"Too often, people get stuck in a state of over-thinking, the result is that they never reach a decision."

"To think is good. To obsess is bad."

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

"If you want to continue to be the best in the world, then you have to train and compete like you are second best in the world."

"Compete like you cannot fail."

"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 you decide not to take action, you are going to fail, and even if you do take action, if you can’t keep up your motivation, you will simply end up back where you started."

"If you remain static and wait for success to come to you it will certainly not happen."

"It is true to say that the secret of a winning formula is the ability to accept that there is a vast area of unexploited potential beyond what you currently perceive to be your maximum."

"Nothing could be any worse than having to turn to your friends, your colleagues and your loved ones and say –‘I gave up too soon’."

"If you have positive energy you will always attract positive outcomes."

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

"If obstacles are large, jump higher."

"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."

"A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed."

"The sprint is like life ... blink and you miss it."

"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."

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

"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."

"The first step is the most important. It is the most crucial and the most effective as it will initiate the direction you have chosen."
