Discovery

"One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." (Andrew Gide)
This rings very true for me as an entrepreneur. Very few businesses get great results from the word go but to stick with it you have to be extremely committed.

Belief

"Man is what he believes" (Anton Chekhov)
So much of what we experience is down to perceptions and interpretations. Yes, there are a few hard facts (even these can be challenged by battle-hardened philosophers) - but all our perceptions are filtered through our belief-systems which explains why the same event can become a totally different experience for two different people.

Circumstance

"We are not creatures of circumstance, we are creators of circumstance." (Benjamin Disraeli)
You have the power within you to make your dreams a reality, what's holding you back?
