Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Quotes

I believe you are never past the point of creating opportunities for yourself.

There's an awful lot of future out there, and what you got to do, is you go to out and grab it, wrestle it to the ground, accept the challenges, and then decide. You've got the skills. You've got the knowledge. You've got the love, and you're capable of moving forward and making a great life yourself.

You can become whoever you want to be. You can do what you want to do.

You are not the product of your circumstances. You are a composite of all the things you believe, and all the places you believe you can go. Your past does not define you. You can step out of your history and create a new day for yourself. Even if the entire culture is saying, "You can't." Even if every single possible bad thing that can happen to you does. You can keep going forward.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

You can do anything you want to do.

I knew that I did not have to buy into society's notion that I had to be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my 'spaceship' and it was my up, my down. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life again.

I realized that I had the ability to carve out a life for myself, that it was in no way limited by what had already occurred in my past. And that inspired me to go to school.

It would be cool to let people know that it doesn't matter what kind of background you have in your past, that you can still make something out of your life.

There's no way in hell I'm supposed to be on television or be a broadcaster of any regard. But I have defied those odds because I believe in this: I am damn sure not going to let somebody else define who I am.

Never let your circumstances determine your outcome in life.

Pursuing your dreams involves you accepting where you want to go. Don't allow anybody else to talk you out of things or discourage you from doing whatever you want to do. You can hold on to your dream and never pursue it or you can start pursuing it. If you can see it, or if you can envision it... it can happen.

Focus on your dream and do everything in your power. You have the power to change your life circumstances.

No matter what our age or what kind of problems we have, we can begin to make positive changes today.

If you have a past with which you feel dissatisfied, then forget it, now. Imagine a new story for your life and believe in it. Focus only on the moments when you achieved what you desired, and that strength will help you to get what you want.

Be all you can be in whatever you choose to do. The sky is the limit, so go for it. And do not create any self-imposed limitations.

If you believe in yourself you can make yourself whatever you want to be.

The past explains how I got here, but the future is up to me - and I love to live life at full throttle.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it's shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it's a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.

What people tell me they take away from my books is that they can shape their lives, they can achieve their own dreams. And certainly that's what I want them to take away.

It doesn't matter what you're trying to accomplish. It's all a matter of discipline. I was determined to discover what life held for me beyond the inner-city streets.

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

You can't let your past hold your future hostage.

I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.
