It doesn't matter if you fall down, it's whether you get back up.
I've had tendinitis since college.
The reason I became such a successful athlete was my mind was saying that no matter who you put up against me, I am better, I am the best.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.
Anything can happen if you are willing to put in the work and remain open to the possibility. Dreams are realized by effort, determination, passion and staying connected to that sense of who you are.

If you put your mind to doing whatever it is you want to do, good things can happen.

You have to be uncompromised in your level of commitment to whatever you are doing, or it can disappear as fast as it appeared... Excellence isn't a one-week or one-year ideal. It's a constant. There will be days when you don't feel on top of your game, or meetings in which you aren't at your best, but your commitment remains constant. No compromises.
I missed 9000 shots in my career, lost almost 300 games and missed the shot to win the game 26 times.
