“Telling an athlete, student, employee, what they are doing wrong is a huge mental error in performance. The power of thinking about what NOT to do pollutes the brain with the picture and idea of missing, not completing, and filling it with what you want to avoid. Language is powerful that even a hint of what you are trying to avoid can be fateful.”

“Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.”

“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right and evil doesn’t become goo, just because it’s accepted by a majority.”
