"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."

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

"Invest your energy in the things you can control."

"The challenge for you is to decide not what is important, but what is most important and then focus your attention on that."

"You have to create your self-belief by going to your core to find the probable reasons for the negativity in you, and then demolish them."

"For many, lack of achievement is more a consequence of fear of taking a chance and getting uncomfortable."

"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."

"To deliver your own personal maximum, you’ll realise there are no shortcuts; if you want to be a champion it is all about rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in."

"I want to meddle with an Olympic medal made of silver metal. I want to alchemize it into gold, and use a mixture of science and mysticism to transform losing into winning."

"Your current apathy is simply your soul telling you that it is confused."

"Just identify the very first physical action you need to take, and do it."

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

"Success is a decision, not a gift."

"It is action that creates motivation."

"If not now, when?"

"Remember, if you don’t do anything – if you don’t change the way your mind works and direct your subconscious mind to create the life you want – then everything stays the same, nothing changes."

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

"You can start to change your luck today. Begin believing that you can have what you desire and superior things will arrive."

"If obstacles are large, jump higher."

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