Never Settle Quotes

    “Never settle for any mediocrity, because that is a sin against life. Never ask that life should be without risk, and never ask for security, because that is asking for death.”

    Osho, Everyday Osho (Page 41)

      “So I waited. Then I got used to waiting. Eventually, waiting was more real than what we had.”

      André Aciman, Enigma Variations

        “Regret is what you should fear the most.  If something is going to keep you awake at night, let it be the fear of not following your dream.  Be afraid of settling.”

        Chris Guillebeau, The Happiness of Pursuit (Page 220)

          “Starting at zero is a mindset that says my refrigerator is never full, and it never will be.  We can always become stronger and more agile, mentally and physically.  We can always become more capable and more reliable.  Since that’s the case we should never feel that our work is done.  There is always more to do.” ~ David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me

            “My work ethic is the single most important factor in all of my accomplishments.  Everything else is secondary.  To me, a forty-hour work week is a 40 percent effort.  It may be satisfactory, but that’s another word for mediocrity.  Don’t settle for a forty-hour work week.  There are 168 hours in a week!  That means you have the hours to put in that extra time at work without skimping on your exercise.  It means streamlining your nutrition, spending quality time with your wife and kids.  It means scheduling your life like you’re on a twenty-four-hour mission every single day.” ~ David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me

              “They say there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, but not once your eyes adjust to the darkness.” ~ David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me

                “One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.” ~ Helen Keller
