evidence: Muhammad Ali’s words have long been by affirmations and motivations in the hardest of times. His hard work, dedication, boldness, stubbornness, cockiness, overflowing heart, and resilience make him one of my idols. He achieved greatness for himself as a platform for philanthropy. That is my dream. Ali once said, "It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen." Today, in honor of his life and legacy, I’ll share with you his words that have become my affirmations.
