Ryan Babel Quotes

I want to reach my full potential.

My comfort zone is like a little bubble around me, and I've pushed it in different directions and made it bigger and bigger until these objectives that seemed totally crazy eventually fall within the realm of the possible.

Well, any effort to maximize your potential and ability is a good thing.

Getting the most out of life is giving life your most.

At the end of the day, life's about realising one's human potential. I don't know if I've realised mine, but I've certainly gone a long way towards realising some goals and some dreams.

A sobering thought: what if, at this very moment, I am living up to my full potential?

Whatever God gave you, you have to work that to your best ability - especially out here in Hollywood, the land of beautiful people.

There's always an opportunity to be your best until I hang up my shoes.

Hard things make me happy. You get upset, but you mature and improve: the quicker you reach your best level, the longer you stay there. They say players peak at 28; I wanted to be there at 22, 23.

I was on some bad teams, and I played bad as a young player, certainly, at times. And that all mounts. Yeah, that all mounts. The perception. Everything that goes into that. And so, yeah, I think to kind of get over the hump of that, to change perception, it can be difficult. It's a tall task. And it takes a long time.

Any time you feel like you're not playing up to your potential, I think that drives you.

You are only given so much talent and it is up to you what you do with it.

I've found that nurturing untapped potential is far more exhilarating than finding someone who has already peaked.

We repose too much upon the actual, when we should be seeking to develop the possibilities of our being. It is true of nearly all of us, that what we have done is little compared with what we might have accomplished, or may hereafter effect.

Sometimes we have the dream but we are not ourselves ready for the dream. We have to grow to meet it.

The project you are most resisting carries your greatest growth.

The problem of life is not to make life easier, but to make men stronger.

If you don't act on life, life has a habit of acting on you. You can't have all that you want if you remain the person you are. To get more from life, you need to be more in life.

We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are.

Assume that whatever situation you are facing at the moment is exactly the right situation you need to ultimately be successful. This situation has been sent to help you become better, to help you expand and grow.

The gain isn't counted to the recluse and inactive that, having nothing to measure themselves by and never being tested by failure, they simmer and soak perpetually in conscious complacency.

Like running trying to live a good life has to hurt a little bit, or we're not running hard enough, not really trying.

Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

You may not be able to do all you find out, but make sure you find out all you can do.

Life is what you put into it and how much you take out of it. You put in more than is expected, and you take out less than you want.
