You have to have a patience for exercise. You have to have a patience for college. You have to have a patience for relationships. Once the momentum gets going it takes on a life all of its own.

There's only one why. You only have one why, and your why is fully formed by the time you're 17, 18 or 19years old, maybe even earlier. The rest of your life are simply opportunities to either live in or out of balance and the career choices we make and the decisions we make in our lives either put us in balance with our why, which makes us happy, fulfilled and inspired. Or it puts us out of our why, which makes us frustrated, stressed out and sometimes we fail.

The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it's time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason - to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do.

I have to have an impact. That's what drives me to practice to make sure my words are clear and my stories are compelling. Right. Because it matters.

I'd rather play in the major leagues and have some bad games than play consistently good ball in the minors.

Focus on long term success but be willing to make short term adjustments to get there

To succeed takes more than the desire to win. It also takes the acceptance that we could fail.
