Arnold Schwarzenegger - The Legend bodybuilder | Words Are God

1. You must see it. You must believe it. And then you must never stop working to make it happen.

2. Pain makes me grow. Growing is what I want. Therefore, for me pain is pleasure.

3. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

4. Just remember, you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

5. If I train the hardest, run the longest, go beyond what anyone else has the mental determination to do, I will be the winner.

6. The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is... The Pump.

7. Create a vision of who you want to be, and then live into that picture as if it were already true.

8. Don't be afraid to fail. Anything that I've ever attempted, I was always willing to fail. You can't always win, but don't be afraid of making decisions.

9. The secret is contained in a three-part formula I learned in the gym: self confidence, a positive mental attitude, and honest hard work.

10. The mind always fails first, not the body. The secret is to make your mind work for you, not against you.

11. The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact, that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

12. Always have one possibility in mind and that is to go to the top, to be the best. Everything else should just be a means to that end.

13. Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith there is no anxiety and no doubt - just absolute confidence in yourself.

14. It is going to be tough if you look for the easy way out, because very rarely is there an easy way out. There is nothing that replaces hard work.

15. The resistance that you fight physically in the gym, and the resistance that you fight in life, can only build a strong character.

16. Positive thinking can be contagious. Being surrounded by winners helps you develop into a winner.

17. If you want to turn a vision into reality, you have to give 100% and never stop believing in your dream.

18. When you’re out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard. Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning. Just remember that.

19. For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

20. Concentrate on your goals. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind. If you allow them to, other things could take your concentration away from your ultimate aim.

21. Self-confidence is something caught and not taught. And, risk-running and chance-taking are the only ways to catch it.

22. Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
