You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft, that you will die without ever realizing your true potential.
The only person who was going to turn my life around was me. The only way I could get turned around was to put myself through the worst things possible that a human being could ever endure.
You are exposing yourself, as you truly are, in front of your worst enemy every single day, and that’s yourself.
We are all great. No matter if you think you're dumb, fat, been bullied, we all have greatness. You gotta find the courage. It's going to be hard work, discipline, and the non-cognitive skills - hard work, dedication, sacrifice - that will set you apart.
The cookie jar is a metaphor for self-talk and your history - reminding yourself of all the successes you’ve had.
We all have a voice inside our heads that criticizes us, doubts us, tells us we're not good enough. It's how we deal with that voice that determines our destinies.
If you can see yourself doing something, you can do it. If you can't see yourself doing it, usually you can't achieve it.
Every morning in our lives, we have a choice to make. You have the choice to stay in bed and say 'Forget it, I'm not going to work out today.' Or 'Forget it, I'm not going to work hard today.' That's your choice.
When you think that you're done, you're only 40% into what your body's capable of doing. That's just the limits that we put on ourselves.
We live in an external world. Everything, you gotta see it, touch it. If you can't see it, touch it, it doesn't exist. That's how we're living.
It won't always go your way, so you can't get trapped in this idea that just because you've imagined a possibility for yourself that you somehow deserve it.
Motivation is crap. Motivation comes and goes. When you're driven, whatever is in front of you will get destroyed.
The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill.
