Memorable Quotes:
“When you start quitting, you run out of good options, which only leaves you negative options.”
“A lot of people say, Well, life isn't fair. It's not about whether it’s fair or not. Where do I want to go and what's in my way? And 99.9% of what was in my way was me.”
“You are the captain of your fate, you decide where your ship sails. You decide who is on your ship. It’s not the people in your life that mess up your life, it’s the people you don’t put out of your life that mess it up. If you keep bad people on your team, you’re going to lose.”
