As you start and end your day, be thankful for every little thing in your life. You will come to realize how blessed you truly are.

Opportunity follows struggle. It follows effort. It follows hard work. It doesn't come before.

Surround yourself with positive people who will support you when it rains, not just when it shines.

The losses help create you as much as the wins.

The sacrifice always has to be greater than the dream.
