Use these Jackie Chan quotes to start changing your circumstances and start turning your dream into reality.  

“Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.” – Jackie Chan

If you let circumstances control your life you’ll never have enough. You won’t have enough resources, help or money to make any of your dreams come true.

But the most successful people in the world understand they are in control, not their circumstances. Never let your current circumstance be the reasons you don’t reach your full potential.

Choose to believe in yourself and give yourself a chance. You can change it!

“The ads all call me fearless, but that’s just publicity. Anyone who thinks I’m not scared out of my mind whenever I do one of my stunts is crazier than I am.” – Jackie Chan

It’s so easy to see people doing their work at elite levels and think they aren’t scared, nervous or terrified. Athletes, actors, and even professional speakers still get nervous and scared.

But they don’t let fear hold them back. You need to the same. Learn to push through fear, anxiety, and nerves to get the job done.

Remember, it’s okay to feel fear, just don’t let it hold you back. You only get one shot at life, don’t let fear run your dreams into the ground.

“If one does not attach himself to people and desires, never shall his heart be broken. But then, does he ever truly live?” – Jackie Chan

Playing it safe is easy. But if you slog through life “getting by” are you ever really living?

Don’t be afraid to play big. Fail more, fail bigger.

Life is meant for living, not walking around cautiously, scared, and timid. Take calculated risks on yourself to create a better future.

“Being still and doing nothing are two completely different things” – Jackie Chan Quotes 

Don’t confuse being mindful and still as being lazy or doing nothing. In today’s busy and chaotic world it’s never been more useful to check in with yourself.

Whether it’s part of your morning routine, at lunch or before bed, check in with yourself.

Remember, your inner world creates your outer world. Success starts by being happy on the inside.

“I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.” – Jackie Chan

Don’t try to be the next Mark Zuckerberg, Tony Robbins or Will Smith. Be the best version of you!

It’s okay to learn from successful people but don’t copy someone. If you want to be extraordinary you need to be original.

Remember, you are more than enough!

“I do small things. I try to do good things every day. If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.” – Jackie Chan Quotes

Don’t forget how a small gesture can make someone’s day. Whether it’s a smile, opening a door, or paying it forward at the coffee shop. The little things add up and are contagious to others.

Use these Jackie Chan quotes to be the best version of yourself. Remember that you are more than enough and don’t forget the benefits of being a good person. The Universe will reward your good deeds.
