They were:

1.) I’ve gotten better at ignoring that voice that says to stop…You can too!

2.)  My/Your body is capable of so much more than i ever considered it to be

3.) People vastly underestimate the length of time it takes inside of consistency 

4.) Having a target brings fuel to get started (motivation), discipline for that target is required to get there 

5.) You will never be 100% in to doing what you need to…do it anyways
