“Act like a champion, and then become one.”

“The first step is the most important. It is the most crucial and the most effective as it will initiate the direction you have chosen.”

“Just identify the very first physical action you need to take, and do it.”

“Share your aspirations only with those who will support you, not those who will respond with doubt or lack of interest.”

“Like everything in life, it is not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts.”

“It is one thing to know what should be done, it is another to do it.”

“There are three types of people in this world. Firstly, there are people who make things happen. Then there are people who watch things happen. Lastly, there are people who ask, what happened? Which do you want to be?”

“Look for solutions, instead of being difficult; be more thoughtful, instead of allowing anger to burn you out. Look at things from a different perspective, embrace change, look out for opportunities and you will feel much more in control.”

“The only test is what you see when you look in a mirror.”

“Athletes who are able to stay completely focused in pursuit of their dreams are the ones that are most likely to become champions.”

“It is action that creates motivation.”

“See it first in your mind, then become it.”

“To deliver your own personal maximum, you’ll realise there are no shortcuts; if you want to be a champion it is all about rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in.”

“If not you, who?”

“If you remain static and wait for success to come to you it will certainly not happen.”

“You have to create your self-belief by going to your core to find the probable reasons for the negativity in you, and then demolish them.”

“Explore. Train your conscious mind and your subconscious mind to start working for you by getting those great powers to move in a new direction. Start creating your own good luck today.”

“If not now, when?”

“Although you can’t go back in time and alter your natural level of potential, you can determine how much of that ability you tap into, exploit and develop for the future.”

“Mix with positive-minded people as a means to tap into your unexploited potential.”
