Quotable:

"I started to realize that life will give you weight. It will fuel heavy, but the weight was never supposed to kill you or hurt you. It was supposed to develop you."

"I have a finite amount of time. The game isn't gonna be forever. I gotta get it while I can. I gotta at least try this. I gotta go after something, cause one day I'm gonna be gone so I might as well try it now. I call this the law mortality of just understanding that it's not forever. So you might as well go as hard as you can."

"I made a commitment to myself that if I don't like this and I realize that it's based on how I view it.

Am I willing to do whatever it takes to shift my perspective and get to where I want to get to?"
