“It's not how we fall.
It's how we get back up again.”

“Dripping water hollows out stone,
not through force but through persistence.”


“No one can travel so far
that he does not make some progess each day.
So let us never give up.
Then we shall move forward daily.
And let us never despair because of our limited success.
Even though it is so much less than we would like,
our labour is not wasted when
today is better than yesterday!”

A dream doesn't become reality through magic;
it takes sweat, determination and hard work

An invincible determination

Nobody can protect you from that,

It is the reason you are here on earth.
You are here to risk your heart.
You are here to be swallowed up.
And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed,

let yourself sit by an apple tree

Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”

"By itself the mind can actualize any number of possibilities....,
but unless they are prompted by love,
they are valueless.
Love precedes creation.
Without it there is only chaos...
Unless there is movement, restlessness, turmoil,
you do not call it action.
Chaos is movement for movement's sake.
True action does not displace;
it transforms.
A change of place is mere transportation;
a change of heart is action.
Activity is not action.
Action is hidden, unknown, unknowable. ...

Some people drift through their entire life.
They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time.
It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away
until it's too late.
We spend too much time living in the ‘what if’
and need to learn to live in the ‘what is.’
Quit hanging on to the handrails . . .
Let go. Surrender. Go for the ride of your life.

HAPPY BOXING DAY

Whether I fail or succeed
shall be no man’s doing but my own.
I am the force.
I can clear any obstacle before me
or I can be lost in the maze.
My choice, my responsibility, win or lose.
Only I hold the keys to my destiny.

You have to accept whatever comes,
and the only important thing is
that you meet it with the best you have to give.

Sports gives us the ability to test ourselves
mentally, physically, and emotionally
in a way no other aspect of life can.
For many who struggle with
fitting in or our identity,
sports gives us our first face of confidence.
That first bit of confidence can be a gateway to many other great things.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE

Ultimately all people want happiness,
but they are not willing to do the things necessary
to reach that happiness.
And by this I am not a believer of deferred happiness,
happiness is something you can achieve right now at this very moment
and continue to have every moment in your life.
Most people are unaware of it.

Think your own dream body will give you the happiness you want?
Perhaps it will give a short-lived satisfaction and please your ego.
Nothing or nobody can make you happy.
Neither can anything along the spectrum of time; past, present or future.
It is not based on anything external.

Happiness is a choice.
You can never be responsible for anybody else's happiness but that of yourself.
Therefore the route to happiness is by
establishing who you truly are and acting upon your inner wants.

My family, my husband, a new car....
none of these can make me happy
because I am already happy!
You do all ADD happiness to what already exists

CHOOSE WISELY

"Goals determine what you're going to be."

"Persistence is the ability to maintain actions regardless of your feelings.
You press on even when you feel like quitting.
When you work on any big goal your motivation will wax and wane
like the waves hitting the shore.
Sometimes you’ll feel motivated, sometimes you won’t.
But it’s not your motivation that creates results - it’s your action.

Persistence allows you to keep taking action even when
you don’t feel motivated to do so,
and therefore you keep accumulating results.
Persistence will ultimately provide its own motivation.
If you simply keep taking action, you’ll eventually get results,
and results can be very motivating."

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world are
the people who get up
and look for the circumstances they want,
and, if they can't find them,
make them.

The reason most people never reach their goals is
that they don’t define them,
or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable.
Winners can tell you where they are going,
what they plan to do along the way,
and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

TRAIN YOUR THOUGHTS
The power of positive thoughts.

It's a new year and perhaps a new opportunity to train our thoughts.
We've all heard that what we focus on in life is typically what we attract in life.
Self limiting beliefs can take away our joy and create needless torment.
By changing our focus of thought,
we can transcend the pointlessness of negative energy
by learning to center on all that is positive in our lives.

Here are ten, somewhat related, choices that need to be addressed daily
by competitive athletes and everyone alike.

1) Trying to be perfect.
As athletes, our minds are programmed to be number one.
Keep things in perspective.
The fixation on the impossible can only lead to disappointment,
so rather than trying to be perfect,
let's simply enjoy life doing our best at everything we do
without becoming obsessed on perfection.
We can take pride in doing something well, to the best of our ability,
but remember no one on earth is perfect.



2) Comparing ourselves to others.
For those competing in a physique sport
it's very simple to look at the physical attributes,
or the athleticism of those around us.
We have each been given a genetic code that can be maximized,
but we need to keep things real and simply do our best with what we have been given.
Striving to be the best "me" is a lofty goal in of itself
without trying to be better than someone else over which we have no control.
Let's not worry about what others think of us.
Even as we step on stage, all we can control is ourselves.
Judging is subjective. That we know. We did our best. That we know.
Everything else is out of our control.


3) Focusing on the past or the future.
The past is something that is already over.
Each of us learns from experience but
what happened in the past will never exactly duplicate itself again.
Let the past go and start living in the present.
Let's focus our attention on what we are doing now.
A close friend of mine had to reiterate that to me over and over a number of years ago
as it always seemed I was too focused on the future.
It's good to set goals, definitely including some long term goals,
but let's not get caught up in focusing most of our energy
in this direction or on the past.
The most important moment in time is now.


4) Procrastinating.
This practice usually originates from childhood when
we put off doing something because we didn't like doing it,
or there was something more "fun" to do first.
In university, a couple of my professors would tell me,
"David, had you worked the entire semester as you did the last two weeks,
you would have been a straight A student."
I had more important things to do.
The gym and sports being my main focus.
Although I still fall into this trap at times,
"getting things done today" relieves a ton of headaches
that build each day something is put off.
Take care of that business asap
and let's get our game back at the gym and everywhere else in our lives.


5) Feeling we can't do something.
The only way we can't do something is if we don't even try.
If something is important to us,
there is no reason why we can't start working towards it.
Progress, even baby steps, will reward us with the feeling of accomplishment.
Let's track our progress
and we'll soon see that what we thought was a far off lofty goal,
is coming closer and with it the realization that it was always accessible.
Stop sharing "I'm bored" with your social network.
Get offline, if need be, and start making things happen.


6) Living for others.
We have to live in harmony with others, however,
we are free to set goals and work towards them.
I have seen a lot of people live their lives feeling
that they need to do things this or that way to appease family and friends
or to be better than someone we see as competition.
At the end of the day,
the only way we will move forward and feel good about ourselves is
if we did things for ourselves in our own way
without worrying what others think or how others see us.



7) Keeping things inside.
Communication.
That one word, if executed correctly and thoroughly
is the answer to almost every single issue that arises in our lives.
From work to relationships, if we know the situation, where others are coming from,
then it paints a clearer map that is easy to navigate.
Don't allow anything to bottle up inside.
Share feelings with those closest that you trust.
Discuss the hard topics,
the topics that might even hurt at times.
It's much better to have everything out in the open then to
keep something inside growing until it amounts to an insurmountable obstacle.
Communicate daily. Perhaps set times to "debrief" each day.



8) Having expectations.
The moment we put an expectation on someone or something
is the moment we open ourselves up to disappointment.
This can apply to our commute to work, at the gym waiting for equipment,
waiting for a training partner to show up or in our intimate lives.
Everyday we are faced with countless moments of expectation.
How we handle each determines our mood and the rest of the day
limiting those expectations will limit those negative emotions
that can flood up quickly.
Enjoy what is.



9) Trying to control everything in our life.
Life happens. Allow it and accept it.
It is impossible to control every aspect of our life
so that the results are always favourable.
Let's not worry if we make mistakes, we're human.
Learn to enjoy each moment for what it is.

10) Blaming others.
As much as we would like to deny it,
this is one of the most common signs of lacking happiness,
confidence and focus inside ourselves.
The amount to which we can fulfill our dreams depends on
the amount to which we take responsibility for the journey we lay out for ourselves.
We need to accept responsibility for the life we are creating for ourselves
and with this responsibility comes the need to "free everyone around us".
Blaming others denies our responsibility.
It allows others to have power over that aspect of our lives.
The sooner we let this go,
the sooner our lives will move forward at an exponential rate.

By recognizing and addressing these ten choices as soon as possible,
we will start to feel a new found freedom in our life.
Yes, it takes a conscientious effort.
Some days may be more challenging than others,
but it's keeping the course of our path moving forward
that will present us with more opportunities then we ever realized possible
and with the happiest frame of mind possible.

These ten points to consider are relevant in our personal lives as well
as in our competitive lives.
Regardless of who or what we are up against,
believing in ourselves, that we are bigger then our problems,
focusing on what is positive in our lives,
will inevitably reward us with the life we seek for ourselves.
Once we can step back from our life for a moment,
the energy we put out becomes clear.
Is it the energy we want to attract in our lives?
I challenge each of you to walk to a mirror where you can be alone,
look yourself in the eye,
and tell that person (you) that you love them
and that you are going to work your hardest to be the best person you can be
EVERY day.
Feels weird doesn't it.
We all joke about self affirmations
but there is something to them.
We all have battles inside and demons we need to get rid of.
These fears and insecurities will not go easily.
It will take daily self reassurance
to get through many of the points I laid out above.

Beginning this moment,
let's think before we speak, before we act,
and ensure our words, our tone, our actions
improve our life and the lives of those around us.
We will feel the positive effects immediately in the gym and in our lives.
I have seen these points help myself and friends around me,
let me know how it works for you.

Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers
you cannot be successful or happy.

And if you think you can't, you're right.

"whenever you behave in a way that is
inconsistent with your ideal of your very best behavior,
you experience a negative self-image.
You feel yourself to be performing below your best,
below what you truly aspire to."

Your life will be no better than
the plans you make and the action you take.
You are the architect and builder of
your own life, fortune, destiny.

Rocky quote:
IT'S NOT HOW HARD CAN HIT !
BUT ITS HOW HARD YOU CAN GET HIT AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD


well couple days into prep and what happens?
up all night with a urinary tract infection in excruciating pain
at 1am thought i can't take it anymore
woke hubby up and said "i'm taking myself to Emergency"
got dressed and of course had to go,
actually try to go to bathroom on way out of door
and on sitting on toilet thinkin…
"1 am i'll be in the hospital at least 6 hrs,
but then the clinic will be almost open,
and whats hard is most of the time you are sitting on toilet trying to pee,
and eeeek the toilets in hospital emergency wards
and if i'm in emerg by myself and i'm in the bathroom and don't hear my name called
then i'll be there even longer"
so decided to tough it out
had hot bath
wrapped myself up in lots clothes, took some Codiene painkillers,
and finally passed out from sheer exhastion somewhere after 2am
got a few hrs sleep then up to clinic got antibiotics....
my online client who's prepping for BC's Tony Tomra texted me
he came down with flu day before and still wrecked
i told him what i was going thru
and he's like "theres always something going on"
and i'm like "yep there's ALWAYS something !
and he said this which i love...
"Isn't that what half of meet/contest prep is.....
battling the obstacles that get thrown in our way.


and he's sooooooooo right
there's always something
and you can either succumb to the road blocks
or you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off and GO AGAIN....


and what alot of people don't get is...
it's ALWAYS FUKCING HARD, AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE HARD
there's no perfect time, theres no good time
there's always shit coming down the pipeline
life throws curve balls at you

but she had surgery, took necessary bit of time off, but lucky her surgeon had a sis that had competed so understood

I'm trying to gain some lean muscle and tone up for the summer time as well as in general. Also, I still have a bit of "flab" on me and such so, starting about two months ago, I've been working out 5 days a week, being in the evenings an hour or so after I eat supper, cause i have a 3 year old and I attend college during the days. I skip rope for 30 mins to an hour, depending on the day. Then I do weights for an hour. I'm planning to start drinking whey protein (isolate) after my workouts. To achieve my goal for a slim toned body, should I stick with salads for lunches like I've been doing, eating fruits and veggies, and lean proteins. As for rice and pasta, which one should I stick with? If anyone can help me out and have any helpful tips or advice for me that would be great!!!!

it's about eating a correct balanced diet
the right weight training program
and cardio
how much for eat macro nutrient depends on lots of things
without a full assessment seeing what you look like, what your goals are, age, height, weight, how much fat, lean mass, and dwelving into lifestyle
it's just a guessing game
best thing i can recommend is find a good coach
either in-person or online to work with you so you are not wasting valuable time
and you will get to your goals faster without frustration and confusion
think of it as you are in school / educating yourself
no different than if you want to learn how to fix your car yourself
you wouldn't just start ripping about ramdonly at your engines
you would either go to school and be a mechanic or you would find a teacher/mentor to show you how to do it correctly

Success is almost totally dependent upon
drive and persistence.
The extra energy required to make another effort
or try another approach is the secret of winning.

Before success comes in any man's life,
he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and,
perhaps some failures.
When defeat overtakes a man,
the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit.
That's exactly what the majority of men do.

a person refuses to quit.

As we grow up,
we learn that even the one person
that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will.
You'll have your heart broken
and you'll break others' hearts.
You'll fight with your best friend
or maybe even fall in love with them,
and you'll cry because time is flying by.
So take too many pictures,
laugh too much, forgive freely,
and love like you've never been hurt.
Life comes with no guarantees,
no time outs, no second chances.
you just have to live life to the fullest,
tell someone what they mean to you
and tell someone off, speak out,
dance in the pouring rain,
hold someone's hand,
comfort a friend,
fall asleep watching the sun come up,
stay up late, be a flirt,
and smile until your face hurts.
Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love
and most of all,
live in the moment because
every second you spend angry or upset
is a second of happiness you can never get back.

“Remembering you are going to die
is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
You are already naked.
There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

Get out of your head and get into your heart.
Think less, feel more.
Don’t be too much attached to thoughts;
get deeper into sensations.
Just see the change: it is only a change of gestalt.
You are lost in your thoughts, you cannot hear the birds singing.
Then you change the gestalt. Just the focus changes, it is a shift.
You are no more worried by the thoughts:
suddenly all the birds are there singing, the flowers blooming,
the sunrays passing through the trees and the wind playing around with the old dead leaves.
Just a shift…

These are the three layers: thoughts, the outermost; and being,
the innermost; and feeling, in between, the bridge.
Move from thoughts to feelings and from feelings to being,
and start living from being.
That does not mean that you don’t have any feelings — you will have feelings,
but those feelings will follow being; they will have the flavor of being, the heartbeat of being.
It does not mean that you will not be able to think — you will be able to think far more intelligently,
but now your thinking will have the juiciness of your feelings and the light of your being;
your thoughts will be luminous.

Keep your dreams alive.
Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself,
vision, hard work, determination, and dedication.
Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

You've got to get up every morning with determination
if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.

The difference between the impossible and the possible
lies in a man's determination.

The ultimate measure of man is
not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions:
could have, might have, and should have.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present.

They’re there to stop the other people.”

If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces,

What you get by achieving your goals is
not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

Develop an attitude of gratitude,
and give thanks for everything that happens to you,
knowing that every step forward
is a step toward achieving something bigger and better
than your current situation.

The discipline you learn and character you build
from setting and achieving a goal
can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.

“Our thoughts create our reality
where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.”
WHAT WE FOCUS OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ON
EXPANDS !
so focus on what you want,
NOT what you DON'T WANT !
that my friends is how the LAW OF ATTRACTION WORKS !

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is
that we never direct our focus;
we never concentrate our power.
Most people dabble their way through life,
never deciding to master anything in particular.

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.”

When we are no longer able to change a situation,
we are challenged to change ourselves.

Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability.

Mutability
To-morrow dies;
All that we wish to stay
Tempts and then flies.
What is this world's delight?
Lightning that mocks the night,
Brief even as bright.


Virtue, how frail it is!
Friendship how rare!
Love, how it sells poor bliss
For proud despair!
But we, though soon they fall,
Survive their joy, and all
Which ours we call.


Whilst skies are blue and bright,
Whilst flowers are gay,
Whilst eyes that change ere night
Make glad the day;
Whilst yet the calm hours creep,
Dream thou—and from thy sleep
Then wake to weep.

Our goals can only be reached
through a vehicle of a plan,
in which we must fervently believe,
and upon which we must vigorously act.
There is no other route to success.

Life is short, fragile and does not wait for anyone.
There will NEVER be a perfect time to pursue your dreams and goals.
Pursue them NOW.
Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal;
while others, on the contrary,
obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.
Be the latter person.
When faced with an adversity or obstacle,
power forward harder than ever before!
And with the right mindset and enough drive forward you WILL accomplish your goals.
And the beautiful thing about that is
that arriving at one goal
is the starting point to another
and the cycle forever continues!

why wait?
just do it
do it now

Do what you can,
with what you have,
where you are.
Hard work spotlights the character of people:
some turn up their sleeves,
some turn up their noses,
and some don’t turn up at all

Yesterday is a cancelled check;
Tomorrow is a promissory note;
Today is the only cash you have,
so spend it wisely.

live life to its fullest
it goes fast
says this almost 49 yr old
so don't procrastinate
take the bull by the horns
cuz if you keep puttin' it off
you eventually will run outta days
just do it now

pt of the day

We have all ran into them,
the people who are more concerned with doing things like their friends do things,
the people who can't see outside of the box that they are in,
to even think about doing life differently.

Why do we give everyone else so much power in our own lives?
Why do we listen to or take advice from people who don't have any type of say in their own lives.
Just because other people believe in negative thinking,
doesn't mean that you have to believe in the same thing.

You never know the things that are really possible in your own life until you really try.
Stop listening to people who have never even attempted to go after their dreams,
and people who were too scared to take the first step.
Take your first steps today, and get on the road to living your dreams!

just do it

“If you want to live a happy life,
tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”

If you do what you have always done
you will get what you've always got
if you want change
you gotta be willing to change
if not you are stuck
when you are sick and tired
of being sick and tired
YOU ARE READY FOR CHANGE

You must accept that you might fail;
then, if you do your best and still don't win,
at least you can be satisfied that you've tried.
If you don't accept failure as a possibility,
you don't set high goals,
you don't branch out, you don't try
you don't take the risk.

Always Do Your Best.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment;
it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.
Under any circumstance,
simply do your best,
and you will avoid self-judgment,
self-abuse and regret.

You can only do your best.
That's all you can do.
And if it isn't good enough, it isn't good enough.

TO ALL MY KELOWNA COMPETITORS, i'm so proud of you all
go out there and shine like the STARS you are
and ABOVE ALL...
HAVE FUN
just do it

“To be yourself

that we take the ACTION necessary to accomplish that goal.”

All men dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night
in the dusty recesses of their minds,
wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they may act on their dreams with open eyes,
to make them possible.

Dream as if you'll live forever.
Live as if you'll die today.

The future belongs to those who
believe in the beauty of their dreams.

“It's not so much what you accomplish.
But what's more important is how far you've come to accomplish what you have.
Success is the measure of not mere achievement, but also how hard one had to work.”

“It is your vibrational thoughts that give life to the goals you wish for.”

be careful what you think
as your thoughts create your reality

that we cannot overcome the circumstances of our lives.
That is simply not true.
You have been blessed with immeasurable power to

But you can't just wish it,
you can't just hope it,

A dream doesn't become reality
through magic;
it takes sweat,
determination and hard work.

Crystallize your goals.
Make a plan for achieving them
and set yourself a deadline.
Then, with supreme confidence,
determination
and disregard for obstacles
and other people's criticisms,
carry out your plan.

Don't dwell on what went wrong.
Instead, focus on what to do next.
Spend your energies on moving forward
toward finding the answer.
We keep moving forward,
opening new doors,
and doing new things,
because we're curious
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.
Don't resist them
that only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality.
Let things flow naturally forward
in whatever way they like.
Sometimes things in our life don't go the way we want, or hoped for...
and we don't understand at the time...
but i truely believe everything happens for a reason...
and when one door closes other doors open....
and later on we see that....
oh yeah that had to happen for this to happen....

Constructive anger," the demon said, her voice dripping sarcasm.

Also known as passion," I said quietly.
"Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed prisoners and slaves.
Passion has brought justice where there was savagery.
Passion has created freedom where there was nothing but fear.

success is buried on the other side of frustration.
Unfortunately, some people don’t get to the other side…
They allow frustration to keep them from

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

THIS IS AWESOME from my facebook yesterday i really want all you to read this
: this is not the 1st time this guy has echo'd EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS AND WHAT I SAY....
so nice to find a like mind...
READ UP PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
love what he says about "so-called metabolic damage" as well...
totally echo's my thought train... a
nd had a big conversation with my ROLFER/MASSAGE THERAPIST
very knowledgeable Vernon Marshall yesterday while on his table lol

Dawn Alison shared Lean Bodies Consulting's status. POST:
I don’t care how hard you train,
I don’t care how many metabolic workouts you do,
or how much cardio you do,
if you can’t nail your diet week in and week out,
you’re short changing yourself of results.
You’re working hard in the gym for sub-optimal,
or in some cases, NO, results.

Want great results?
Stick to your nutrition plan, consistently.
Week in and week out.
One meal at a time.
A simple thing to remember –
extraordinary results requires extraordinary efforts.

There’s little that annoys me more as a diet coach
than someone who whines and complains about lackluster results …
and then says, something like,
“My diet is pretty good, I’m making better choices. Just a few cheats.”
Or maybe the person is telling me that they’re bang on with their diet,
except for the little nibbles and small extras here and there.
What? That’s not bang on in my book. That’s extra.
I don’t care how small it is, when ‘small’ is repeated often, it’s no longer small.

Everything counts, big cheats, little cheats, additional this or that, nibbles, it all adds up.
Now, hey, that’s all perfectly fine, it’s your choice.
It’s fine to fall short of optimal compliance …
if you’re willing to accept the results of those choices.
If you’re not?
Then stop cheating, nibbling or whatever it is that you’re doing that’s off plan.
Great results are on the other side waiting for you.

It is ALWAYS going to come back to nutritional compliance, always.
Look there first if you want more.

Sherri Kosciuk-Tappert
Thanks Dawn Alison for Never telling me what I wanted to hear.
Your Tough Love (and always telling me the truth whether I liked it or not)
is what got me to my goal & onto that stage. LOVE YOU TO BITS xo ♥
Tough coaching is sometimes required.
Effective coaches should tell their athletes/clients what they NEED to hear,
which is not always the same as what they might WANT to hear
but it's always done so one, with the client's best interests in mind
and two, because the coach knows the client has more potential than they're demonstrating.
They don't coddle, or enable, they challenge and they expect.

I was happy to read this feedback in a biweekly today
which references my biweekly response to her last biweekly,
where I was in fact ... tough. I appreciate her honesty here.

Biweekly:

"Well, to be honest your feedback from last biweekly initially pissed me the heck off.
My first thought was who in the $&*% does he think he is, blah blah blah,
then I remembered all your posts about taking the emotions out and go on the facts.
Guess what?
You were absolutely correct.
I became lax and thought cheating and deviations didn't matter and my body was telling me it did,
I just didn't want to listen.
I mean truth be told you already have my money
you could have not cared and continued to let me be a knucklehead,
but you told me the truth and gave me the kick in the ass I needed.
You don't sugarcoat;
you told me the truth and it was up to ME to determine if I was going to get back on track and make the change.
I appreciate it so much and it really solidified the type of person you are.
Thanks "

To be prepared is half the victory.


'Champions aren't made in the gyms.
Champions are made from something they have deep inside them
a desire, a dream, a vision.'

Regardless of how you feel inside
, always try to look like a winner.
Even if you are behind,
a sustained look of control and confidence
can give you a mental edge that results in victory.

whether you think you can
or you can't
you are right !

There are only two options regarding commitment.
You're either IN or you're OUT.
There is no such thing as life in-between.

Pain is temporary.
It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year,
but eventually it will subside
and something else will take its place.
If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

You can become a winner only if
you are willing to walk over the edge.

pt of the day

"Continuity gives us roots;
change gives us branches,
letting us stretch and grow
and reach new heights."
If you do what you have always done
you will get what you've always got
you want change
then you gotta be willing to change
if not, guess what?
you're stuck

"Those who expect moments of change
to be comfortable and free of conflict
have not learned their history."

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning,
but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

just do it

pt of the day

If you expect the world to be fair with you
because you are fair,
you’re fooling yourself.
That’s like expecting the lion not to eat you
because you didn’t eat him.

No matter how good or bad you have it,
wake up each day thankful for your life.
Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

Happiness is not determined by
what’s happening around you,
but rather what’s happening inside you.
Most people depend on others to gain happiness,
but the truth is,
it always comes from within

just do it
Dawn

pt of the day

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones,
you'll start having positive results.

Like success, failure is many things to many people.
With Positive Mental Attitude,
failure is a learning experience,
a rung on the ladder,
a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order
and prepare to try again.

I believe in Karma.
If the good is sown,
the good is collected.
When positive things are made,
that returns well.

pt of the day

Focus on the journey,
not the destination.

Joy is found not in finishing an activity
but in doing it.

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind
on things we desire not things we fear.
