Some people take certain things and they try to forget what that pain felt like. I don't. I take that same pain and I chase it every time I walk in a weight room.
You can't take no breaks.
Man doesn't dictate what you do or how you do it. If you believe in God, believe in God; have your faith in him. That's where my faith lies.
Daddy wasn't there for me, so I had to grind every day.

Bottom line, your body is a temple, and you have to treat it that way. That's how God designed it.
You got to be willing to walk in a storm. That's what I tell people all the time.

Effort is between you and you.
You have to be careful of people who like to talk a big game but can't back it up.
