1. Never stop dreaming and when you do, take ACTION! – You have one life, this is it.

2. Find inspiration and success, then model it–

Decide what drives and motivates you then

model success.

3. Eat consciously – Eat ethical, eat for health,

nourishment and athletic performance.

4. Practice non-judgment – Judgment stems from

a lack of understanding. Learn to be open.

5. Be the best version of yourself – Consider all

aspects of your life. Wealth, health, career,

contribution, relationships and spirituality.

1. Contribute - Contributing to society and the community in a positive way not only is rewarding but deepens our sense of purpose and the rewards come back two-fold. Getting out of your comfort zone is where growth and human connections are made.

1. Positive intentions result in positive action - Others will judge us for our actions, but we judge ourselves by our intentions. If our intentions are positive and well thought out, positive actions will shine through.

2. Create healthy habits - "The secret of your success is found in your daily routine."

3. Commit to being fit - Have a plan and stick to it. The flow on effect from this in all areas of your life is priceless.

4. Practice compassion - If we can't first look after the most vulnerable beings on this planet, how will we ever look after each other?

1. Every dollar you spend is a vote for the world you want to live in - Whether it's your groceries, technology or clothes, be aware of who and what you're supporting.

Brayden Green

1. Quality over quantity - With food, too many people go overfed and undernourished. With training, give 100% to one exercise at a time to see progress.

1. Longevity over short term gains - Don’t fall for quick fixes and short cuts if you want to create sustainable changes.

2. Create the life you want - Life is too short not to try and make your dreams a reality.

3. Make a positive impact on other people’s lives -True happiness comes from seeing the happiness you can encourage in others.

4. Cherish family and friends - They will be the ones who are there to help you through life, and create the genuine experiences that are priceless.
