“The work that hurts you less than it hurts others is the work you were made to do.”

The most practical way to change who you are is to change what you do.

Your culture sets your expectation for what is normal. Surround yourself with people who have the habits you want to have yourself.

Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.

Some people spend their entire lives waiting for the time to be right to make an improvement.

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.

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Find a way to get started in less than two minutes.

Habits are like the atoms of our lives. Each one is a fundamental unit that contributes to your overall improvement.

At some point it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day, doing the same lifts over and over and over.

Problem #1: Winners and losers have the same goals.

True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking. It’s not about any single accomplishment. It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement.

Whenever you feel authentic and genuine, you are headed in the right direction.

Getting 1 percent better every day counts for a lot in the long-run.

Success is the product of daily habits – not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.

If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead.

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

A habit is a routine or behavior that is performed regularly—and, in many cases, automatically.

There’s this thing that hurts inside me all the time. Because I know what’s coming.

This is the residue of sin on planet earth. Things are broken. People are hurting. The night is here. Darkness is upon us. Yet shining in the night is a Savior, and He has come to shine on you.

Let’s never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let’s do as General Eisenhower does: let’s never waste a minute thinking about people we don’t like.

I compare myself to the leaves; dead, yet dancing in the breeze. Is it meant to hurt this much, falling from the trees?

I see you try to hurt me bad. Don’t know what you’re up against. Maybe you should reconsider; come up with another plan. Cause you know I’m not that kinda girl. I’ll just get back up again.

Each time I fall back in love with myself, I leave my pen and paper behind. It isn’t personal, or maybe it is. I just a always thought that poetry was for the hurting.

Stop blaming love when it’s people who hurt you.

If you have to make laws to hurt a group of people just to prove your morals and faith, then you have no true morals or faith to prove.
