Be open to other people's opinions, ideas, and try new things. One of the best ways to learn is to feed off other people's experiences.

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.

Laugh a lot. Laughter will make even the dreariest situations a whole lot more enjoyable.

Most people use excuses to cover up mistakes, but it takes less time to do something right the first time.

Whether you know it or not, you are a role model for somebody. Watch what you say and know that you're responsible for your actions.

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

Most people are afraid to follow their dreams. The thought of failure is too much for them to handle so they never even try to achieve them.
