Powerful Quotes by Maddie 

\n

\u25cf Three months may not seem like much, but things happening internally in that time is exponential. 

\n

\u25cf Your physical self is not everything; but it is one component of all of you, and when you physically don\u2019t feel good, it\u2019s very hard to put your best self out. 

\n

\u25cf Your health is the biggest investment you can make. 

\n

\u25cf It\u2019s such a powerful thing when you\u2019re around someone who just wants you to win. 

\n

\u25cf I\u2019ve spent a lot of time being deterred by negative opinions, and when I focused on those, I stayed where I was. When I stopped focusing on those, I grew.
