When you promise yourself something, make a commitment, you can't give up. Because, when you're in the gym, you have to fulfill the promise you made to yourself. The people who can self motivate - in any field - are usually the ones who win. Regardless of talent.

Everyone has the ability to accomplish unique feats, everyone. You choose this. Become someone great in one other life. Forget about failing to many. Who cares? Doesn't matter when you start or finish, just start, no deviations, no excuses.

Bodybuilding has been my life; if it weren't for bodybuilding, I don't know what I'd be doing. I look at bodybuilding as who I am.

If you fully believe you will be successful and can visualize yourself being successful, you will succeed

I don't believe in luck. Luck comes to men of action.
