Are your thoughts empowering or limiting?
Winners win in life because they win the battle in their mind first!
Your opinion of yourself is your most important viewpoint. You are infinitely greater than you think you are.
GRIT is Guts, Resilience, Industriousness and Tenacity. GRIT is the ability to focus, stay determined, stay optimistic in the face of a challenge, and simply work harder than the next guy or gal.

Challenges ONLY make you STRONGER!!!
Equanimity is a perfect, unshakable balance of mind.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Don’t let your mind control you. Control your mind.
NO MORE. No more excuses. No more: “I’ll start tomorrow.” No more: “Just this once.” No more accepting the shortfalls of my own will. No more taking the easy road. No more bowing down to whatever unhealthy or unproductive thoughts float through my mind.
Question yourself every day. Ask yourself: Who am I? What have I learned? What have I created? What forward progress have I made? Who have I helped? What am I doing to improve myself – today? To get better, faster, stronger, healthier, smarter?
Don’t let the hard days win.
Stop saying those things that make you weak and ashamed. Say only those things that make you strong. Do only those things that you could speak of with honour.
It is necessary to be strong in the face of death, because death is intrinsic to life. It is for this reason that I tell my students: aim to be the person at your father’s funeral that everyone, in their grief and misery, can rely on. There’s a worthy and noble ambition: strength in the face of adversity.
There’s a worthy and noble ambition: strength in the face of adversity. That is very different from the wish for a life free of trouble.
You need to hear this loud and clear: No one is coming. It is up to you.
It’s a lot more than mind over matter. It takes relentless self discipline to schedule suffering into your day, every day.
The bottom line is that life is one big mind game. The only person you are playing against is yourself.
A prepared mind craves the worst conditions because it knows that pressure brings out its best and exposes almost everyone else.
Mental toughness and resilience fade if they aren’t used consistently. I say it all the time: you are either getting better, or you’re getting worse. You’re not staying the same.
