Your current situation does not determine your future. Your future is determined by your decision to succeed.

No one's life is a smooth sail; we all come into stormy weather. But it's this adversity - and more specifically our resilience - that makes us strong and successful.

Success is not something you achieve, conquer, climb, or complete. Success is a process; it's a way of life.

You're far more likely to lose the weight and keep it off if you lose slowly, perhaps ½ to 1 pound a week, exercise moderately, and find that replacement for comfort, connection, and control. That's a doable long-term plan.

The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.

The past does not equal the future.
