Jacob's Journeying

The following are rare quotes I have transcribed and compiled from speeches. Enjoy.
"Society and the media starts giving you this mass-thinking. That ya know what, 'resign yourself to average, spend the best years of your life watching TV in a subdivision, you can't be healthy like an athlete, you can't be optimistic like an A player, or build a company, or build the house of your dreams, or change the world, or find the love you want.' Resign yourself to mediocrity is the message that mass-thinking gives you your entire life. So many of us wake up everyday in fear... we're scared. We are so frightened to leave the box. We work in a box, we drive to the office in a box, eat lunch out of a box, go home and live in a box, spend hours every night watching a box, then we die in a box... and we call it a life. And my intent, my passion, my promise to you is to remind you, you're not supposed to live and die in a box and to not believe in that mass-thinking." - Robin Sharma
"Things I know I should do, I don't do. Things I shouldn't do, I do. I have found the biggest enemy you have to deal with is yourself." - Les Brown
"Please remember that you are built to shine, great things are coming your way, you are not average, the darkness will pass, and you were meant to fly." - Robin Sharma
"Own it. Don't bury it in booze or pills. Live your life. Embrace your life. With physical activity, jiu jitsu, nature, laughter, good memories, creativity, and discipline. Discipline yourself... so you can free yourself and move forward... into the future." - Jocko Willink
"It doesn't matter how bleak your current situation is. You can turn it all around. You can. Decide today that you will plan for your future and when life beats you down as you know it will, decide you'll get up. You are heading for the top." - Fearless Motivation
"If you spend too much time thinking about a thing you'll never get it done." - Bruce Lee
"You don't stop when you're tired, you stop when you're done. Say this to yourself everyday... I can get through this. I will get through this. I must get through this." - Eric Thomas
"If you're going through divorce right now, financial problems, an illness or any form of crisis right now, please remember. Crisis comes to serve the person who wants to use it as fuel. You can either choose to be a victim or use it as fuel to grow." - Robin Sharma
"Pain is always there because life is freaking painful. But suffering, suffering is a choice." - Unknown
"I was poor because I didn't have anything. I had no money, no things, we had no TV, no refrigerator, we had nothing as kids. But I was rich because I had a dream." - Arnold Schwarzenneger
"Here's the truth... no matter how easy people make things look everyone around you is struggling. Their struggles may be different than yours but they exist. They're struggling with their form or their cardiovascular endurance. Or the voice in their head that tells them they can't do it. Recuperating from an injury, recovering from a bad nights sleep, or trying to forget about their problems at work. From the outside you can't tell what's going on in someone's life. The person with the perfect body you covet may be filled with insecurities and problems. The weakest and slowest member in the gym may have an inner strength worthy of envy. The only thing guaranteed is that everyone is working through something. You're not the only one. Don't spend your time wondering why it looks so easier for someone else. It's not easy for them. It's not easy for anyone. You're not alone." - Brad Gaines
