Renee James Quotes

I struggle with my training sometimes. The thing I look at is if you keep getting up and moving forward, you'll be successful. That's the way I've lived my life. I'm not going to stop doing something because somebody says it's time. I'm going to stop it when my body says it's over or the fans say, 'we're done watching you.'

I am someone who always gets up again, even if there are setbacks. I have a survivor instinct. I'm not sure where it comes from, but probably from all the little things that make you into who you are.

When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.

My message has always been about resilience.

I say to those people who are desperately trying to get healthy, in those moments where you feel like you can't go any further, you can.

To be champion requires more than simply being a strong player; one has to be a strong human being as well.

No man who has brought himself back from what might have been an entire life of invalidism to strength, and activity, physical and mental and spiritual can ever be accused of preaching or exemplifying a mollycoddle philosophy.

My strength of character is a privilege. I can do anything to survive. I don't break easily.

One should be brave. It's life, there will be ups and downs. It's only when you are down, that you get the strength to get back up.

It takes an inner strength to succeed.

I'm a pretty strong person.

Inner strength is very important.

I don't like whining about the challenges I face while I work. I know they are for the better so I can rise stronger and better.

I think the inner strength that I have helps me stay calm.

When it's going tough in a session I have a little think about why I'm doing it, what I'm getting up for and why I'm putting myself through it.

I have been knocked down so many times, as a player and as a person, and I have had the strength, I suppose that has come from my parents, to be able to pick myself each and every single time and go out there in the face of adversity and try my best and perform. I didn't read it up in a book. It's deep down and it's part of my family trait.

I live my life - I walk the right path - but I can't be like, 'Oh, I'm scared of this or that.'

The way to succeed is never quit. Thats it. But really be humble about it.

Discipline is something we despise for the moment.... We all look for a place to run, an excuse with which to stall. No one enjoys it. Yet those of us who have endured it know that the fruit it produces and the pain from which it ultimately spares us makes it worth the agony.

Victory is not final. Defeat is not failure. It's all about courage.
