Throughout my career, the pounding in my heart, the fright, has been ever-present, but I never turned back. Fear can be a highly motivational part of the journey.

I realized I love motivating and I love empowering and I love inspiring people. I did that as an athlete for 18 years, and I am able to do that as a motivational speaker now as well as doing work on television.

Giving back, doing motivational speeches and stuff like that, that's always made me feel good. If you repeatedly go out there, and you are the change that you want to see, then that's what you are.

I don't feel pressure, I don't see it as any way a burden, it's a motivational thing.

Our subliminal mental processes operate outside awareness because they arise in these portions of our mind that are inaccessible to our conscious self; their inaccessibility is due to the architecture of the brain rather than because they have been subject to Freudian motivational forces like repression.

Motivation will almost always beat mere talent.

Never give in and never give up.

The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name.

Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.

Never complain and never explain.
