“Tomorrow is too late. Today I will start.” “To grow in life you must be able to suffer.” “I don't celebrate, ever. Because when I start celebrating, I get complacent.” “You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft that you will die without ever realizing your true potential.” “Suffering is a test. That's all it is.” “The most important conversations you'll ever have are the ones you'll have with yourself.” “Everyone fails. The big difference is how you deal with it.” “A warrior is a guy that goes, "You know what? Anything that's going to hurt me, I'm going to go fight that".” “Most of us give up when we've only given around 40 percent of our maximum effort.” “The only person who can truly hold you back is yourself.” “Be uncommon amongst uncommon people.” “I don't stop when I'm tired. I stop when I'm done.” “The 40% Rule: when your mind tells you you're done, you're actually only 40% done.” “Callous your mind.” “Your mind is the most powerful weapon you have. Use it or it will use you.” “You must be willing to fail. And you must be willing to appreciate and take away things from that failure.” “We live in a world with a lot of insecure, jealous people. Some of them are our best friends. They are dream killers.” “If you're not willing to suffer, you will never know what your true limits are.” “Who's gonna carry the boats? Who's gonna carry the logs?” “You are not built to be comfortable. You are built to be challenged.” “Motivation is crap. Motivation comes and goes. When you're driven, whatever is in front of you will get destroyed.” “The only way to grow is to get to a place where you're uncomfortable.” “When you think you're done, you're only at 40% of your body's capability.” “Stay hard.”
