“Showing weakness will encourage your opponents. It inspires them. It encourages them to hit harder. To come faster. But when you don't show any fear, or when you don't show any hurt, you have the opportunity to discourage your opponent. You discourage your enemies. The bottom line is, if you think properly, you don't even have to think about all of that. All you have to think about is that guy across from me is human, and so am I. And he'll never out-work me. He'll never out-think me. And if you can't out-work me, and you can't out-think me, you'll never beat me.” IfsThinkingHumansShowsGuyOpportunityHurtLinesEnemyInspireBeatsWeaknessHarderBottomFasterOpponentsBottom LineDiscouragingThat Guy Author:Jim Brown
“When you are dealing with a serious compulsion or addictive pattern, then by definition self-will, self-discipline, and any other machinations of the conscious mind are not enough by themselves to handle the problem.

But clearly the real problem, and therefore the real solution, is on another level of consciousness, and that is where the spiritual work comes in.” PeopleKnowsLooksRealSometimesStatesProblemSpiritualLevelsUnitedConsciousnessUnited StatesIssuesStupidExerciseEatingSolutionsBunchNutritionStupid PeopleObesityReal ProblemsMetabolismSpiritual Work Author:Marianne Williamson
