Hows this as a thesis statement?

Life is about conditioning your mind, body and soul. Once you stop conditioning yourself, the negative effects of being untrained begin to slowly devour you.

I got the idea from Les brown, not sure if it belongs to him, but here's the original:

"Life is a fight for territory, once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over"

Do I need to give someone credit for it?
Should I change words around or add words?
Does it make sense?
