Earlier this year she was also inducted as the first female fighter into the UFC hall of fame, at only 31 years old. Her career is a testament to the amount of work she’s put in over the years despite the odds.

Use these Ronda Rousey quotes to keep pushing through fear and love the process of becoming successful.

“Most people focus on the wrong thing: They focus on the result, not the process. The process is the sacrifice; it’s all the hard parts – the sweat, the pain, the tears, the losses. You make the sacrifices anyway. You learn to enjoy them, or at least embrace them. In the end, it is the sacrifices that must fulfill you.” – Ronda Rousey

Sometimes it’s hard to focus on the process when you crave the result so badly. But as motivational teacher Eric Thomas said, “Trust the process, don’t rush the process.”

Enjoy your failures, setbacks, and learning moments on the way to achieving your biggest goals. You can do anything once you realize that it’s just a process. Fail faster so you can learn faster and start achieving your biggest goals.

“There have always been people who have written me off. They’re not going away. I use that to motivate me. I’m driven to show them just how wrong they are.” – Ronda Rousey

Haters should fuel your fire, drive, and ambition. Don’t let the naysayers tell you what’s possible. They are only expressing their own failures, insecurities, and lack of belief outward.

When you feel like quitting, remember that if you do you will be exactly that person they said you would be. Don’t quit, find a new way to reach your biggest goals and prove them wrong.

“I want to be a perfect fighter, and that’s one of those unattainable goals because you will never be perfect. But I can always be closer to perfect.” – Ronda Rousey Quotes

Perfect doesn’t exist in sports, business or life. But striving to be perfect means you are constantly trying to improve and get better. This is a huge key to continuing to be happy and make progress in life.

Tony Robbins talks about this in depth with the phrase “CANI” — Constant and Never Ending Improvement. While perfect is unattainable in almost everything in life, you can always be improving as a parent, friend, partner, and person.

“No drug or amount of money or favoritism can ever give you belief in yourself.” – Ronda Rousey

Self-belief is something you have to build up and acquire on your own. Trusting yourself and your intuition to make your dreams happen will create more belief than anything else in the world.

“To be the best, you have to constantly be challenging yourself, raising the bar, pushing the limits of what you can do. Don’t stand still, leap forward.” – Ronda Rousey Quotes 

Always keep pushing, keep growing, and keep learning. The moments you feel the best are when you are learning and becoming the ultimate version of yourself. The moments you feel the worst is when you’re stuck and not making progress.

Remember, progress equals happines in all areas of life!

“There is nothing in my life that I would go back and change, even the darkest moments. All the successes and greatest joys in my life are a result of the absolute worst things. Every missed opportunity is a blessing in disguise.” – Ronda Rousey

Don’t run from your past, embrace it. Even the darkest moments have unbelievable learning moments if you are self-aware enough to find them. While it might not be immediately after a failure or setback, you can always find good in any situation.

Use these Ronda Rousey quotes to work hard, persevere, and become the version of yourself you were meant to become.

But with great power comes great responsibility, distractions are more numerous than ever, we’ve gone from the radio to TV to smart phone. There’s a reason they used to call the TV the ‘idiot box’.

You must be smarter than your smart phone or you will get less done than ever before.

As Jim Kwik said,

“A lot off people give away their sovereignty and their power first thing in the morning”

5 Reasons to Work Out Before Checking Your Emails and Social Media

1 – It Will Destroy Your Focus – Work Out Before Checking Your Emails And Social Media

There are two types of people in the world, the ones that will achieve success and ones that won’t. The difference? Focus. If you want to achieve your goals as bad as you want to breathe you will let nothing stop you or distract you.

So when you wake up in the morning and begin to get ready for your workout toss your smart phone aside, you have much bigger things in mind than anything you’ll scroll past.

If you want to take your workout to another level, pre-workout supplements can give a huge boost, while intensifying your focus. Leave no stone unturned on your journey to the top of the mountain.

2 – It Ruins Your Posture & Can Cause Injury – Work Out Before Checking Your Emails And Social Media

Functional strength expert Angelo Grinceri points out the habit of hunching forward while texting on your phone alters the natural balance of your spine by flattening the lumbar curve and allowing your head to hang forward. “poor lifestyle habits lead to shoulder and neck pain.” Both of which can cause unnecessary strain on your neck after waking, which could contribute to injury at the gym.

If you’re serious about working out get up, stretch and do a proper warm up before the gym, so that when you enter you are ready to give your all.

3 – It Affects Your Mentality – Work Out Before Checking Your Emails And Social Media

Steve Furtick said it best “One reason we struggle with insecurity: we’re comparing our behind the scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel.” If the first thing you do each morning is jump on social media and compare your life to others, it is going to leave you feeling lousy, you need to have laser like vision on your own goals. Let nothing affect your mentality, you need to enter the arena with unwavering ferocity. So do what’s important first and never give away your power.

4 – Your Intensity Suffers – Work Out Before Checking Your Emails And Social Media

If you do find yourself at the gym with your phone, perhaps like me you use it to listen to music. Take note of these do’s and don’ts.

Don’t Text

Another noteworthy study, published in Computers in Human Behavior last year, found that people who texted during a 20-minute workout spent almost 10 of those minutes in a low-intensity zone, and only seven minutes in high intensity. Those who worked out without a phone spent only 3 minutes in low intensity, and almost 13 minutes in high intensity.

It’s obvious, and science confirms that if your looking at your phone in the gym, it’s guaranteed to lower the intensity of your workout. Taking your phone to the gym could be setting your progress back months. Is it really worth it?

Do Listen To Music

The good news is that listening to music on a cell phone had no notable impact on balance, so exercisers should feel free to use their tunes. In fact, earlier research has shown that listening to music during exercise can boost workout intensity and enjoyability.

Put your phone on airplane mode.

Get inside the mind of a champion, inside the minds of the greatest athletes of all time. Learn what makes the best athletes tick, and how you can apply that in your own sport, and in your own life.
Hard work, sacrifice, dedication, consistency and the ability to never accept defeat are some common themes among these great champions. Enjoy these Motivational Quotes For Athletes By The Greatest Champions In History.

1. “There is no way around hard work. Embrace it. You have to put in the hours because there’s always something which you can improve.” – Roger Federer

Dreams are free. Goals have a cost. While you can daydream for free, goals don’t come without a price. Time, Effort, Sacrifice, and Sweat. How will you pay for your goals? – Usain Bolt

2. Dreams are free. Goals have a cost. While you can daydream for free, goals don’t come without a price. Time, Effort, Sacrifice, and Sweat. How will you pay for your goals? – Usain Bolt

Are you prepared to put in the work required to achieve your goals? Are you prepared to sacrifice for your dream? Most people in life dream of becoming successful, dream of becoming the next great champion, but very few are willing to put in the time, effort and sacrifice that the greatest athletes are willing to. Are you willing?

3. If you can see it here and you have the courage enough to speak it, it will happen. People believe in certain things but they keep to themselves, they don’t put it out there. If you truly believe in it, if you become vocal with it, you’re creating that law of attraction and it will become reality. – Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor is a big believer in the Law Of Attraction. Regardless of whether you believe in it or not, one thing is for sure: You will NEVER achieve anything in life if you don’t BELIEVE you can. If you don’t believe you can, you won’t even try and therefor will never succeed. All the greatest champions have this in common: They believe in themselves.

4. “The best decisions aren’t made with your mind, but with your instinct.” – Leo Messi

Whenever you need to make a decision in life, always go with your gut. You are the ONLY person that knows what is best for you, on and off the field of play. Follow your intuition and take full responsibility for your life.

5. “I’ve never tried to hide the fact that it is my intention to become the best.” – Cristiano Ronaldo

Many of the greatest athletes in history aren’t lacking in the confidence area, and Cristiano Ronaldo is sure one of them. Some might say Ronaldo is arrogant, but that level of certainty is what made him who he is, and the great player he is today. Confidence, certainty and an unshakable belief in yourself are all needed if you want to reach the highest level.

6. “I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall” – Serena Williams

Many people seem to think successful people don’t suffer set backs, when in reality, they suffer more and larger defeats than the majority. If you are pushing the limits of what is possible in your sport, or your life, you will fail. You will fall. You will be defeated. The true test of a champion is their attitude after they lose, their character in defeat. Do you have the strength to get back up when life has beaten you to the canvas?

7. “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger

There’s a lot said about struggle these days. Every great teacher will tell you your struggle develops your greatest strengths. Our greatest pains can be our greatest blessings, and they will always reveal our true character. Be one of the few that RISES in the face of challenges.

8. “If you want to be the best, you have to do things that other people aren’t willing to do.” – Michael Phelps

9. I don’t fold under pressure, great athletes perform better under pressure, so put pressure on me. – Floyd Mayweather

Pressure creates diamonds and pressure creates champions. It is pressure that will make or break you. Will you stand up in the face of a challenge, or buckle like most do?

10. “You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.” – Michael Jordan

Napoleon Hill once said “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve” – If you believe in yourself enough to EXPECT great results of yourself, you are already miles in front of all of those who don’t.

11. “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion’.” Muhammad Ali

Sacrifice now, so you can enjoy later. That is what we teach. Put in the work NOW, go through the PAIN now, so you can enjoy your success for many tomorrows.

12. “My brain . . . It cannot process failure. It will not process failure. Because if I sit there and have to face myself and tell myself, ‘You’re a failure’ . . . I think that’s almost worse than death.” – Kobe Bryant

Failure is nothing but a lesson to the master. There really is no such thing as failure if you keep going, come back stronger and WIN, in the end.

13. “I prepare so no one can take what is mine, no one can replace my mind, my heart.” – Ray Lewis

Preparation. That is where the game is one or lost. That is where success is gained or never seen. As Will Smith once said – “Stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready” – Prepare so NO ONE can take what is yours. Prepare so success can never be taken from you.

14. “Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There’s that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?” – Lebron James

One thing is for sure: You will never reach any great level of success without commitment. Being committed means you put your goal, your dream, before ANYTHING. It means you keep pushing when you don’t feel like it, when you’re tired, when it’s not going well.

15. It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up. – Vince Lombardi

Legendary American Football coach Vince Lombardi said it best. We all get knocked down, in sport and in life. Those that get on and make a name for themselves are those who get up, learn the lesson, fight back and come out stronger than ever before.

16. Success at anything will always come down to this: focus and effort. And we control both. – The Rock

Get clear on what you want in your life. Be very specific. Once you know what you want FOCUS all your attention and effort into bringing it into your reality. Don’t get sidetracked by meaningless things. Know what you want. Learn how you can get it. Get your blinkers on and work your ass off until you do get it!
Ok, so the rock was never one of the greatest athletes in history, but he is a beast, a machine, and in our eyes he is still one of the greats!

17. Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face – Mike Tyson

For most people, everything is just fine, 
until LIFE punches you in the mouth! 

Everyone shows great character, 
until something goes wrong!

Are you going to show your character when life punches you in the mouth? Will you get back up, will you FIGHT BACK?
Will you be strong, or will you be out for the count? Give up like the majority, or SHOW CHARACTER like the minority?

On August 26, history will be made with the McGregor Vs Mayweather fight. Two of the greatest fighters of our time will be facing each other in the boxing ring. And millions of people around the world are in absolute awe because of the sheer audacity shown by McGregor to challenge the greatest boxer of our generation and perhaps of all time.

The McGregor vs Mayweather press conferences in July were full of show-off and trash talk. Each fighter was trying to one-up the other with cocky remarks. While McGregor used his smooth verbal onslaught to dominate Mayweather, Mayweather used the power of money and numbers to show his superior status in the world of fighting. He literally showered money all over McGregor to show that he is in his own league. 

McGregor has lost three fights in his career compared to an astounding zero number of losses for Mayweather. But this didn’t shake McGregor’s confidence one bit on stage.

Conor has certainly gained a lead in the talking game not only in this fight but all throughout his career. But as they say, talk is cheap. Inside the ring, anything can happen. Come August 26, the McGregor Vs Mayweather fight will reveal who was the better fighter all along. 

Conor McGregor: Why Is He So Good?

Conor relies on the power of belief and the law of attraction to master the art of fighting. In an interview, a journalist asked McGregor for his advice on success. McGregor told him, “act and you will become”. This is the law of attraction at its finest. We can will things into existence if our thoughts and actions are aligned with our intentions.

But life wasn’t always so bright for McGregor. He comes from a humble background. His dad was a taxi driver in Dublin and he relied on welfare money to survive in tough times. But fast forward to today, he is living the luxurious life, full of Rolls Royces, mink clothing, and expensive watches, and doesn’t hesitate one bit to show off.

He’s albeit in too much love with the expensive lifestyle. In one press conference, he brought attention to his clothing saying that, “These custom made suits aren’t cheap. This solid gold pocket watch – three people died making this watch.” Oh yes, he likes to show off.

Here are some Conor McGregor quotes that show the power of the great fighter:

I am cocky in prediction, I am confident in preparation, but I’m always humble in victory or defeat.

If you can see it here and you have the courage enough to speak it, it will happen. People believe in certain things but they keep to themselves, they don’t put it out there. If you truly believe in it, if you become vocal with it, you’re creating that law of attraction and it will become reality.

Through years in the gym, through wins, through losses, through life – I just realized that if you say it to yourself and look yourself in the eye and truly, truly believe that not a man alive can beat you, then that’s the way it is.

When I was a little kid, I’d visualize stadiums and even when I was playing football I’d kick the ball against the wall and pretend I scored a goal. I’d be raising my hand and visualize an arena full of fans…I always had these visions of something, I didn’t know what it was.

There is no opponent. There’s no Jose Aldo, there’s no noone. You’re against yourself.

People say a loss can make or break a fighter, but a win can also make or break a fighter because they get comfortable with a win and slack off.

They gonna need a fucking army to come take them belts off me.

We’re not here to take part. We’re here to take over.

 

Floyd Mayweather: The Undefeated Champion

Floyd Mayweather may not be good at the trash-talking game, but he is certainly the legend when it comes to fighting. His flawless record of 49-0 shines way brighter than McGregor’s 21-3. Mayweather has been undefeated so far, even when pit against the greatest boxers of all time. And truth be told, no fighter can get lucky 49 times in a row. It takes real talent and years of grinding at your craft to reach the level of mastery Floyd has attained.

So does Conor really stand a chance in the McGregor Vs Mayweather fight? Chances are really slim.

We all have seen great athletes like LeBron James, Tom Brady, and even Muhammad Ali – who have ruled in their respective sports. But each one of them had their share of losses. But not Mayweather – this man is as close to perfection as one can ever imagine. 

Mayweather has a strong defense inside the ring. And by strong, we mean he’s untouchable. There are talented boxers like Manny Pacquiao, but then there is Floyd Mayweather – he is refined. In the fighting world, talent can be seen often, but the refined movements, the flawlessness, and the absolute finesse- it is only seen in Mayweather.

As Stephen King said,

“Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.”

At the end of the day, people may doubt Floyd Mayweather because of his age (he’s 40, if you’re wondering), but there’s one thing they cannot deny – Floyd has made himself untouchable inside the ring with consistent hard work. In fact, his defense is so strong that he never took much beating in his career and was nicknamed “Pretty Boy Floyd” because other boxers’ faces were damaged. But Floyd, being the cocky guy he is and his love for money and the flashy lifestyle, changed his name to “Floyd Money Mayweather”.

Here are some Floyd Mayweather quotes that give a look inside the mastermind that defeated everyone that crossed his path.

You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren’t true, but you never hear about the positive.

Once I am in the square circle, I am in my home.

I’ve set the model of showing fighters how they should conduct their business.

I haven’t took no punishment. There’s nothing cool about taking punishment.

My kids are the future of the Mayweather family and of the Mayweather brand. I feel our family is stronger if we stay together.

There’s no blueprint on how to beat me.

Once I beat a guy, mentally and physically, he’s never the same.

Cotto is a talented fighter but I’m God gifted.

No athlete works harder than Floyd Mayweather.

Of course, we all know what UFC stands for – Undefeated Floyd’s Champion.

The ultimate goal is to always break records.

I want to be able to separate the average from the good and from the great. I want to separate the ordinary from the extraordinary.

I don’t fold under pressure, great athletes perform better under pressure, so put pressure on me.

Conor’s confidence stems from his unshakeable belief while Mayweather’s impenetrable defense and a flawless record would make any fighter doubt himself. Some say that Mayweather is going to toy with McGregor, others say that McGregor is going to surprise everyone like he has done earlier with Jose Aldo.

One thing is certain, the McGregor Vs Mayweather fight on August 26 will be a turning point in the legacy of both fighters. If Mayweather wins, Conor’s “unshakable” belief in himself will no longer remain unshakeable. If McGregor wins, the entire sport of boxing will take a massive hit in its face.
