"The moment your trauma happened is the only moment it truly existed, and everything past that point is your responsibility." (20:04)

"Consistency isn't about perfection, it's about persistence." (37:41)

"Action is the cure to self-doubt, and action is also the motivator. People often ask, 'What motivates you to keep going?' It's the action itself. Once you start moving, once you start doing, you find reasons to continue. You find the motivation in the progress, in the small wins, and in the changes you see in yourself. It's not about waiting for motivation to strike; it's about creating it through action." (1:07:36)

"Your mindset can get you through any single challenge that you're going. Your mindset can also take you down deeper. You have to choose what depth you're going to, am I going into depth of love or am I going into depth of portraying self-hate? It's powerful either way, it can destroy you or it can build you into something that is beyond anything that you can ever imagine." (1:22:52)

"Our current mindset dictates what we believe is possible for us, and that's what we'll experience as being possible. But when we we open up and expand our mindset to greater possibility, then those those possibilities become possible for us yeah" (1:24:18)

"Improving myself over proving myself has been the biggest shift for me recently." (12:27:56)
