As a vegan body-builder I want to show others that it is possible to gain significant muscle and strength on a vegan diet and I want to inspire others to follow this lifestyle. I love being vegan and knowing that I am having a positive impact on our society.

When I accomplish a challenging goal it is one of the most powerful and wonderful feelings in the world.

But all the vitamins, amino acids, protein etc. needed to get stronger can be found in abundance in plant foods. Anything that is a fruit, nut, grain or seed is vegan and there are thousands of those.

It is worth it to give up all that you now are to be all that you could become.

Take risks that could result in Greatness! Wayne Gretsky said, "You miss 100% of the shots you never take."

Sometimes small setbacks are just blessings in disguise. They enhance your determination and whole-hearted dedication to achieving your goals.

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