"It is action that creates motivation."

"Success is a decision, not a gift."

"The people and successes in your life mirror your beliefs."

"Success is simply never giving in to failure - either in mind or body."

"Look for solutions, instead of being difficult; be more thoughtful, instead of allowing anger to burn you out. Look at things from a different perspective, embrace change, look out for opportunities and you will feel much more in control."

"When you think a positive thought, you become positive."

"Back when I was a competitive swimmer, I used to dream of going to the Olympics. But then I changed my mind, once I found out how expensive the tickets are."

"It is one thing to know what should be done, it is another to do it."

"See it, feel it, trust it!"

"Every time a champion makes a decision they have a chance to learn something new, regardless of the outcome."

"Like everything in life, it is not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts."

"Do you want to know what one of the secrets to achieving all of your goals is? You’ve got to be committed."

"If you are able to focus unswervingly on your goals, then all that you desire will become yours."

"If not now, when?"

"Trust in your own beliefs or succumb to the influence of others’."

"If I could bronze my love, it’d be worthy of a silver medal."

"These are the people who will encourage you to go after your dreams and will inspire you to succeed. Stick to them like a barnacle to a rock."

"Compete like you cannot fail."

"Mix with positive-minded people as a means to tap into your unexploited potential."

"Lucky people will focus on what’s in front of them rather than scrabbling about for what they’re searching for."
