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.

People ask me why I work so hard and why I have this compassion to reach the top and be great. I respond by telling them, "I work insanely hard because people said I couldn't do it." When someone tells me I can't do something, or that I'll never achieve my goals and visions, I am determined to prove them wrong.

When you have a childhood dream that still burns and tugs at your heart when you're an adult, you owe it to yourself to pursue and achieve this dream.

Nobody knows you better than you do.

When going for a run, I pick fresh air, openness, and scenery of the outdoors over a treadmill every time.

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

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