Be Willing To Walk Away
A great quote from De Niro at the 2:35 mark : “Don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in thirty seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner”.
This is not to encourage you to go be some master thief 
, but to illustrate an important point. It’s very easy to get caught up in wanting something so badly in your pursuits of personal development and sometimes just life in general that you are almost willing to compromise your integrity or self-worth to get there. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel things are impossible or you have to give too much at that point in time, don’t be afraid to step back or walk away altogether even if it’s only to re-evaluate what steps you will have to take later on.
Notice I didn’t say to give up, but it’s very easy to let the strong emotions that come with passionate pursuit of a goal or an end to sweep over you at times. And while emotion can be a great motivator, it can also be a blinder at times.
Take your time with your goals and enjoy the experience. Pursue what you want with an attitude towards quality and be willing to walk away if it’s necessary so that you can find a better way.
