The price of success is hard work,
dedication to the job at hand,
and the determination that
whether we win or lose,
we have applied the best of ourselves
to the task at hand.
You have no control over what the other guy does.
You only have control over what you do.

10 Ways to Live a More Meaningful Life
1. Know What’s Important
Know what’s important for you.'
Write down your top 5 things that you believe are the essence of how you want to live life.
This can include things like “family time,” or “sing
every day.” It could also include more complex ideas, like “honesty” and “simplicity.”
2. Pursue Your Passion
I believe everyone should pursue their passion in life.
It’s what makes life worth living, and gives our lives true meaning and purpose.
Each time you work on something you love, it creates joy inside you like nothing else.
Finding a way to use your passions to give back to the world will give your life ultimate meaning.
If you can’t manage (or aren’t ready) to work on your passion for a living,
be sure and make time for it every day.
By working on your passion and becoming an expert in it,
you will eventually have the opportunity to make money from it.
Be ready to seize that opportunity!
3. Discover Your Life’s Purpose
If you had to give yourself a reason to live, what would it be? What would you stand for?
What principles do you hold highest? Is your life’s purpose to help others?
Is it to inspire others with great works of art, or you words?
Finding your life’s purpose is a daunting task,
and when I first heard the idea, I had no idea where to start.
For methods on discovering your life’s purpose,
I recommend Steve Pavlina’s blog entries on the subject.
4. Be Self-Aware
Be aware of yourself and your actions.
Remain mindful of what you do at all times,
and make sure you are living life according to your principles, your life’s purpose,
and what you are passionate about.
Review your actions each day, taking stock of those that strayed from your path.
Work towards correcting any incidents in the future.
Meditation is a great tool for accomplishing this task.
It helps us increase our self-awareness throughout the day.
5. Focus
Rather than chasing 3 or 4 goals and making very little progress on them,
place all of your energy on one thing. Focus.
Not only will you alleviate some of the stress associated with trying to juggle so many tasks,
you will be much more successful.
Try and align your goal with something you are passionate about,
so that there will be an intrinsic drive to work hard and do well.
6. People More Than Things
Often, we are faced with wanting to buy material goods.
I recommend you consider carefully what you purchase,
and think more about spending your money on experiences with friends and family.
Not only will this give deeper meaning to your life
by focusing on your relationships rather than material wealth,
but you will be a happier person as a result.
7. Live With Compassion
Both for yourself, and others.
For some, compassion is the purpose of life,
what gives it meaning, and what leads to ultimate happiness.
8. Find a Way to Give Back
Do something that both honors your beliefs and passions,
while giving something back to the world.
By giving something back, we inevitably find purpose in the act.
By cultivating more of these activities,
you will find your life has more meaning and purpose behind it.
9. Simplify Your Life
By simplifying your life, y
ou’ll have more time to do what fulfills you and gives your life meaning.
It can also help reduce stress and make your overall life easier to manage.
It can also greatly improve your productivity.
If you’ve never tried to simplify things before,
it really is a great feeling.
10. Set Daily Goals
In the morning, before you start your day,
create a list of 3 goals that you find fulfilling and meaningful.
Make sure they adhere to your set of principles and beliefs.
Tackle the hardest things first! Don’t make this list too long.
By placing too many things on the list, you’ll feel the urge to multi-task,
which is not good, or you’ll feel overwhelmed, which isn’t good either.
By trying to do less, you’ll end up doing more.
Doing all of these things at once may seem daunting,
but you can pick one thing at a time and slowly incorporate the ideas into your life.
Life is about the journey, not the destination.
Living a life of purpose gives both fulfillment and meaning to your journey

Champions aren't made in the gyms.
Champions are made from something they have deep inside them
a desire, a dream, a vision.
Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished,
but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

You have to envision yourself with the things you dream of,
as if you are already in possession of them.
As soon as you firmly believe you can attain the goals that you desire,
you are one GIANT step closer to achieving them.
As much as we may wish that something great will just fall into our lap,
reality shows that it will most likely not occur this way.
Thoughts of "I wish I had..."
pass through our minds every day.
Instead of just wishing,
take action,
and you will attain the great things you desire.

"The power of the human will to compete
and the drive to excel
beyond the body's normal capabilities
is most beautifully demonstrated in the arena of sport."
"Victory isn't defined by wins or losses.
It is defined by effort.
If you can truthfully say,
'I did the best I could,
I gave everything I had,'
then you're a winner."
I realized that I have already won...
I made it here

Love never fails,
character never quits,
and dreams do come true.

“It's not the size of the dog in the fight,
it's the size of the fight in the dog.”
“Sports do not build character. They reveal it.”
Champions keep playing until they get it right.
It is your response to winning and losing
that makes you a winner or a loser.
