if it fails, you learn
from what happened and do a better job next time.
Don’t you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.
I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I
think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow,
I’m not really sure I can do this,’ and you push through those
moments, that’s when you have a breakthrough.
We need to accept that we won’t always make the right
decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes–understanding
that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of
success.
Follow what you are genuinely passionate about and let that
guide you to your destination.
We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our
own ‘to do’ list.
Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what
they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets
you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.
Sometimes it’s the people you can’t help who inspire you the
most.
Work harder than everybody. You’re not going to get it by
whining, and you’re not going to get it by shouting, and
you’re not going to get it by quitting. You’re going to get it
by being there.
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
