#1 tip for success:
Make the decision before you start to not give up no matter what. When things get hard, don’t let it be an option. Remember the decision you made and stick to it. You can cry, you can walk, you can do anything you need…you cannot give up.
Favourite Quote:
"When the alarm goes off at 4:30 a.m., literally or figuratively, get up and take action. You committed ahead of time, and whether or not you feel like doing it (whatever “it” may be) in the moment doesn’t really matter if you’re working toward something aligned with your higher purposes in life. 4:30 a.m. moments happen all the time, and the more you follow through on previous commitments when push comes to shove, the easier it becomes to do regularly." ~Travis Macy
