Treat yourself like an overweight, out of shape person and that's what you will be. Why not train and treat yourself like an athlete?

Invest your time with people who will push you to be your best. Winners love to see other people win.

Positive energy is your priceless life force. Protect it. Don't allow people to draw from your reserves; select friends who recharge your energies . . . I'm not asking you to cut people out of your life, but I am asking you to invest your time with people who will push you to be your best. Winners love to see other people win.

Ask yourself every couple of minutes, 'Can I go harder? Can I do more?' You've got so much power. Show me.

Successful people do what others know they should do but will not. To become a success, or just be more successful, you will do what average, less-motivated people will not.

Only exercise on the days you want to improve your mood.

Treat yourself like a fat person with aches and pains and a suitcase full of excuses, and good luck-you'll stay exactly where you are. Train like an athlete and, though you may not look like one now, you will become one.
