“A high performer is someone who says, ‘I want to be the best at what I’m doing.’”

Aliveness doesn’t happen in silence. Aliveness doesn’t happen in repression. Aliveness happens in action.

If your guard is up, let it down. If you’ve constructed a defensive wall to protect yourself and keep all the bad guys out, don’t forget who that wall also prevents from getting in – the good guys.

As soon as you seek to inspire others, it inspires the best in you.

We have to reconceptualize and understand that the act of pursuing our dreams and being our full selves is what allows us to feel alive.

The more we are true to ourselves, the more we can connect with and contribute to the world.

Fear wins or Freedom wins, and I choose Freedom.

It is the main motivation of mankind to be free, to express our true selves and pursue our dreams without restriction–to experience what may be called Personal Freedom.

A lot of people have the ambition, but they never ask themselves, Do I really believe I can do this?

When you are congruent in your personal life, you will be congruent in your business life.

The best way to truly understand narrative art is to experience it.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.

When I was a young stunt guy the director would say: “You’re useless” But I wanted to be the best, I wanted to be a super stunt guy. That’s how I built myself, because of martial arts and everything.

The best spiritual instruction is when you wake up in the morning and say, ‘I wonder what’s going to happen today.’ And then carry that kind of curiosity through your life.

You don’t have to build the habits everyone tells you to build. Choose the habit that best suits you, not the one that is most popular.
