Don’t repress your needs and feelings. They fester, becoming corrosive and destructive in your relationships. In a calm, loving way, tell the people in your life what you need. Don’t expect people to read your mind. It only leads to disappointment and frustration. Empower them to empower you!
Every human being has gone through a tragedy of sorts. And the idea is that you have two paths you can take, you can find that alchemy that turns lead into gold, find that magic where you can see the loss as an entry point for learning and grow from it and become wiser and stronger.
Don’t blame anyone or anything for your situation or problems. When you do that, you are saying that you are powerless over your own life – which is utter crap. An empowering step to reclaiming your life is taking responsibility.
For years, I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru, because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me, it’s never been about fitness. It’s always been about helping to empower people.
Having the right to happiness means having the right to earn it, not having it given to you without effort and action on your part.
You know when transformation happens? Right now. It’s a present activity. Who is the new you? Show me the new you.
I am doing the best I can given what I have today.
You’re much more likely to reach your goals if they’re your goals, speaking to your desires, rather than the desires of outside influences. Goals that are meaningful to you will keep you inspired and driven towards success.
At the end of the day, your health is your responsibility.
Fitness and proper nutrition truly go hand-in-hand. Focus on eating clean and filling your plate with veggies, fruits, whole grains and lean proteins. And, everyone hates to do it, but calorie counting is crucial to weight loss as well as maintaining a healthy physique.
Why choose to fail when success is an option?
Transformation isn’t a future event, it’s a present day activity.
Think about how you are going to feel if you eat the healthy food, how you are going to look in a bikini next summer or in skinny jeans. Think about feeling strong, healthy, confident. You’ll be more confident in the bedroom, more confident at the office.
Selfish isn’t a dirty word. It means we take care of ourselves and are able to give back.
Be awesome. Live life to the fullest. Shoot for the stars and never settle.
I can’t save you, you have to save yourself.
Life has a way of working out the way it’s meant to.
No one but you can take your dreams away from you.
No one ever died from an open mind.
It’s important to stay true to yourself. You have to know your weaknesses and recruit support when and where you need it.
