Powerful Quotes

  • Our thoughts are our choice. Most people don’t know how to make the right choice with thoughts because they haven’t been taught what the wrong or right thoughts are.
  • If you’re struggling with confidence, act as if you’re not struggling with it.
  • If you can change the thoughts, then you can change the behavior and the way you feel and control performance at a much higher level.
  • When a person is not using visualization and effective goal setting, they cannot be performing at their potential
  • With the same problem that you experience, you must put the same energy into recognizing the improvements.
  • During performance, do not be afraid of cocky. When you get out of your performance, be a human being.
  • Self-image is determined by how we talk to ourselves about ourselves.
  • Sometimes there are things worse than death. There have been many people in our country that have said the worst thing in life is fear. And for me, I would rather not be alive than living in fear.
