In our personal and professional lives, we are constantly hit with one adversity after the other, most of which we have no control over. But the four things we have total control over is how we react, how we adapt, how we breathe, and how we take action.
I used to run a night club in Fort Myers, Florida called Norma Jean's Dance Club. That was the hottest spot from Sarasota to Cuba.
If you say 'I can't,' you'd better add on 'yet.' Once you start to change that inner dialogue, things that would seem completely impossible become possible.
In living life at 90 percent, the formula is life is 10 percent of what happens to you and 90 percent of how you react to it.
Nobody can pull you down more than you.
I'm all about owning your life.
If you teach someone your craft, while you're teaching them, you're going to learn because you're going to get better at teaching, which is going to make you better at whatever you're doing.
I'm always like Mickey Mouse with tattoos.
I live by the business model that there is a better than, a less than, or a different than. Those are the three categories. I chose to be different than. The one that's different than will stand out with the proper work ethic.
P90X and Insanity are awesome workouts for young guys who aren't beat up. DDPYoga is for guys who are beat up. It's the fountain of youth for beat-up guys.
If you say you can or if you say you can't... you're right.
No matter how bad or negative it gets, I somehow try to find the silver lining.
Bottom line is, work ethic equals dreams, and I am walking proof that that's a fact.
DDP Yoga was never developed for yoga users: it was developed for people who wouldn't be caught dead doing yoga - the people who really need it.
I try to keep my mind full of really positive stuff.
When I came into WWE after Monday Night Wars, it wasn't my greatest time in the business... but they kept bringing me back.
I stretched my whole career - it didn't save me when I blew my back, and of course, that's where the whole things of DDP Yoga comes from.
I told people I was going to be a wrestler, and they fell down laughing.
I don't think I'll ever be out of wrestling, because I was that kid at 8 years old that dreamed of being a world champion.
As great as Hulk Hogan was, he still wasn't that great a worker.
