Arnold Schwarzenegger Quotes

To be great and excel in anything you do, its important to first and foremost get your mind right. Mental Attitude is one of the most important ingredients in any 'success' recipe.

"Failure or success in business is primarily not determined by mental capacity but by MENTAL ATTITUDES" ~ Walter Dill Scott

And that applies to anything not only to business.

But don't take my word for it, check out Arnold Schwarzenegger's mental attitude. I have listed some of his quotes throughout his life. If you I can resolve to practice the same mental attitude or better nothing will be impossible for you to achieve:

"Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach."

"Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed."

"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."

"I didn't leave bodybuilding until I felt that I had gone as far as I could go. It will be the same with my film career. When I feel the time is right, I will then consider public service. I feel that the highest honor comes from serving people and your country."

"I have inhaled, exhaled everything."

"I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street."

"I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will."

"I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body."

"I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future."

"I'll be back."

"It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat."

"Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn't matter."

"My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave."

"Start wide, expand further, and never look back."

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

"The best activities for your health are pumping and humping."

"The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens."

"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."

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

"The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that."

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

"What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know."

"You can scream at me, call me for a shoot at midnight, keep me waiting for hours - as long as what ends up on the screen is perfect."

"You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today."

"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"

“Not that the girls were my main reason for training. Far from it. But I figured as long as I was getting this attention I might as well use it."

“I will come to America, which is the country for me. Once here, I will become the greatest bodybuilder in history.”

“While I am doing this I will learn perfect English and educate myself – but only with those things I need to know. I will get a college degree so I can get a business degree.”

“Simultaneously I will make whatever money possible from bodybuilding and invest it in real estate where I will make the big money.”

“I will go into the movies as an actor, producer and eventually director. By the time I am 30 I will have starred in my first movie and I will be a millionaire.”

“I will collect houses, art and automobiles. I will see the world. Along the way, I will learn to impress people and I will hone my mind to outwit all of them.”

“I will marry a glamorous and intelligent wife. By 32, I will have been invited to the white house…”

“I had a master plan from the moment I arrived in America. That’s still in me. Every year I set a goal. Every year I make a plan. I do it. It will be done.”

Adopt this Mental Attitude and I promise you the SKY WILL BE THE LIMIT! In fact, we'll have to come up with a new phrase like "HEAVEN IS THE LIMIT". Learn to practice stretching your mind and breaking all records, all limits, all impossibilities.
