The only way to defeat pain is to recognize pain exists.
Let your name be worth more than your bank account
I like to see honesty out of people. People who are trustworthy. I like to see people who are involved with The Lord.
Every day of my life, I'm trying to find a different way to get better.
To be the best and stay there, sweat is necessary.
You gotta be hungry for it. You’ve got to put everything you got on it. EVERYTHING! Every second. You have to be the first one in line. That’s how leaders are born.
There's no "I" on the football field. We have a total commitment to each other when we're out there. There is no doubt. It doesn't matter. The wins and losses of the game don't resonate with us. What resonates with us is "how much effort would you give for the man next to you."
Success is one thing, impact is another
Nobody’s as serious about health and fitness as me, and staying fit is my top priority.
Effort is between you, and you, and nobody elseI'm pissed off for greatness. Cause if you ain't pissed off for greatness, that just means you're okay with being mediocre, and ain't no man in here okay with just basic.
You take five fingers. Individually, I can pin any one of them, but if I pin them together (makes a fist), it's damn near impossible to turn this around.
What's the difference between you and the man sitting beside you? It's one percent. In my business, only one percent makes it. If everyone had the same dream, only 1 will make it from this crowd. Who will be that one?
I wasn't the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, and then I bought into something called work ethic.
I didn't like where I once was, so I promised myself I wouldn't be back there.
