“No one is going to come help you. No one’s coming to save you.”

As human beings, it is still our responsibility to hold ourselves accountable regardless of what is going on in the world around us.

Discipline is the only thing that continues to save myself from all the hell that life brings my way.

Sometimes your best friend just might be the person you don’t want to be around at all.

Don’t let society be the judge of how hard you have worked – if you do, you will always underachieve!

My happiness is my reflection on the suffering during my journey and knowing that I never quit nor was I guided by anybody on this earth.

We are all walking separate journeys so it is impossible for someone to know when your journey starts & ends.

The hardest thing in the world is to continuously fall and stay motivated!

Make sure when adversity comes your way, your family sees you smiling in its face!

It’s a lot more than mind over matter. It takes relentless self discipline to schedule suffering into your day, every day.

The more you face challenges, the less you fear them.

If you don’t want to be ordinary, you have to act like every meal you have is the last fucking meal you will ever have! You must have an insatiable desire for more!

Life is designed to test the human soul.

We have to visualize a successful victory before we even start a very difficult challenge.

It’s possible to transcend anything that doesn’t kill you.

One thing we all need to realize – the fear is in your mind. The fear is what we have created. If we created it, we have the antidote to destroy it!

We don’t like those people in our lives who spot check us to make sure we are staying focused and not slipping.

When someone hurts you, it’s because they’re hurt. Their hurt is simply spilling over. They need help.

Authentic men aren’t afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they’re sad, admit it when they’re wrong, and ask for help when they need it.

As I pen these words, tears flow from my pained heart onto my trembling lips, and the soul seeks release from daily abuse.

We suffered. We worried. We lost. We wept. But loved, and laughed, and cared, and helped.

Gratitude to all the coaches, teachers and mentors of the game who helped me understand this game better.

I have been playing with boys, which is helpful for me.

If you’re able to help some people and make them smile and make them realize that life is good, then that’s worth so much more than buying a pair of shoes.

I hope you find someone who matches your passion and your efforts. Someone who is mentally and emotionally equipped enough to help build you back up in your time of need.
