From David Goggins:

“Only you can master your mind, which is what it takes to live a bold life filled with accomplishments most people consider beyond their capability.”

“The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself.”

“You want to be uncommon amongst uncommon people. Period.”

“If you’re willing to suffer, and I mean suffer, your brain and body once connected together, can do anything.”

He is proven what it takes to be great, it doesn’t matter where you come from but the determination and the important conversations you have with yourself matters. One does not have to leave the world with the same circumstances they were born in.

From Matthew McConaughey:

“Focus on what is in front of you. Don’t anticipate what’s coming. Be present”

“The answers are always right there, but we need to be in the correct mindset and make a plan. Don’t let it flutter away. Then have the courage to practice it and live it”

“Be responsible for your actions.”

“If you’re high enough, the sun is always shining.”

His book –“Greenlights” has it covered very well. His story portrays on how to take the journey life has to offer and how to make the best of it.

From Tony Stark:

“Part of the journey is the end”

“We create our own demons”

“You can work hard, but if you don’t work smart you will work for the rest of your life.”

“Sometimes You Gotta Run Before You Can Walk.”

“No Amount Of Money Ever Bought A Second Of Time.”

“You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys. One thing you can’t take away, I am Iron Man.”

The results on the choices we male are reflections on our life and challenges. Sometimes you have to sacrifice to save the world and Ironman did that, we are born with a purpose, a force that drives us and sets us for the inevitable truth that we will be gone someday. The ending of Avengers endgame still gets me and Ironman is someone I look up to when I see things getting tough. I always ask myself this question, “What would they(the three people quoted above) do”.
