1. It will get tough before it gets easy. It always seems only possible once it is done. Quit making excuses.

2. If others can do it, you can, too. There will always be an unfair advantage; you need to find yours.

3. Speak to yourself: God is always with me. I am the best, I can do it, I am a winner, and Today is my day.

4. Tell yourself that Today is better than yesterday. I am not a quitter; I was born to win. I learn from my mistakes. Everything is going to be okay.

5. When you feel like falling, turn on your eagle mode and fly higher. When you feel tired, turn on your lion mode and roar louder. When you feel like giving up, turn on your beast mode and keep fighting.

6. See yourself as an eagle and dominate the sky. See yourself as a lion and be the king of the jungle. See yourself as a champion and never give up.

7. You will not make your mark by following a path but your own by creating.

8. Trust process. One day, your “soon” will be replaced with “finally”.

9. Growth takes much longer than we think, and then it happens much faster than we ever thought. It happens gradually, then seems suddenly.

10. Do not leave when things appear difficult; stay on and give it your best.

11. Remember why you started.

12. Be proud of yourself because you have survived the days you thought you could not.

13. Remember when you thought you could never survive, but you did it? You can do it again.

14. I know you are tired, but you did not come all this way for nothing.

15. Believe that your sacrifice, silent cries and hard work will pay off someday.

16. It always seems only possible once it is done.

17. Be impeccably prepared.

18. You can do this.
