thinking way impossible
It is impossible, after a certain point, to go back to a previous way of life, a previous way of thinking.
real doubt alive
When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive.
thinking feelings trying
Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold onto something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t come back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain.
writing impact connections
For me, speaking to anyone - on a stage, in an elevator - I am looking for impact and connection. The same goes for writing.
ideas hustle want
If you have an idea of what you want to do in your future, you must go at it with almost monastic obsession...you have to go at it single-mindedly and let nothing get in your way.
mean trying ifs
It'll destroy you if you try to make it mean anything to anyone but yourself.
fighting bodybuilding iron-will
There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's impossible to turn back.
inspiration humble intimidating
Most of the writers I like just intimidate and humble me but in that there's a good deal of inspiration to be had as well.
done littles anticipation
If I had to live my life in anticipation of what others thought of me, little would get done.
flew-up iron want
When the Iron doesn't want to come off the mat, it's the kindest thing it can do for you. If it flew up and went through the ceiling, it wouldn't teach you anything.
country way
A great way to learn about your country is to leave it.
fighting people trying
I like it better that people aren't throwing stuff at my face and trying to fight me on stage. Like in the '80s, it was just aggravating all the time. I have scars from cigars and cigarettes on me, Bic pens, burns from cigarette lighters, all that.
relationship sad life-and-death
It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.
strength running workout
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds
