You need time, perseverance, and patience to develop the character and abilities required for success.
~ Mensah Oteh
Define success by your terms, not by other people’s standards.
~ Mensah Oteh
Greatness is achieved when you fulfil your purpose by doing what you were born to do.
~ Mensah Oteh
Always direct your emotions, desires, behaviour, and actions in the present so they are in alignment with what you want in your future.
~ Mensah Oteh
Self-discipline is a prerequisite to progress.
~ Mensah Oteh
Your ego does not need to be crushed, it needs to be redeemed.
~ Mensah Oteh
Perfection is the lowest standard out there because it is unattainable. Be the best you can but don’t try to be someone you were not born to be.
~ Mensah Oteh
Your words reveal your wants but your actions reveal your expectations.
~ Mensah Oteh
You have mastered the art of discipline when you are able to act according to what you ultimately desire rather than how you feel in the present moment.
~ Mensah Oteh
To get to ‘yes’ from ‘no’, you may have to journey through ‘maybe’.
~ Mensah Oteh
Ninety-five per cent of your success or failure will come from your daily habits.
~ Mensah Oteh
Staying true to your dream by using your mental, emotional and physical strength is discipline in action. You express it through focus, grit, self-control, persistence, perseverance, and willpower.
~ Mensah Oteh
Discipline is more about self-control through your inner strength and less about restriction.
~ Mensah Oteh
The ability to make yourself do what needs to be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner – irrespective of your feelings – marks the true test of self-discipline.
~ Mensah Oteh
Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.
~ Mensah Oteh
Discipline begins where you are, and the key to sustaining the level of discipline you need lies in developing daily habits and routines which mirror the life you want to have.
~ Mensah Oteh
The investment you make in others is transferred to everyone they influence long after you’re gone. Significance
~ Mensah Oteh
Significance is about making a difference, and its pursuit should ideally come before the pursuit of success – or at least at the same time.
~ Mensah Oteh
It’s not how long you live that matters, it’s how well you live.
~ Mensah Oteh
Have you decided how great you want to be? It’s really up to you. Greatness is a choice.
~ Mensah Oteh
Success may create excitement, but only significance leads to fulfilment.
~ Mensah Oteh
Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.
~ Mensah Oteh
If you see success as a race, then you will start eagerly with enthusiasm and passion with the hope of finishing quickly but there is much more to your success journey than your duration and speed.
~ Mensah Oteh
Achievers are biased towards action despite any fear, and this courage sets them apart from others.
~ Mensah Oteh
Courage isn’t instinctive or genetic, it has to be learned and practiced. Why not start today?
~ Mensah Oteh
You need courage because at various moments in your life you might need to attempt something new, push yourself outside your comfort zone, challenge the status quo, change your story, or overcome your fear.
~ Mensah Oteh
Acting courageously is about knowing and making the right choices based on a deep conviction that dwarfs fear, doubt, and worry.
~ Mensah Oteh
Courage is the ability to make yourself take action in spite of your fear.
~ Mensah Oteh
Successful people’s dreams aren’t just about results. They’re about the changes their dreams will bring to their lives and the impact achieving their goal will have on those around them.
~ Mensah Oteh
Dare to be different.
~ Mensah Oteh
Big dreams only come true when you believe and have the courage to pursue them.
~ Mensah Oteh
Courage is important but it shouldn’t be used in making impulsive decisions or taking uncalculated actions.
~ Mensah Oteh
You might fear you don’t have what it takes, but you don’t need to have all the answers or everything figured right from the start.
~ Mensah Oteh
Finding the courage to break away from other people’s opinions, and your self-limiting thoughts, could be the most significant breakthrough transformation you make on your journey to success.
~ Mensah Oteh
You are a product of the stories you believe and accept.
~ Mensah Oteh
Until you develop the courage to pursue that dream in your heart, you will never reach your true potential.
~ Mensah Oteh
To become successful you have to dream big. Small dreams don’t have the magic to stir up passion and greatness within you.
~ Mensah Oteh
Embrace who you are and your divine purpose. Identify the barriers in your life, and develop discipline, courage and the strength to permanently move beyond them, and keep moving forward.
~ Germany Kent
I thank God every day for this life, and I want there to be more, though that’s not known. What is known is that I’m alive today, this minute. And that’s pretty much what we all have – this day, this moment.
