John C. Maxwell Quotes

Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve you have to win the war in your thinking first.

My strength was probably more the mental side of the game rather than the skill side. I always had that self-belief that I was good enough. You have got to believe you are good enough, otherwise there is no point to it.

I believe in mind over matter and doing anything you set your mind on.

Success comes from within, not from without.

I believe a champion wins in his mind first, then plays the game, not the other way around.

Mental strength is really important because you either win or lose in your mind.

First, do enough training. Then believe in yourself and say: I can do it. Tomorrow is my day. And then say: the person in front of me, he is just a human being as well; he has two legs, I have two legs, that is all. That is mentally how you prepare.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

Regard every suggestion that your life may be a failure, that you are not made like those who succeed, and that success is not for you, as a traitor, and expel it from your mind as you would a thief from your house.

You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which 'clicks.'

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

I never thought I wouldn't succeed. Not because I thought I was good-looking - I just thought I would make it.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

As is our confidence, so is our capacity.

To be a champ you have to believe in yourself when no one else will.

Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.

Some people say that I have an attitude- Maybe I do. But I think that you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does- that makes you a winner right there.

Football was my saving grace so I want to let people know that you can achieve whatever you want. People like to concentrate on what you can't do, so let's preach what you can. Why would I want to talk about not being quick when I'm strong? That's what I want to get across.

You always have to believe in yourself! I think that is the most important thing.

At the end of the day, you can be physically strong, you can have all the tools out there, but if your mental state isn't good enough, you can't bring yourself to bigger and better things.

So far in my career, I've achieved what I've achieved because I've believed that I could do it. And I've never believed that anyone's better than me, because I think when you start doing that, you've already lost the fight.

That's why I won: because I believed I had a chance.

I am convinced that anyone can accomplish anything.

It's all mental. I just have to worry about my game.

I'm more about mind over muscle. My mindset needs to be the fittest, because it drags my body through whatever needs to be done. A lot of people neglect training their mind and their self-belief, but I believe that's crucial.
