Learn to take criticism

Every single criticism is not an attack on your character.

Sometimes, you just suck.

And people tell you so that you can improve.

Listen!

When you talk you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.

The meaning of strength

Strength does not come from what yo can do. It comes from overcoming the things you thought you could not do.

Be yourself

I realize I have frailties and weaknesses, perhaps, even in a larger degree than most of my fellow men, but I cannot be anything but myself. If I attempted to do so, I know in advance I would make a complete failure of it.

The iron

The iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

Self-Doubt

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure.

I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, “My back hurts, my feet hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.”

We alle have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.

The choice is yours

Fear has two meanings: Forget everything and run or, face everything and rise. The choice is yours.

Life quality

I don’t exercise to add years to my life. I exercise to add life to my years.

Nothing wrong with making mistakes

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.
