1 " With each shift in life we encounter, we must understand how we react to the change. As we move through life we must learn from each transition. Eventually when we are met with change/adversity we can move through it much quicker and find the solution. "
― Wallace Miles , UNDERR8TED: The Route That Caught an NFL Dream
2 " Change is uncomfortable initially. Adapting to change, will at the very least, stretch your ability to handle change in the future. It will require you to learn new skills. It’s an opportunity to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. When you understand how it feels, nothing can stop you on your journey. "
3 " Be in the moment but think bigger than how you feel in the moment. Never allow your ego, selfishness, or pride to cause you to think you are bigger than the program. Don’t let your ego, selfishness, or pride cut your legacy short. "
4 " Every change comes with adjustments and with those adjustments comes growth. "
5 " When your why is branded across your heart and mind, no resistance will be able to outlast your determination and drive. "
6 " No matter how depleted or broken down you get in a situation, know your mind is like any other part of the body. It stretches and strengthens. The next time you’re faced with adversity, understand you’re preparing your mind to take on more weight. "
7 " The power of our emotional mind is astounding. Unless you are made aware that there is a war to be had, it will control and govern your feelings, words, and actions without you even knowing. "
8 " When you are new to succeeding, it’s easy to fall back into the old losing habits. You have to continue the positive self-talk. Most importantly we have to continue intense preparation and focus. If you don’t, you’ll end up allowing the doubt to conquer. "
9 " Some people get so caught in planning and trying to do things in the right way and in the right order they forget the most important thing about growth. The doing. "
10 " Never get too high. It’s a setup for a longer emotional fall. Never get too low bc the mountain will begin to appear insurmountable. Stay somewhere in between. You will be able to maintain the mental balance for the peaks and valleys. "
11 " When you get tired, the mind is the first thing to go. "
12 " It’s important to open up to others about your goals. It’s a symbol of trust. You give them permission to hold you accountable. Even if they never say a word, you know they know. Your honor and self respect are now at risk if you quit. "
13 " Opportunity is seized in the preparation, long before the moment. "
14 " Tough is temporary. Your muscles will adapt to anything you challenge them to do consistently. "
15 " Even though it may not be what you want to do, go hard anyway. We can’t always be where we want to be when we want to be there or do what we want to do when we want to do it, but there are skills to develop in the place we are, that can elevate you when you reach the place you want to be. "
16 " You must have your own personal goals. But you must understand that you need a system (a group of people) to prevail. "
17 " Different seasons require us to grow and develop different attributes of the whole you. We have to intentionally decide what those attributes are, and focus our intent to grow those disciplines. We have to harvest all we can from each season because our future requires the foundation from the present. If we don’t take advantage now we will begin to get left behind. "
18 " There will be times the frustration and torment will be constantly eating at you and you will experience disrespect at every turn. It will take constant mental warfare to combat all these negative forces. You will have to decide to unleash yourself upon the world. "
19 " Overcoming discomfort starts with a decision to begin and then decisions to continue. "
20 " Setting goals is easy but starting and continuing the journey is hard. When the times get tough remember your why. Your mind will settle and you will be stronger for going through the pain. "
