I don't believe in taking the easy route. My life has been about facing hardships and using them as fuel to push myself further, which is why I don't feel sorry for anyone who doesn't want to put in the effort to improve.

The unseen work is what motivates me; I don't need external validation because I know what I've accomplished on my own.

I had to start sharing my story because people see where I'm at today and think I'm this hard, rock-hard human being, but they need to know where I came from.

People often misunderstand my story, thinking I'm happy because of my achievements, but I'm still seeking fulfillment.

I want to own a hundred percent of the suffering I went through in my life, and I don't want anyone telling me I can't share my story.

Social media can amplify self-doubt, but I try to focus on my own journey and not compare myself to others.

I've learned that the journey of pursuing my goals is often more fulfilling than the achievement itself.

I believe that the greatest part of my job is being part of transformation in others' lives. Witnessing someone overcome significant challenges, like chronic pain, is worth any personal sacrifices I make in my mission.

The price of being someone admired often includes significant personal sacrifices and challenges that are not visible to the public.
