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

Attend your children's athletic events. There's nothing better than watching your child succeed while absolutely loving the opportunity to play in front of you.

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.

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.

Most people are afraid to follow their dreams. The thought of failure is too much for them to handle so they never even try to achieve them.

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.
