Nobody is perfect, so get over the fear of being or doing everything perfectly. Besides perfect is boring.

Part of abandoning the all-or-nothing mentality is allowing yourself room for setbacks. We are bound to have lapses on the road to health and wellness, but it is critical that we learn how to handle small failures positively so that we can minimize their long-term destructive effects. One setback is one setback—it is not the end of the world, nor is it the end of your journey toward a better you.

Fitness to me isn't about a crunch or a push up, it's about taking your power back.

We all have to work for happiness. And you cannot listen to other people. That is the worst mistake you can make.

The past does not define, you the present does.

When friends tell you how awesome you look, drop the "I still have more to go" crap. You worked hard and you deserve the compliment!

One of my acting teachers once said that rejection is God's protection. There's something in it.
