Kapoor wrote, "Our mind is the one part of the body we have to work the hardest on, and yet the results of this hard work may not always be manifest to others.

Every day, the first thing I flex is the power of my mind to get up get rolling , move beyond what obstacles it has placed in my way, remove what clouds of doubt have come over me . If you think you can, you will. If you think you can't, you won't. Either way, you will prove yourself right . So embrace the mind and start your day by first flexing your will power and your resolve."
