Sean Combs quotes: here’s a bunch of our favorite success sayings from “Diddy.”
“The sun don’t shine forever, but as long as it’s here, then we might as well shine together.”
“Every minute you’re not dead should be a minute spent enjoying the f*ck out of life.”
“Really, I just want to be happy, make a difference, love and be loved, create beautiful things, surround myself with good people, laugh a lot, stay fresh, and look good naked.”
“If you dream and you believe, you can do it.”
“Nobody is going to give you anything. There’s no rescue team coming, no National Guard, no aid, nothing. You’re going to have to go out there and get it. And the only way forward is to decide you want that dream so bad that you’re going to work harder, you’re going to get up earlier, you’re going to stay later, you’re going to push past the people who doubted you, laughed at you, hated on you.”
“If you can’t be positive, then at least be quiet.”
“If you want to fly? You have to give up the things that weigh you down.”
“I demand the best. Sleep is forbidden. If you work for me, you have to roll how I roll. I’m not really human. I’m a machine.”
“I have learned to enjoy the ups for what they are, because those are the moments that feel like they go by the quickest.”
“The company had been like a train speeding down the track; if you don’t manage the velocity, the train will eventually crash.”
“The difference between good and great is caring.”
“I’ve never been surprised about what happened to me. I’ve put in hard work to get to this point. It’s like when you become a lawyer – if you’re busting your ass, you’re not surprised when you get your degree. I came in to win, you know. This is why I stay up late while other people are sleeping; this is why I don’t go out to the Hamptons.”
“Find yourself and be that.”
“Everyone has challenges and lessons to learn – we wouldn’t be who we are without them.”
“I’m most concerned about finding inner peace and happiness. All that glitters isn’t gold. And there are things better than gold – like having a meaningful conversation, seeing your kids healthy and smiling, and getting along with your mother.”
“Don’t be afraid to close your eyes and dream, but then open your eyes and see.”
“Sometimes you gotta do sh*t the old you would do… so mfers know not to play with the new you.”
“It’s very important to love what you do because you’re going to have to spend a lot of time mastering your craft. Success doesn’t just land on your lap. You have to work, work, work, and work some more.”
“My mind is always racing, always going, always working… and it’s a gift and a curse.”
“Look in the mirror – that’s your competition.”
“I don’t say it in a cocky way, but I take pride in being one of the best at doing what I do.”
“Can’t nobody take my pride. Can’t nobody hold me down.”
“For a lot of people, the distance between their dreams and their reality is intimidating, and they get stuck. They get paralyzed just like how I was in that marathon. And the only way forward is to be real about what it’s going to take for you to achieve those dreams.”
“You always win when you tell the truth.”
“Mental wellness is so important. Take care of your mind and the way you speak to yourself. Don’t let negative thoughts weaken you.”
“I don’t believe in fear – I live my life without regrets.”
“As you face the obstacles that I’m telling you about in your life, if you ever think about stopping, I just want you to think about me singing in your ear: ‘I thought I told you that we won’t stop, I thought I told you that we won’t stop.'”
“It’s okay to be crazy, but don’t be insane.”
“At an early age, I started my own paper route. Once I saw how you could service people and do a good job and get paid for it, I just wanted to be the best I could be in whatever I did.”
“It always seems impossible… until it’s done.”
“You have to be honest with yourself. You have to tell yourself the truth. You have to tell yourself the truth about what it’s going to take for you to be successful. It doesn’t come easy, you’re going to have to go out there and get it.”
“More people need love. You don’t need to try to change them. Just give them love and watch them heal and elevate.”
“Keep putting out good. It’ll come back to you tenfold in unexpected ways.”
