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.

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.

When you succeed be proud of yourself and know that not everyone gets to experience the thrill of success on a consistent basis.

You have thousands of choices and decisions to make everyday. You have the right to not go to the gym, you the right to follow poor nutritional habits, you have the right to overwork yourself and not get enough sleep. You must accept the fact that your physique has suffered because of the choices that you make everyday.

When I tell people that I'm vegan, the first question asked is, 'How do you get enough protein?' This immediately tells me that they are uneducated and know little or nothing about nutrition.

Be willing to give people a second chance. You'd be surprised how well people respond to another opportunity to succeed.

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