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

Everyday I attempt to consume 4,000 Calories and 200 grams of protein. I don't always reach that mark but when I go to bed at night I know that I did the best I could given my schedule and the circumstances that day.

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.

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

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

The song How do you like me now? By Toby Keith will be my personal theme song when I attend my first high school reunion.

Your health and well being should be your number one priority, nothing else is more important.
