21 " If you don’t stand and fight for yourself, you will continue to find yourself controlled by circumstances. "
― Wallace Miles , UNDERR8TED: The Route That Caught an NFL Dream
22 " When you feel something is for you, you will endure embarrassment, scrutiny, failure, and being physically beaten for the chance to be who you are. "
23 " We must challenge ourselves to see growth in the good and the bad. There’s something in losing that will prepare you to win. When we are able to learn from these moments, we will be ready for the opportunity. "
24 " The only way to have a chance at success is to step on the field and take a chance. Good or bad partake in the experience to have something to learn and grow from. "
25 " You can find 1,000 excuses not to do something but all you need is one reason to do it. "
26 " The fastest way to earn a person respect is to show them your work ethic. The fastest way to develop a friend is to show them that you genuinely care about them as a person. "
27 " Whether it’s from within or from an outside entity viewing you objectively, it takes some real honest awareness to grow. If you don’t realize that growth needs to occur, then there is a good chance you won’t do the work necessary to do it. Accept that there is deficiency within you and decide to show up the next day to work on it. It may take an effort that is uncomfortable, but there is growth and power this way. "
28 " It’s not about how you feel now but all the time and effort you put in that makes success worth it. "
29 " What most people fail to realize is that you have the wheel. You are the captain of your ship for life. The easy road is self pity and complaining. "
30 " Thinking about what you want the end to look like will cause you to evaluate the decisions you make today. "
31 " We can only focus on about three things at a time effectively. When we try to overload, we are not able to fully learn and retain the knowledge to manage and master the situation. "
32 " Sometimes we need to hear our deficiencies, plain and straight. If we always hear how great we are it’s easy to become complacent. "
33 " Our failures are opportunities to prepare us for the success of our future. We must keep pushing even if we aren’t winning today. "
34 " The funny thing about being mad at someone else is most of the time they are completely unaffected. The only person hurting is you. It takes a conscious effort to prevent others from affecting your thoughts, mood, and progress. It’s yours for a reason "
35 " Awareness is the difference between good and great. It can be the difference between life and death. Improve your awareness and you will improve your life. "
36 " Feel, hear, and realize when an angel appears in your life to help move you out of the madness you are headed toward. It’s ok to listen. "
37 " Let your passion lead your decisions and avoid following the group. "
38 " Feel what pulls you. What gives you butterflies when you're near it. Even if you're not good at it right now put your plan together. Work the plan. "
39 " You need to work into your passions. The effort of leaning into what you are willing to generates confidence in oneself. Confidence radiates from you and lifts you in all areas in you life. "
