Breaking through the glass ceiling is only possible if you are stronger than glass.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Do what no one else can do and you will become what no one else can become.
Walking on water requires feet of faith.
The high cost of greatness is better than the low cost of mediocrity.
Champions are made in the dark before they are revealed in light.
A star earns the right to shine the day it is born.
You were born a winner, you decide whether you remain one or not.
Believe in yourself, not in your critics.
You will never reach the stars without courage to lose sight of the ground.
It is impossible to make your own luck without the ingredient of hard work.
A bird does not achieve its highest potential inside its shell.
The thorny path to greatness is better than the rosy path to mediocrity.
Chase your dreams and your nightmares will grow tired of chasing you.
Believe in yourself, for the universe believes in you.
We only fall on our face to learn how to rise on our feet.
You cannot walk in a great man's shoes without getting sores on your feet.
The opinion of success matters more than the opinions of your critics.
Behind your darkest fears lie your brightest rewards.
Excellence in obscurity is better than mediocrity in the spotlight.
If you listen to critics for too long, you will become deaf to success.
Small steps of faith add up to great leaps of success.
Carving your own path gets you to greatness quicker than following someone else's trail.
One who conquers fear conquers his greatest enemy.
Picking up the pieces of a shattered dream is better than having no pieces to pick up at all.
Fear must die for your dreams to live.
Conquering hills today prepares you for conquering mountains tomorrow.
Battling wolves today strengthens you for battling lions tomorrow.
Your darkest fears are the veil between you and your brightest rewards.
An eagle does not crawl because it was born to fly.
Temporary failure will not prevent you from achieving lasting success.
A muddied diamond is better than an unsullied pebble.
Critics are loud, but success is louder.
A bird that fears falling off of a tree branch is ignorant of its gifts.
Showing up begins long before you stand at the start. Prove yourself an exception in a world where people talk more than act. Intent without follow-through is hollow. Disappoint yourself enough times and empty is how you feel. Make yourself proud. Fill yourself up. Show up.

Small steps add up to complete big journeys.
Body follows mind. If the mind compares itself to others this could lead to overtraining. Tune out what other runners do and how fast they run. Tune in, instead, to how your body wants to increase speed and distance.
