You earn self respect by a building your discipline.

You build your discipline and you earn your freedom.

It's a building block.

We all need to figure out a way on how we can help heal ourselves, figure out a way toe live through it, figure out a way to fight another day, figure out a way to live through it.

But what are you gonna dio sit around and cry?

Because sitting around and crying and sitting around and having a lot of self pity for yourself is just that That's all it's gonna promote.

It's not gonna promote you getting better.

I've never run into one person that doesn't possess the ability to get stronger.

We all possess the ability to get stronger.

You possess the ability to get stronger physically, mentally mind, body and spirit.

I think people are feeding their demons as well as feeding their dreams.

It's time to starve off the demons, and it's time to feed your dreams.

It's time to embrace your fears and follow through with your dreams.

Embrace your fears and follow through with your dreams.

Truly follow through with them.

It's time you get up off your ass and figure out a way to follow through with lift through it.

Live through it and lift through it.

You control your story.

You could be the author of your own story.

You get to write it with your own pen in your own ink in your own words, because the thoughts and opinions that are made up of other people don't have to make up who you really are.

Take that step.

Take that step to get yourself in the gym.

The greatest respect you will ever earn is self respect.

The ultimate pat on the back.

The greatest pat on the back that you'll ever earn is the one that you give yourself for proving yourself to yourself.
