You hold your future in your own hands. Never waver in this belief. Don't swagger. The boy who swaggers - like the man who swaggers - has little else thathe can do.

As a quality it is one of the finest attributes of manliness.

All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight orthe wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your lifethey will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.

I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul. - William Ernest Henley Invictus

 

[ballislife32688]

Why do I succeed?
I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not.
I will fight against the odds.
I will sacrifice.
I am not shackled by fear, insecurity or doubt.
I feel those emotions--drink them in and then swallow them away to the blackness of hell.
I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride.
Pride consumes the weak--kills their heart from within.
If I fall--I will get up. If I am beaten--I will return.
I will never stop getting better. I will never give up--ever.
That is why I succeed

 

[mcflyyy]

[h4]Psalm 27[/h4][h5]Of David.[/h5] [sup]1[/sup] The LORD is my light and my salvation-
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life-
of whom shall I be afraid?
[sup]2[/sup] When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh, [sup][a][/sup]
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.

[sup]3[/sup] Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.

Everybody pities the weak. Jealousy you have to earn." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

[ballislife32688]

Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thingclean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when theenemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00,he is home. He knows only The Cause.

"Its not about making it thru the storm, Its about how you dance in the rain."

 

[ballislife32688]

Look me in the eye. It's ok if you're scared. So am I. But we're scared for different reasons. I'm scared of what I won't become, andyou're scared of what I could become. Look at me. I won't let myself end where I started. I won't let myself finish where I began. Look me in theeyes. I have something more important more courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am."

 

[ballislife32688]

Control the thoughts before they become words, control the words before they become actions, control the actions before they become destiny.

It's never too late to become what you might have been.
