NOTABLE QUOTES
"We said to each other early on in our marriage, if we're going to build a life we deeply believe in, then it's going to always have to be you and me against the world, never you against me or me against you, because we're not going to make it if we do that." – Rocky
"If you only put 50% in, that means you're leaving half of yourself on the table.” –  Philip
“I believe affirmations are wildly important because they begin to reset the dialogue by which we are having with ourselves, which changes the outcome of our actions." – Rocky
"I believe affirmations represent who we are. Goals represent what we are doing because of who we are." – Rocky
“Well, I'm extremely generous. It means that I can give not just my money, but I can give my time."  – Rocky
“I write [six key factors about my character] down every day, not because I need to hope to believe they will come true, but because I believe deeply in my soul that they are true.” – Rocky
"If I am who I say that I am, then my actions must follow suit with who I am, and for me, affirmations represent who I am.” – Rocky
“If I can't look at myself in the mirror and make a claim about what I believe to be good and true about who I am, how in the world do I expect my performance to be the sole justification for my worth and value as a person? It's not going to work.”  – Rocky
“The greatest communicators in the world are those who have the capacity to carry vulnerability in their hand and show it to others and invite them in to participate with them.”  – Rocky
“Why do I want to listen to me? Why do I want to hear from me? What's the thing about me that I really believe is worth sharing?”  – Rocky
“Vulnerability requires two things: it requires an invitation and it requires proximity.” – Rocky
“Great leaders stay just far enough ahead of me that they're willing to cut the branches down so that I don't trip but close enough to me that they can reach back and grab my hand when I need it.” – Rocky
“People are going to learn so much more from you speaking on your failures than they are necessarily your victories.” – Philip
