Heart is what separates the good from the great.
Life is a sport...drink it up.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
I'd like to be settled into somewhat of a normal life. Somewhat. I know it's never going to be completely normal.
I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it... I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it's an illusion to me.
One day, you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Don't laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.
I wasn't really a work-conscious type of person. I was a player. I loved to play sports.
My challenge when I came back was to face the young talent, dissect their games, and show them maybe that they needed to learn more about the game than just the money aspect.
Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
We all fly. Once you leave the ground, you fly. Some people fly longer than others.
I'm not a Twitterer, I'm not a twerker, I'm not a Facebooker, I'm not nothing. I'm old school.
