Do you realize that there is nothing in our genes that tells us when to die? There are genetic codes that tell us how to grow, how to breathe, and how to sleep, but NOTHING that tells us to die. So why do we? Because we literally rust and decay our bodies from the inside out with poor food and lifestyle choices.

You can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won't sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire.

Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity.

Ask yourself this: How much deprivation, how much self-effacement must you suffer through before you act on your desire for meaning and fulfillment? Before it’s your turn to thrive in your life, instead of barely surviving it? Some people live their dreams. Why not you?

There are things you think you cannot do. You have no idea how strong you are until you try.

Fat is merely stored energy. It is a physical state, nothing more and nothing less. It implies zero about your value as a person in this world.

The way to get motivated and stay motivated is to identify, define, and emotionally connect to your dreams.
