When I tell people that I'm vegan, the first question asked is, 'How do you get enough protein?' This immediately tells me that they are uneducated and know little or nothing about nutrition.

Go out of your way to make an outstanding first impression.

We are all capable of living each day with a fiery passion and sense of purpose that radiates in our smile and voice.

Celebrate each accomplishment on your way to reaching your goal. Each challenge conquered whether large or small is a positive step to greatness.

At least once a month, do something for someone who will never know who did them the friendly favor.

Look in the mirror and stare at your eyes and say, "I can and will be successful."

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