Having opinions

Too many people have opinions on things they know nothing about. And the more ignorant they are, the more opinions they have.

Keep calm

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Music

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

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.

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.
