Quotes from Julien Smith, The Flinch

You can't make yourself feel positive, but you can choose how to act, and if you choose right, it builds your confidence.

Success works as a cycle - growth and contraction, balancing and unbalancing - all while you're encountering hurdles that get higher and higher over time.

You will never be entirely comfortable. This is the truth behind the champion - he is always fighting something. To do otherwise is to settle.

The truth is that judgment and fear will never stop, but they don't actually do anything.

Everything you are used to, once done long enough, starts to seem natural, even though it might not be.

Behind every flinch is a fear or an anxiety - sometimes rational, sometimes not. Without the fear, there is no flinch. But wiping out the fear isn't what's important - facing it is.
