I hated motivators - never been a motivator. Motivation is like a warm bath, and you should take a bath probably, but you need more than that; you need strategy. I was a strategist, but nobody responded to that, so I was, like, "OK, what am I? I'm a coach. I'm not a guru." As an athlete, I had great coaches, and I was a better athlete than many of them, but they still were better than I was as a coach because they could see when I couldn't see. I thought, that's great, because I'm not better than anybody, but I do have the skills that I can help people.

Losers react,leaders anticipate.

I'm a strategist, not a motivator. I'm obsessed with finding strategies that create real results in the shortest period of time.

Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully.

Everybody's life is either rewarding or an example.

It's not resources but resourcefulness that ultimately makes the difference.

You must find a more empowering source of comfort, connection, and control than food. Perhaps a creative outlet, helping others, becoming active in an organization, whatever.
