Don’t be overheard complaining…not even to yourself. — Marcus Aurelius Complaining a negativity acts like a virus in the mind. It starts out small, it could be meant as a joke followed by a couple half-hearted chuckles. But those few words that put yourself down grow into days, weeks, months or longer of thinking you're not strong enough, you're not fast enough, You're not brave enough, you're not good enough. The first Battle you have to win is the battle within your own mind. Only positive thoughts, only strong thoughts, only thoughts for victory.
