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

Always work harder than other people are willing to work. Sweat more, endure more pain, and then reap the rewards of success and achievement.

They may never say it, but your parents really are proud of you when you follow your heart and chase your dreams.

When I workout early in the morning, the rest of the day feels so much better.

Don't be intimidated by people who try to belittle your ambitions. Most of the time they are just jealous of your success or determination to reach the highest peaks of the mountains, and reign over them.

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