Imagine yourself at your funeral. Ask yourself what you want your family and friends to say about you. How will you be remembered and what impact will you have had on other people's lives? How did you make the world a better place?

Every year I want to experience something that makes me say, "this is the best day of my life."

If in a tense or nervous situation, take a moment to center and ground yourself and make a thoughtful decision. Remember that nothing is as important as it first seems.

Take time to compliment people every day. Do it sincerely and with no desire to gain anything but a smile in return.

Keep records of your fitness progress throughout your training. Chart all of the food you eat, the exercises you complete, and even the amount of sleep you get each night. Refer back to your records to see where things went right or went wrong.

Be someone's best friend and be there when he or she needs you.

There is no "I" in "Team," but there is an "E" for "Everyone." A team achieves more when everyone contributes.
