I AM: two of the most powerful of words; for what you put after them shapes your reality. We tend to believe what we are repeatedly told. What you say about yourself impacts not only who you are, but who you can become. Be kind, be aspirational, be tough when needed. I AM: Fit. Focused. Fearless.

Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
—  Mary Anne Radmacher

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

Wake up with determination.
Go to bed with satisfaction.

You don’t have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.
—  C.S. Lewis

Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.

Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.
— T. Alan Armstrong

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don’t give up.
