“You can draw a path for your life and have all of your goals set. You can change yourself as much as possible and change things around you just to reach those goals.”

Take responsibility for the choices you could have made but restrained yourself from making.

Never wish them pain. That’s not who you are. If they caused you pain, they must have pain inside. Wish them healing. That’s what they need.

If they don’t appreciate your presence, they may never recognize your absence.

My home will never welcome me if I don’t welcome me.

Never underestimate the power of fate. It can knock down the highest of goals that seem guaranteed in your life.

It was the weirdest thing ever. I said to myself: why are people always so okay with not having me in their lives?

Own your healing as you’ve owned your pain.

If you ever get the chance to treat them the way they treated you, I hope you choose to walk away and do better.

Don’t judge people and expect them to stand by your side.

If I only give you what you deserve, at least keep me away from what I don’t deserve.

Don’t play with fire and expect to stay perfectly safe.

Don’t see the worst in a person and expect them to see the best in you.

When you know what are you are doing and have a clear vision of where you are going, you will not need to chase opportunities. Opportunities will seek you. Happiness will chase you. And, instead of being a choice, you will be the one choosing.

Respect me, not because I respect you, but because I deserve your respect.

Whatever you do, do it with purpose.

I’d rather be disappointed by the truth than satisfied with a lie.

Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world.

Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them.

I don’t have a daily routine, beyond brushing my teeth. It changes every day.

A State without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.

Fighting is a sport; if you’re not humble it’s going to bring humbleness to you.

I can be the nice family man at home, and then when I go to the gym, maybe sparring with someone, I switch into beast mode. It ain’t pretty.

I’m gonna try and change the course of hip hop again.

I couldn’t change anything without changing the end position, and I’m perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it’s left me here.
