The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.
Denis Waitley
This one seems so simple, but is very important and often forgotten. You have to work hard and smart in order to achieve anything.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Out there things can happen, and frequently do, to people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.
Oh, the places you’ll go!
Dr. Seuss
Life unfolds in a lot of different ways. Just live your life and enjoy every bit of it.
Go with the flow, let things happen and let yourself happen. Let the universe unfold itself.
In short: Enjoy the ride, it’s the only one you have and it’s a damn fun one (If you let it)!

If you are talking about fighting as it is, with no rules, well then, baby, you’d better train every part of your body.
Bruce Lee
They say: Don’t skip leg day.
I say: Don’t skip any day!
Legs, Arms, Abs, Back, Core, the list goes on. Training is more than muscles, it is about mindset, coordination, strength, endurance, it has a lot of facets.
And this is not only about training for fighting, of course. It applies to any kind of training and is a good reminder of diversity in the gym (or wherever you may train)

Achievements make proud, failure makes strong.
This is very important. While being successful is nice, it can also create the illusion of being unbeatable.
That’s why it is important to get a good beating once in a while. Not only does it form character, it is also a very potent teacher. Make good use of your failures and learn to worship them for their qualities.
Sometimes their is no obvious lesson in failure, but at least it will train your endurance. Being able to endure pain is a great quality, there is basically no failure that you can not make any use of!

No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch!

You can not wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club,

Inspiration does not suddenly appear, it has to be created. Action creates inspiration. Start getting active and you will be pleasantly suprised.

I used to walk into a room full of people and wonder if they liked me…
Now I look around and wonder if I like them.
It is important to make your mind up about who you want to hang around with.
The people closest to you have the greates influence on your character, you should choose them wisely. It is not your job to please everybody, nor is it your job to please random people.
First thing: Please yourself by being yourself. Become comfortable with who you are or form your character untill you are comfortable and content with who you are and what you stand for. Then you can decide wether you like people or not on your own standards.
This is how you should determine who to hang out with and whose words to listen to. Don’t let others dictate your behaviour but make conscious choices and listen only to the word of people you respect and trust for good reasons.
He who tries to please everybody will never succeed and loose his integrity as well as his happiness along the way.
