Ninety percent of what youre saying isnt coming out of your mouth.
If we each get on a treadmill right now, one of two things is going to happen... either you're going to get off first or I am going to die. Period.
The central idea of love is not even a relationship commitment, the first thing is a personal commitment to be the best version of yourself with or without that person that you're with. You have to every single day-mind, body, and spirit-wake up with a commitment to be better.
Greatness exists in all of us.
Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.
Before 2010, I had a vision. I saw a family in my mind that I wanted to have. And I was pushing and driving hard for my picture, and then I realized everyone has their own journey.

I've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.
When I was growing up, I installed refrigerators in supermarkets. My father was an electrical engineer.
