NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Pain is a part of life. But many times, we have a choice. Not a choice of whether or not there's going to be a pain, but the choice of what type of pain we are going to allow in our lives."

"We can have the pain of staying the same or we can have the pain of change."

"Be brave enough to suck at something new."

"If we want to be good at something, we have to go through being bad at it."

"Professionals are amateurs like us. The only difference is that they tried, failed, learned, and improved more than anybody else."

"Failing is you're trying something new; you didn't do it right. And you have the opportunity to learn from it and get better. Failure, on the other hand, is an active choice to stay exactly where you are and not move forward."

"Even if you have the best achievement of your life, you are never done growing."

"If you stop evolving, someone is going to take your position."

"Mental toughness doesn't make you invincible. It makes you adaptable."

"Good results aren't always the result of good things. And bad results aren't always the result of bad things."

"Good results alone will not make you better. Doing the right things will."
