Quotes by Simon:
“Fitness is one component, nutrition is another, but if you don’t add the mind element, people will sabotage, they’ll fall back into bad habits again.”
“Every thought that we have creates a belief system. And that belief system shapes our identity and who we are.”
“Everything that you have in your life right now started with a thought. And everything that you’re going to have in your life going forward will also start with a thought.”
