Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Compassion is concern of others' well being.

One of the most effective ways to overcome anxiety is to try to shift the focus of attention away from self and toward others.

Through awareness, you get a certain attitude. That's the way, you see, to achieve more peaceful, more compassion, more friendship through that way.

True change is within; leave the outside as it is.

No matter what activity or practice we are pursuing, there isn't anything that isn't made easier through constant familiarity and training (I think you can apply this to soccer as well)

Destructive thoughts and emotions undermine the very causes of peace and happiness. If you think clearly about it, it makes no sense to think you’re seeking happiness, if you do nothing to restrain angry, spiteful, and malicious thoughts and emotions.
