Before starting a fitness program or diet, know why you're doing it. Have specific goals with deadlines and visualize the end result each night before going to bed.

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.

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.

Pay close attention to detail in whatever it is you are doing. Be specific and expect quality from your performance.

The people who wake up and jump out of bed with energy and enthusiasm are the people who will be smiling all day, go out of their way to help you, and call you by name.

On your birthday thank your parents and celebrate with them. They are the reason you are here and it is their day too.

The people who put limits on your abilities, goals, or dreams, may not be the people you want to associate yourself with.
