Laugh a lot. Laughter will make even the dreariest situations a whole lot more enjoyable.

Believe in yourself and others will believe in you.

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

We are all capable of living each day with a fiery passion and sense of purpose that radiates in our smile and voice.

Every day look in the mirror and flex your muscles. Smile and enjoy the sight of a beautiful fit body. If you don't like what you see, find a photo of how you want your body to look and paste it to the corner of your mirror. Be willing to work hard for what you have the potential to become.

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.
