Quotes:

“Mindset trumps mechanics. Success is 80 to 90% psychology, only 10 to 20% strategy.”

“Don’t fear failure; fear regret. Action mitigates fear. The only thing worse than failure is not living up to your potential.”

“Gratitude is the most powerful emotion for achievement. It’s impossible to be fearful and grateful at the same time.”
