A demon, in a way, is a test of your faith. Because if you're doing God's work, there's no reason for any demon to do anything to you.

I became a millionaire overnight by signing a piece of paper. I made more money in that one second than my entire family did in their lifetime.
Troy Polamalu
If you don't eat right as an athlete, you'll get tired and won't be as sharp. It's simple to drink sodas and sports drinks, but water is the most essential drink to put in your body.
Troy Polamalu
I work barefooted on balance plates. I do explosive squats on balance surfaces that your body has to use muscles it's not used to. It's all kinds of exercises that your body isn't really used to, and it tricks your body into getting stronger every time.
Troy Polamalu
I really enjoy surfing a lot. It's an awesome sport. With surfing there are no mind games versus Peyton Manning, or versus anyone else. It's not me trying to throw a certain shot put further - or to put a ball in a hoop, it's just me against mother nature.
Troy Polamalu
On the field is a place where you can just let it loose and react to everything with violence.
Troy Polamalu
