Meditation is hard. You are constantly trying to focus on one thing, usually your breath, and your mind is going to go berserk.

There’s no point in being unhappy about things you can’t change, and no point being unhappy about things you can.

Meditation suffers from a towering PR problem.… If you can get past the cultural baggage, though, what you’ll find is that meditation is simply exercise for your brain.

The act of catching yourself wandering and coming back to your breath is a bicep curl for your brain.

Meditation is just simple brain exercise. I exercise and this made sense to me.

Prepare like no other, know that there was nothing left for you to do when it's all said and done. This way a loss is just a stat. The better man will always win if he prepared like no other.

Your demons may have been ejected from the building, but they’re out in the parking lot, doing push-ups.”)
