“Athletes who are able to stay completely focused in pursuit of their dreams are the ones that are most likely to become champions.”

“Act like a champion, and then become one.”

“Those who stay will be champions”

“Treat yourself like a fat person with aches and pains and a suitcase full of excuses, and good luck--you'll stay exactly where you are. Train like an athlete and, though you may not look like one now, you will become one.”

“Once taken off one task without completing the transaction, the mind continues to seek closure. Fight to stay focused on the task at hand.”

“Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.”
