Sometimes the path we feel is comfortable, natural and perfect might look like a ridiculous nightmare from a different perspective. "Don't be so focused on the path you lose sight of the goal"
You can’t ride the wave of “I’ll get there one day” forever. Set dates, deadlines and goals. “If you don’t write it down you will never fail, but you will also never succeed.”
Don’t increase your stress level by expecting from yourself that you are going to make HUGE advances. Simple disciplines, exercised consistently over time make HUGE differences.
Don't concern yourself with what you think OTHER people might say about your task or project...but what you KNOW about it from your heart. Do your best, that's all you can do.
When you find a mentor, learn all you can from their experiences, both great and not-so-great, let their life lessons become yours and then pass that same principle on to others.
