“For this generation and the next, I have to remind ourselves and teach our children - that human beings can turn hardship into wisdom because we are born with a capacity for resilience, and we can make ourselves more resilient through practice. It’s not easy. But it’s not complicated.” - Eric Greitens, Resilience.

“If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back. No matter how you feel, get up, get dressed, dress up and show up.”

“We all know that every plane has a black box. In the event of a tragic accident, investigators go through all the data they can find and try to figure out precisely what went wrong so they can prevent another accident like it from ever happening again.” - Matthew Syed, Black Box Thinking

“Imagine your ideal self facing the challenges you have in your life. Do this consistently and you’ll find your self-image shifting and your actions more and more effortlessly aligning with this higher vision of your self.” - Maxwell Malz

It’s done and gone forever, and there’s no way to get it back. And the key in your life is to understand that that’s fine, that you’re going to learn from what happened, that you’re going to grow and get better and that living your life in the past is stopping you from having a future.

Fear does not automatically lead to courage. Injury does not necessarily lead to insight. Hardship will not automatically make us better. It is resilience that makes the difference.

People treasure what they measure. If you can’t measure it you can’t improve it. Walk the walk and get others to follow you. Be a leader that is so motivated every day that you motivate other people.

I want you to ask yourself what some of those meaningless habits are, that you have in athletic competition. Habits that don’t mean anything. They’re important but you do them automatically and without thought and association.

You can create that mindset of abundance instead of focusing on the things you don’t have. Look, we live in a comparison society. That’s why social media is so big because it allows you to open up and compare yourself against everybody else. As you connect, there’s a lot of positives of social media but we want to make sure we connect and don’t compare. Compete and don’t compare.

“If you were given the choice of anything in the world to do, what would it be? If your answer is not what you’re currently doing, Why not? Are you passionate about this one thing or do you just kind of like it?”
