Eddie Alvarez on greatness and the journey, not wins and losses

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." - Anatole France

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." ―Zig Ziglar

I believe greatness is an evolutionary process that changes and evolves era to era. —Michael Jordan

 

Practice greatness in thought, word, and deed under negative states of mind; eventually you will be able to instantly achieve greatness whenever they arise.

When you step into the cage to fight you are forced to focus on the present moment. And when you're in the present moment, greatness happens.

"Everyone can be awesome if they want it bad enough. And I don't believe that anyone wants to be average. I think everybody desires greatness, at least at some point in their life." —Jason Ellis
