“"My #1 guiding principle for a successful life (learned from J Brad Britton): "Do the right thing; not the easy thing." Everyday, you are constantly faced with choices to do either the right thing (any activity that moves you closer to where and who you want to be) or the easy thing (anything else). In every moment of choice, choose to do the right thing over the easy thing, and your becoming successful is inevitable.” WantMomentsMovingChoicesEasyPrinciplesSuccessfulBecomingGratitudeActivityEverydayInevitableRight ThingBradSuccessful LifeEasy ThingsBecoming SuccessfulGuiding Principles Author:Hal Elrod

So there has to be a level of amnesia for a fighter.” NeedsAbleMovingFightingNextWinningBitsSidesLossForgetLevelsSuccessfulLosingPatternsStuckFighterBeing SuccessfulMmaAmnesiaUnstoppable Author:Rich Franklin

“A majority of the successful women on the pop scene conform to what a woman is supposed to be. Some have tried to get things moving. They have tried to modify the image.
