With every breath and every thought, you decide what you want more of. Choose darkness, or have faith. Of this you can be certain: Life will reply.

Here, on the rough days, is exactly where you make yourself. Like you had glue or nails or screws and all the building material you ever needed. Right here. Right now. Here is where you become the person you always wanted to be.

If only smells a lot like regret, and regret isn't going to help. Action is going to help. Resolve is going to help.

People often know what they want, but not what they need.

Stop waiting for the next bus to success. The Success Bus is flying by at 100 mph, and it's not going to stop. You have to get on the road and start hoofing it. Only action can save you.

Just admit it . . . and free yourself.

Swallow hard and bite down on that pain. Bite on your finger, bite on your cheek, do whatever you have to do to get where you want to go in the workout—and maybe in your job and your life.

Sometimes, you misread things. You can have a great gut instinct, but you're bound to get some wrong.

It's a simple question, but pretty much the answer to every complaint you've ever made in your entire life.
