One of the biggest problems you can have is that you don’t realize that you have a problem…until it’s too late. Greatness requires you to be just as open and mindful to hearing the criticism as you are the accolades. #Lennoxism

Every opponent is a puzzle to solve. Physically (size, power, and speed) mentally (experience and ring IQ) & skill-sets (types of punches, movement, defense) Each of these present a unique challenge. The best fighters give their opponents a LOT to think about. 👊🏾💥 #Lennoxism

You need to learn to fight with a purpose from the very beginning, because once you have enough of it, even money won’t be enough to keep you driven. #Lennoxism

When you become entrenched in being right, it becomes far more difficult to recognize truth when it’s not aligned with your “rightness”. - #Lennoxism

Never be offended by good and sound advice, even if you don’t like the messenger. No matter what I say, or how well intentioned it is, someone out there will be offended or feel like they’re being singled out. They aren’t. Get out of your feelings and get to work. #Lennoxism

Cutting corners, shortcuts, and taking “the easy road” is disrespectful to all of those that believe in you. When you cheat yourself, you cheat them also. #Lennoxism

If you stay married to excuses, be prepared to divorce yourself from success. #Lennoxism

Boxing is like biology n that vaccines r used 2show ur body how 2fight a weaker version of a virus so that it knows what 2do when it sees that virus again. Fighters on their way up need 2see things early on so that they r better equipped 2handle them at a higher level. #Lennoxism

It’s always important to surround yourself with different views, opinions or ways to look at a problem/issue. “Yes men” have led to the demise of many good careers. #Lennoxism

Don’t be an obedient target to the things that take you off your individual path to greatness. #Lennoxism

You can be motivated by material things, but once u have them, where does your motivation come from then? The most enduring motivation comes from love. The love of the game, the love of family, the love of self. Use love to fuel and maintain your success. #Lennoxism

Character is the foundation that we all stand upon. Some have invested in building a strong one, while others have ignored it completely. In whatever form the storm comes, without a solid foundation, u will be ruined. Build a strong character & let it serve you well. #Lennoxism

Only with the journey, does the understanding, experience, knowledge, patience & peace come. There will be many with much shorter journeys than yours that cannot relate to your level of thinking. Give them time. The journey will teach them too. #Lennoxism

Greatness requires a degree of difficulty, sacrifice & uncomfortableness that peels many contenders off. If your comfortable, you’re doing something wrong! #Lennoxism

Those who take the shortcut to success miss out on the struggle and experience that the long road provides. The long road offers a foundation that will serve you well when you reach the top! #Lennoxism

Making history is filled with many moments that contribute to it, but don’t necessarily FEEL historic. They are ALL part of the process. Cherish them and never take them for granted. #Lennoxism

Hatred is a bully that often seeks a safe haven among the like minded, or in the darkness. Out of its element, or in the light, it is not so bold, or so scary, because even hatred knows that love is much bigger. #Lennoxism

Most cheaters find it very hard to believe that others don’t cheat also. This is how you can recognize them. #Lennoxism

There are no two sides to it. There is the truth... and there is how others may see it from their view, but in the end, there is still only one truth. Protect the truth. There will always be those working hard to alter or change it! #Lennoxism
