“Drama and crisis are currency to them because they love the power to make people react. They thrive on a good fight, a good scandal, a good drama.”

Isn’t it amazing how easily you can cheat yourself out of the right choices by convincing yourself that you deserve the wrong ones? It’s highly illogical when you think about it. You deserve a better life, you deserve better health, and you deserve to lose weight.

I ask you to go back and read them over again, and this time answer them keeping in mind that you are writing your children’s future with your answers.

You have to name it to claim it

Power begins with having a crystal-clear view of reality and what each and every person in your life is driven by.

Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the decision right.

Experts indicate that you should aim for consistent weight loss of about one to two pounds per week, so you should remain realistic—you aren’t going to lose 40 pounds per week (no matter what any diet product claims).

If you want more, you have to require more from yourself.

We teach people how to treat us.

Common sense needs to be more common.

People have the right to think and say whatever they want to. But you have the right not to take it to heart, and not to react.

Hungry people are eventually going to eat, and eat with a vengeance!

I would rather be healthy alone, then sick with someone else.

Smugglin’ that by me? That’s like tryin’ to smuggle sunrise past a rooster.

I’ve not been paid millions of pounds for any fights. I’ve not made any money out of boxing.

I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years.

Fighters are never who they appear to be.

I don’t have to fight if I don’t want to.

That’s my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck’s back. If it’s not positive, I didn’t hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.

I’m a fighting man, a fighting man with generations of fighting men before me in my family. That’s all we do: we fight.

I was always the popular kid that everyone hated. There was no reason for anyone to hate me. I never really did anything wrong. They just didn’t like me, so I had to fight back all the time.

Street fight, you just ground and pound ’em. Boxing is totally different.
