Look for small victories and build on that. Each small victory, even if it is just getting up five minutes earlier, gives you confidence. You realize that these little victories make you feel great, and you keep going. You realize that being paralyzed by fear of failure is worse than failure.

You have to fight, you have to have courage for what you really want

The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.

I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.

Trust yourself,..dig deep down and ask yourself who you want to be? Not what, but who?

I set out to be the best and I am.

I'd always wanted to tell people that when I work on my body I'm thinking about classical sculpture, so I jumped at the chance to show off body building as an art form.
