How I did it: When I was 19, my best friend and I hopped into her beat-up old truck and drove from Colorado to Las Vegas, then on to Southern California and Mexico. Loads of fun. A little scary at times but we both had traveled a lot on our own (through Europe and such). Just be smart and careful, and ready for anything. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Figure out what is really important to you - your roles in life. And make a list of all the times you felt satisfied and successful. I read a lot, particularly books by Covey and books on happiness and flow. It's important to find challenges that fit your abilities and to see the process as just as important as the destination.

How I did it: I smoked for three years in college and I got to the point where I decided it was time to quit for good. I worked with a counselor at my school and I used the patch and gum. I tried many times but kept going back to the cigarettes. After a year of trying I finally quit for good. That was five years ago and now even the smell of cigarette smoke makes me sick. I hope I didn't do any permanent damage to my lungs! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started my own art show business. It wasn't easy but I was committed to making it work.

How I did it: I took a small group lesson. Then I had a friend of mine who is an awesome snowboarder teach me. She borrowed my ski stuff and I borrowed her snowboard stuff. I live right near a ski resort so it was pretty easy to do. I definitely recommend taking a lesson first and not just renting a board and trying it on your own! I still like skiing better because I'm so much more comfortable on my skis. I also have padded shorts (that I first used t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: At first I expected perfection in my training plan, but then I realized that life doesn't happen in a perfect linear manner. I did long runs on the weekend and two or three shorter runs during the weekdays. I ran hills, did intervals, and some days I just ran slowly. Learning how to do it isn't hard - there are tons of free online training plans. Following through with it all and staying authentic to yourself is the hard part. I made a li… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took it one day at a time. I had three surgeries in the cold winter months, but I just kept going. because what else can you do? I asked for help from friends and family when I needed it but in the end I had to rely on my own self to keep a positive outlook. Read how I did it…
