The
very first thing everyone needs is to establish a
pre-planned training and nutrition schedule that is so
regular that training and eating on a routine become
habits as deeply entrenched as brushing your teeth,
taking a shower, driving a car, or putting your pants on
with the same leg first every day. Training and
nutrition can eventually become so habitual that they
turn into automatic behaviors requiring no conscious
thought - and that is a great place to arrive at.

If you could
If
you could change anything in the world, what would it
be? If you could truly make a difference in the lives of
those around you, how would you do it?
If you suddenly realized that today was like no other,
with each moment a special, priceless and irreplaceable
treasure, how would you spend it? If the world was
depending on you to move it forward, what would your
first step be?
If you could clearly see tomorrow, how would it look? If
you could create tomorrow just the way you wanted, what
would it be like? If you could tell others exactly what
you thought, what would you say? If you knew you could
not fail, what would you attempt?
The truth is, you can do all these things and more.
Every moment is your opportunity, every situation is
your starting point. Think of the very best you would do
if you could. Then make it happen, because you can.
