WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT.
YOU BRING ABOUT.....

When you focus on lack and scarcity
and what you don’t have,
you fuss about it with your family,
you discuss it with your friends,
you tell your children that you don’t have enough
“We don’t have enough for that, we can’t afford that” '
then you’ll never be able to afford it,
because you begin to attract more of what you don’t have.
If you want abundance,
if you want prosperity,
then focus on abundance.
Focus on prosperity.

“If you’re feeling good,
then you’re creating a future that’s on track with your desires.
If you’re feeling bad, you’re creating a future that’s off track with your desires.
As you go about your day,
the law of attraction is working in every second.
Everything we think and feel is creating our future.
If you’re worried or in fear,
then you’re bringing more of that into your life throughout the day.
Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts.
That includes all the great things,
and all the things you consider not so great.
Since you attract to you what you think about most,
it is easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been on every subject of your life,
because that is what you have experienced.
Until now!

YOU CAN CHANGE WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE,
WITH YOU,
RIGHT NOW,
BY CHANGING YOUR THOUGHTS
AND STICKING TO THEM !
NO EXCUSES,
MAKE A DECISION
AND STICK TO IT IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

just do it

PT OF THE DAY

I got back from the East last night
sorry no pt of the days been going out
too busy
and my laptop way too hard to use
anyways....

COME HOME to the HOOD (aka SURREY, BC, CANADA) with the HARDWARE....
2013 Canadian National Grand Masters Champion
and 2013 Canadian National 2nd Place Heavyweight Champion....
unfortuneately the Pro Card eluded me....
but i am NOT GIVING UP

now prepping for Aug 30, 2013
NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA...
GOTTA GET THE PRO CARD !

THIS Rocky Balboa QUOTE EPITOMIZES HOW I FEEL and HOW I LIVE MY LIFE:
Let me tell you something you already know.
The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows.
It’s a very mean and nasty place,
and I don’t care how tough you are,
it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain’t about how hard you hit.
It’s about how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward;
how much you can take
and keep moving forward.
That’s how winning is done!
Now, if you know what you’re worth,
then go out and get what you’re worth.
But you gotta be willing to take the hits,
and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.
Cowards do that and that ain’t you.
You’re better than that!

JUST F'in DO IT !
Dawn FULLY RELOADED....

Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock,
perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.
Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two,
and I know it was not the last blow that did it,
but all that had gone before.
STEADY BLOWS BREAK THE ROCK !
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO TRY, AND TRY AGAIN....
Don't blame setbacks on bad luck,.
Look for reasons why you failed.
If you blame your defeats on bad luck
then it follows that your victories are only due to good luck.
The successful person learns to take responsibility for their lives.
BAM, BAM, BAM...
however many blows it takes...
thatz how many blows i'm gonna hit it with all my might ...

just friggin do it,

“There's only one way to succeed in anything,
and that is to give it everything.”

“In the confrontation between the stream and the rock,
the stream always wins
not through strength but by perseverance.”

“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 before. ”

“Nature, by example,
shows us anything worthwhile comes over time.
Anything worthwhile grows methodically,
building on a strong foundation.
Develop a willingness to carry on
despite roadblocks.”

Dawn I know ur a bbuilder at heart but does the new womens physique interest you at all? It seems possibly healither long term if u were set on competing for the next decade. I recall an interview by nicole ball switched over and expresses how she enjoys it?

for me personally: I have ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST in going in WOMENS PHYSIQUE
nothing against it
it's not for me
personally in 1 yr of it being around it's already Morphed into womens bbing anyways
and in another yr or 2 will be right where womens bbing is now anyways
it's the same thing called a different name
i'm old school in many ways, in training and in this I STAND FIRM
i'll compete in BODYBUILDING till theres no more shows left
goin down with the ship so to speak lol

what i thinks funny is
i dont' give a damn what you call it: BIKINI, FIGURE, FITNESS, PHYSIQUE, BODYBUILDING
it's all "BODYBUILDING"
the building of the body
so why change the name it's kinda absurd
change the judging, change the standard, but why change the name ?
you can call an apple an orange, but in the end it's still an apple

It is not enough to take steps which may some day lead to a goal;
each step must be itself a goal and a step likewise.

Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.

The difference between a successful person and others
is not a lack of strength,
not a lack of knowledge,
but rather a lack in will.

"The indispensable first step
to getting the things you want out of life is this:
decide what you want."

"Decide upon your major definite purpose in life
and then organize all your activities around it."

"Keep focused on the substantive issues.
To make a decision means
having to go through one door and closing all others."

"You are more likely to acquire power by
narrowing your focus and applying your energies,
like the sun’s rays,
to a limited range of activities in a small number of domains."

“Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
you shall begin it serenely
and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

Letting go helps us to to live in a more peaceful state of mind
and helps restore our balance.
It allows others to be responsible for themselves
and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us.
This frees us from unnecessary stress.

Some people believe holding on and hanging in
there are signs of great strength.
However,
there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go
and then do it.

“The only thing that stands between a man
and what he really wants from life is
often merely the will to try it
and the faith to believe that it is possible.”

“Faith is not desire.
Faith is will.
Desires are things that need to be satisfied,
whereas will is a force.
Will changes the space around us.”

“Your dream is not big enough
if it does not scare you.”

Hold fast to dreams,

life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.

“When you want to attract something into your life,
make sure your actions don’t contradict your desires..
Think about what you have asked for,
and make sure that your actions are
mirroring what you expect to receive,
and that they’re not contradicting what you‘ve asked for.
Act as if you are receiving it.
Do exactly what you would do if
you were receiving it today,
and take actions in your life to reflect that powerful expectation.
Make room to receive your desires,
and as you do,
you are sending out that powerful signal of expectation.

The question for each PERSON to settle is
not what they would do if they had means, time, influence and educational advantages;
the question is
what they will do with the things they have.
Then they lay the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.

You cannot dream yourself into a character:
you must hammer and forge yourself into one.

Commitment leads to action.
Action brings your dream closer.

Hold fast to dreams,
for if dreams die,
life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
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.

The heart is a muscle..a

They grow back STRONGER!

Its not up to you how you fall.
Its up to you how far you let yourself fall
and how long it takes you to get back up
and stand on your own two feet”

From:CBBF HEAD JUDGE: Debbie Karpenko
Date: 25 July, 2013
CBBF Chairman Mark Smishek
will not allow alot of stone work in the physique category.
I recommend there be a min of 1 1/2 - 2 " of material
between the rhinestones on the suits.
If there is to much bling he will ask them to remove it from their suits
or wear an alternative suit.
I also recommend each competitor have a back up suit.

RE: RHINESTONE LINING EDGES OF SUIT:
I didn't say anything about the edges of the suit.
I said there must be a space of material (recommend 1 1/2 - 2" )

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.

Thought = creation.
If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad)
that speeds the creation.
You attract your dominant thoughts.
EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted ..
accept that fact ..
it's true.
What you focus on with your thought and feeling
is what you attract into your experience.
"All that we are is a result of what we have thought"....
YOU CREATE YOU
AND IT ALL STARTS WITH YOUR THOUGHTS....
so be careful what you think about,

The reason most people never reach their goals is
that they don’t define them,

or even 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...

If you’re bored with life
you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things
you don’t have enough goals .

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan,

There'll be two dates on your tombstone
and all your friends will read 'em
but all that's gonna matter is
that little dash between 'em.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do
than by the things you did.

The purpose of life, after all, is to live it,
to taste experience to the utmost,
to reach out eagerly
and without fear for newer and richer experience.

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.

Try not.
Do or do not.
There is no try.

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 their dream with open eyes,
to make it possible.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

ON DREAMS....
The question for each man to settle
is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages;
the question is what he will do with the things he has.
The moment a young man ceases to dream
or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face,
and resolves to change them,
he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.

the thing always happens that you really believe in;
and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

Commitment leads to action.
Action brings your dream closer

Write it down.
Written goals have a way of transforming wishes into wants;
cant’s into cans;
dreams into plans;
and plans into reality.
Don’t just think it – ink it!

When a goal matters enough to a person,
that person will find a way
to accomplish what at first seemed impossible.

To will is to select a goal,
determine a course of action
that will bring one to that goal,
and then hold to that action till the goal is reached.
The key is action.

To achieve your goal
you first have to define one.

How can you motivate yourself to change
so you can get exactly what you want out of life?

YOU have to WANT to change;
you must choose to change.
You, and only you, are in control of your destiny.
Choosing to change means
that you are willing to do what it takes to get what you want in life;
you will give up your daily status quo routine
in exchange for something better for tomorrow....
YOU must break through barriers to change.
Decide what you want
and then make a commitment to yourself.

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

There is little difference in people,
but that little difference makes a big difference.
That little difference is attitude.
The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

You cannot control what happens to you,
but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you,
and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

If you don't like something change it;
if you can't change it,
change the way you think about it.
Happiness is an attitude.

We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.

Happy Bday Doug Young RIP

If you want to reach a goal,
you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind
before you actually arrive at your goal.

A goal properly set is halfway reached.

You are capable of more than you know.
Choose a goal that seems right for you
and strive to be the best,
however hard the path.
Aim high. Behave honorably.
Prepare to be alone at times,
and to endure failure.
Persist!

The world needs all you can give.
Desire is the key to motivation,
but it's determination
and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal
a commitment to excellence
that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

The only way to achieve true success is
to express yourself completely in service to society.
First, have a definite, clear, practical ideal-a goal, an objective.
Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends-wisdom,

You don’t have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things – to compete.
You can be just an ordinary chap,
sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.

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.

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.

“The man who does not value himself,
cannot value anything or anyone.”

I believe very strongly that in this world you have to have values
and you have to stand up for your interests
and if you don't do those things you're not going to get anywhere.

The 7 Failure-Proof Ways to Achieve Your Goals:

1. Get clear about your goal.

2. Break your goal into a series of sub-goals

3. Visualize.
4. Take action.

5. Keep your goal alive.

6. Keep the benefits in mind.

7. Get help from others.

• Tell your friends, family and colleagues about your goals.

• Stay positive, don’t surrender to the negative.

• Believe.

• Express gratitude

. ======================

1. Get clear about your goal.

Quite often, people want a positive life change, but they don’t know what exactly it is. Take some time in silence to think about it, set your goal and write it down.

2. Break your goal into a series of sub-goals.

Doing so will create a step-by-step process that will help you remove the fear of hesitation. It is important to be specific; make your goal achievable, measurable and having a time limit. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon you can commit yourself to regular trainings, each day running 1 km more than the previous day. Use the present tense instead of future and have a positive image. For instance, instead of saying I will fight laziness focus on “I exercise”.

3. Visualize.

It is powerful to imagine yourself achieve your goal, but researchers say that you might benefit more from visualizing the process of doing instead of just the final result. For example, tennis players can benefit much more from imagining themselves training than winning.

4. Take action.

Start with the easiest sub-goal. Remind yourself of the “just a few minutes” rule. Evidence shows that people are more likely to finish the task once they have started, so to avoid procrastination you just need to start doing it for “just a few minutes”.

5. Keep your goal alive.

It can be a good way to express your goals, plans, benefits and rewards in writing. Keep a journal, cover your fridge with pictures or make a poster! This way, you will be constantly reminded of your goal. And where the focus goes, energy flows.

6. Keep the benefits in mind.

Focus your attention on how achieving your aims will bring positive change to your life. Having a positive picture will help you overcome possible difficulties. Rewarding yourself on accomplishing your sub-goals is likely to boost the chance of success.

7. Get help from others.

On your way to finish, you will meet people who can make your life easier. It is wise to remember that if you want to get help from others, you need to help people first.

There are also some general tips to achieve your goals and make the step taking process much easier:

• Tell your friends, family and colleagues about your goals. It will bring a new level of commitment to your plans. Now, you are additionally motivated to keep your promise

• Stay positive, don’t surrender to the negative. Doubts, obstacles and negative thoughts may come your way and try to divert your attention. Instead of fighting them, switch to a positive image!

• Believe. One can never say enough about how important this tip is. Even if everybody else doubts you, believing that there is light at the end of the tunnel might eventually create one!

• Express gratitude. Counting your blessings will create the energy to help you succeed!

Finally, while chasing for something we often forget to enjoy staying on the road. Remember that not only achieving your goal, but walking the way, too, is the reward in itself.

EGG WHITE Protein Pancakes

My favorite are using banana but you can put almost anything it in, canned pumpkin, berries, shredded apple (shred on cheese crater), applesauce, frozen cranberries etc)

Ingrediants FOR BANANA PROTEIN PANCAKES:

- Liquid Eggwhites (depends on how many grams of protein you need, I use 1 ½ cups)

- Banana

- Cinnamon (I use Costco “Kirkland” brand it’s the best and use 4-6 big shakes cuz I don’t like eggs so it disguises the taste, plus I love cinnamon)

- Starchy Carb if you are allowed I use either uncooked oatmeal, Nutracleanse, or cooked black or brown rice (if using cooked rice, measure amount you need, put on plate beside skillet, once mix egg mixture and pour in skillet then sprinkle on rice, then push into eggwhites with flipper)

· BE PRHEATING YOUR NON-STICK SKILLET ON MED HEAT COATEDF WITH PAM SPRAY

(I prefer my pancakes to be thicker so I use an 8” skillet)

· BLEND ALL INGREDIANTS WELL IN BLENDER

· POUR IN SKILLET

· Make sure heat of skillet is NOT too high or the pancake with not cook thru and you will have trouble when it comes to flipping it

· When you go to flip it should lift up easily if not put it back down

· Most people cook too high of heat so it doesn’t cook thru hence it not being able to flip

· Flip cook other side it won’t need as long

· Cook on cooling rack or underside will sweat and get soggy

· This is when I go take shower etc and let them well cool

· Once cook top with Natural Peanut Butter or Nut butters (ie: almond, cashew etc)

· Then I cut in half, fold together, then cut in wedges

· I eat one for breakfast, 1 later in day

· I cook 2 at one time so have 2 skillets going

· They don’t freeze well they get soggy

· But I have made and eat them up to 5 days later

· ENJOY

BALANCE:
“Imagine life as a game
in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.
You name them – Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit
and you’re keeping all of these in the Air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass.
If you drop one of these;
they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.
They will never be the same.
You must understand that and strive for it.”

CEO of Steeltribe Musclegear, Aaron Ash says "The "Muttonator" provides us with a unique expansion into both the Canadian and American market"

Mutton is the former Mayor of Clarington, in Ontario Canada, and is the owner and CEO of Municipal Solutions, a company servicing clients in both the US and Canada. He is only bodybuilder/politician/businessman that has ever been on the G-8 negotiating committee for nuclear fusion. Mutton's distinguished career has earned him the prestigious Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal for service to Canada.

After leaving public office, John Mutton started on his bodybuilding career and made the Canadian Nationals in his first year of competition. He has competed at the IFBB North Americans; has won the NPC Brandywine Cup in Pennsylvania; and was runner up at the NPC Europa and the NPC Delaware State Championships.

Mutton has also appeared in the Discovery Channel special on Tribes of the 21st Century, featured as "From Mayor to Bodybuilder"

"John's business travel finds him training in gyms all across Canada and the USA, and this gives Steeltribe an exposure we could only dream about" says Steeltribe Musclegear's Aaron Ash.

Mutton says "Steeltribe Musclegear is the hottest, most cutting edge clothing line on the fitness scene today. I am proud to wear it in gyms across the USA and Canada"

“People with goals succeed because
they know where they’re going.”

A dream becomes a goal when
action is taken toward its achievement.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.

People often fail in achieving their goal because
they look at how far they have to go
instead of looking at how far they have come.
Don't let the fear of failing
stop you from reaching your destination.

The Friend Who Just Stands By
By Anonymous

When troubles come your soul to try,
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing she can do,
The thing is strictly up to you.

For there are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road,
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.

But just to feel you have a friend,
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.

It helps somehow to pull you through,
Although there's nothing she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry,
God Bless the friend who just stands by.

A goal without a plan is just a wish.
In the absence of clearly-defined goals,
we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia
until ultimately we become enslaved by it.

Before you begin a thing,
remind yourself that difficulties and delays
quite impossible to foresee are ahead.
If you could see them clearly,
naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't.
You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal.
Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.

Energy is the essence of life.
Every day you decide how you're going to use it
by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal,
and by maintaining focus.
The key is action.
PERSEVERENCE is essential... no matter what.....

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
It's a very mean and nasty place
and I don't care how tough you are
it will beat you to your knees
and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you're hit.
It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward.
How much you can take and keep moving forward.
That's how winning is done!
Now if you know what you're worth
then go out and get what you're worth.
But ya gotta be willing to take the hits,
and not pointing fingers
saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody!
Cowards do that and that ain't you!
You're better than that!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUBBY BRANDON

There comes a point in your life when
you realize who really matters,
who never did,
and who always will.

“Love is friendship that has caught fire.
It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.
It is loyalty through good and bad times.
It settles for less than perfection
and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have,
and one of the best things you can be.

Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest...
It's about who came, and never left your side...

He died in 1991 at 21 yrs old from injuries sustained in a car accident....

her brother Micheals funeral...
i've known the Creighton family for 41 yrs..
i grew up with them, they were like my 2nd family....
WE MISS YOU BROTHERS...

when sad things like this happen it makes you think ABOUT LIFE ,
and how fleeting and precious it is...
this poem called "THE DASH" captures these thoughts....

"I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone from the beginning…to the end.
He noted that first came the date of his birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all was
the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time that he spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved him know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real
and always try to understand the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
and more often wear a smile,
remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read,
with your life’s actions to rehash…
would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent YOUR dash?"

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Live the life you have imagined.

THE REASON I FELL IN LOVE WITH BODYBUILDING IS....
IT GIVES YOU BACK WHAT YOU GIVE
the more you give the more you get
PERIOD !

THE IRON
"I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts.
Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate.
I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind.
The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found.
There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength.
Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's
impossible to turn back.
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get
told that you're a god or a total bastard.
The Iron will always kick you the real deal.
The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver.
Always there like a beacon in the pitch black.
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend.
It never freaks out on me, never runs.
Friends may come and go.
But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."

It is often easier to become outraged by
injustice half a world away
than by oppression and discrimination half a block from home.

Sometimes, people can be extraordinarily judgmental and closed-minded
to anyone different or special.

One reason if fell in love with BODYBUILDING WAS....
I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THE PRETTY ONE,
I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THE POPULAR ONE...
I FINALLY FOUND THAT I COULD EMBRACE WHO I WAS
as i was always one even as a small girl to enjoy physical things,
i was strong, stronger than most of the boys even at a very young age...
i'd much rather be out building something with my dad outside,
building the barn, fences, digging a ditch in the rain...
i never played with dolls, i wasn't into that froo froo girly stuff,
was always out in the barn, i built muscle quickly...
and so when i found bodybuilding i finally went
" WOW THIS IS WHO I AM, I CAN BE GOOD AT THIS, THIS IS FUN" ....

It is very sad indeed to me that people are still so judgmental,
that they still discriminate,
especially large corporate companies...
but to you i say
"I'M PROUD TO BE A FEMALE BODYBUILDER
and I DO NOT NEED YOUR APPROVAL TO BE ME, BE WHO I AM"

In the end,
it's not going to matter how many breaths you took,
but how many moments took your breath away.

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry,
show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is
going to determine how you're going to live your life.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
There is little difference in people,
but that little difference makes a big difference.
The little difference is attitude.
The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

Finish every day and be done with it.

Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely
and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This day is all that is good and fair.
It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on yesterdays.

Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

COURAGE is not the absence of FEAR,
but feeling the fear and doing it anyways.

The strongest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage.

Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.

Dreams are postcards from our subconscious, inner self to outer self,
right brain trying to cross that moat to the left.
Too often they come back unread: "return to sender, addressee unknown."
That's a shame because it's a whole other world out there
or in here depending on your point of view.

When you dance,
your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor.
It's to enjoy each step along the way.

“Focus on the journey,
not the destination.

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

“Success is not a place at which one arrives
but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey.”

“It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
because there is not effort without error and shortcomings;
but who does actually strive to do the deed;
who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion,
who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.”

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
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 never 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 of won if he'd stuck it out;
Stick to your task, though the pace seems slows-
You may succeed with one more blow.

Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt-
And you may never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things seem worse that YOU MUSN'T QUIT.

Be the best version of you.
Do the best you can.
Being the best version of you may be a hard thing to do
for it takes great courage in this world to act completely as yourself.
In order to become the best version of you,
you must have an attitude that is done with living as everyone else.
In order to best appreciate the experience of really being alive,
you have to be willing to put aside everyone else's voice
and listen to your inner voice instead.

Search your heart to look for what you are passionate about,
to find out what you believe in,
and what you don't believe in,

Goals are more action than talk

While it’s important to have dreams and aspirations,
there’s an even more crucial part to any goal.
Actually taking the necessary steps to achieve your goals takes
ample willpower, dedication, perseverance, and emotional and mental strength.
Anyone can dream and make hypothetical plans for their lives,
but it takes a special kind of person to make dreams a reality,
to make their life what they’ve always wanted it to be

Kelowna WESTERN CANADIAN SHOW in May WILL STILL QUALIFY TOP 3 FOR BC CHAMPIONSHIPS.
CROSSOVERS: it was decided we will be allowing CROSSOVERS within the same year, but not within the same show (ie: if you competed in BIKINI at the Krack Klassic show and for Kelowna show you decided you want to compete in FIGURE you now can)
Starting in 2014 Masters Athletes in Figure & Bikini MUST QUALIFY TOP 3 at a NOVICE LEVEL SHOW in order to compete in the BC CHAMPIONSHIPS. EXEMPT are Masters, Grand Masters Bodybuilders can go straight to BC’s without qualifying

Any BC OVERALL CHAMPION ATHLETE who wants to compete in a different category / crossover you must submit a “BY” to BCABBA and will be handled on an individual basis (ie: if you are an Overall BC Champ in Fitness and you would like to crossover to Figure, or Figure crossover to Physique)
ATHLETES WHO NO SHOW AT THE NIGHT SHOW get a two year ban (legitimate reasons are an exception (ie: Medical Emergency). This extends to B.C. athletes in CBBF National and IFBB (as in World Qualifier & North American & World Championship ) events as well. BCABBA will impose the two year ban on a B.C. athlete
Athlete funding for the year totaled $42,000 for 2013. Funding for National level athletes is available every year. Criteria must be met see www.bcabba.org for more info

Athletes who compete in the Western Canadian Natural Championships are once again able to qualify for the B.C's due to the introduction of the Krack Klassic.
Michelle Krack is setting up a Female Athlete Bursary for female athletes competing within the BCABBA. Contact her for further information.

Once we believe in ourselves we can risk

Knowing that you're lovable helps you to love more.

One way to keep momentum going is
to have constantly greater goals.

Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
You either don't have goal that is important enough to you,
or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward a GOAL !

The most important key to achieving great success is
to decide upon your goal and launch,
get started, take action, move.

When you set goals,
something inside of you starts saying,
"Let's go, let's go,"
and ceilings start to move up.
Unless you have a definite, precise, clearly set goals,
you are not going to realize
the maximum potential that lies within you.
You need a plan to build a house.
To build a life, it is even more important to have a plan or goal.
What you get by achieving your goals
is not as important as what you become

RISK.....
While one person hesitates because he feels inferior,
the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.

Only those who will risk going too far
can possibly find out how far one can go.

If you are not willing to risk the unusual,
you will have to settle for the ordinary.

Life is inherently risky.
There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs,
and that is the risk of doing nothing.

WOMEN EMBRACE WHO YOU ARE & THE BODY YOU HAVE…. I just love love love when I found the below images and this book showing all sorts of different women & their bodies… we should CELEBRATE OUR DIFFERENCES & RESPECT ONE ANOTHER FOR WHO WE ARE, NO ONES BETTER THAN THE OTHER, NO ONES MORE WOMANLY, WE ARE JUST DIFFFERENT, VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE, it’s what makes this world interesting…..

The images below show an incredible variety of women, ranging in weight, height, race and proportion. What they all have in common is that they are professional athletes at their physical peak. The images, taken by photographer Howard Schatz for his 2002 book, Athlete, recently resurfaced, reminding us of the diversity of women's bodies. Schatz interviewed and photographed hundreds of athletes for the book, a project he says was inspired by his interest in human variation and the musculoskeletal system. "I was also interested in passion," "I was interested in what got them to do this. Because to become a champion, you have to put away so many things in life."

During his interviews, Schatz noted very little difference between how the male and female athletes approached their sport. "I found that [the women in the project] were simply athletes," he told HuffPost. "Their commitment, their focus in life, their goals for winning and championship were not different from the men's. [T]here wasn't a feminine focus, a feminine ambition."

The only gender difference apparent to Schatz was how the athletes approached the issue of having children. Some of the women mentioned that they would put off having kids until they were past their physical prime. "Men didn't really have to delay having families, and having a family didn't seem to interfere with their pursuits," Schatz said.

Throughout the project, Schatz says he remained in awe of his subjects. He told HuffPost: "Focus, determination, competition and pursuit of a goal do not have a gender."

“Willingness is essential

CHANGE:
It's not that some people have willpower and some don't.
It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.
If you do what you’ve always done,
you’ll get what you’ve always got.
Change is necessary when we want to pursue a new direction in life.
Embracing change is not easy.
It takes a new outlook on life, determination and perseverance.
The change we expect may not happen immediately because real progress is slow.
"If you would attain to what you are not yet,
you must always be displeased by what you are.
For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained.
Keep MOVING FORWARD, keep advancing."
"Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict
have not learned their history."
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions
drown out your own inner voice.
And most important,
have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

RIP Greg Kovacs

"GOODBYE MY FRIEND"

this article was written by by my friend JOHN MUTTON
published in the Oshawa/Durham newspaper
here's the link: http://www.ocentral.ca/10-2/
below is the copy of the article

I first met Greg Kovacs back in 2010 having known of Greg Kovacs for years. What was not to know, the world's strongest and largest pro bodybuilder who had set records of a 700 lb bench press and graced many magazines including the cover of Ironman.

What captured me about Greg, once I got past his 360 lbs of muscle on a 6'2" frame was his calm demeanor, the true essence of a gentle giant. Greg and I immediately became close friends and I also started to train under his knowledge.

I can still remember having to rotate going to the sushi restaurants in the GTA not to put them out of business with our intake at an all you can eat.

Greg turned pro way back in the early 90's winning the Canadian Bodybuilding Championships and earning his International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFBB) Pro card. Greg went on to finish as high as 13th at the Arnold Classic.

Greg was so huge that he did not really have the aesthetics to go top 5 in the top competitions in the world, yet he had a great following of fans due to his sheer strength, size and his personable demeanor.

The king of the supplement companies Muscletech actually signed Greg to a very good contract back when they 1st got started. This is where I believe the industry killed Greg. Wanting Greg to step on the scales always 400 lbs or more of ripped muscle is not easy on the body. Greg often lamented about the quantity of food he had to eat and how hard it was to breath at that size.

Indeed when Gregs weight slipped into the 340-360 range, his contract was cancelled and the industry turned their back on still the largest and strongest bodybuilder in the world.

Greg went on to write with many publications and "the Kovacian" was a sought after column by anyone wanting to pack on muscle.

I cannot emphasize enough how much of a gentle, kind man Greg was and he absolutely loved his girlfriend Catherine Dupuis beyond imagination.

Greg Kovacs died of heart failure on Nov 25 and took his last breaths in the arms of Catherine at the age of 44.

The bodybuilding community and the industry that turned their back on Greg have lost one of their true ambassadors.

Goodbye my friend, my only reasoning for God to take you so young is that he needs a training partner in heaven.

Yes, I’ve got dreams, of course I’ve got dreams.
Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it,
and yep, they’re still there.
These are great dreams,
but they never even get out of the box.
It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line,

That’s where courage comes in.”

after alot of deliberation
i have decided not to compete in 2014,
it was a very hard decision but i feel a necessary one...
i'm booking my Hernia surgery for January...
and 2014 my son moves into High school,
I did not feel right about being away for him taking this big step,
as the North Americans are Aug 29th in Pittsburgh
and Canadian Nationals are Sept 6th in Montreal...
that would mean i would be away for his first days of grade 8 high school
and was not sitting well with me....
my son and my health are top priorities to me
and even though so is my bodybuilding career and the dream of attaining my pro card,
and being so darn close,
i really feel it is in the best interest of my son and my health to take 2014 off competing....
i do feel sad about this,
but sometime we need to suck it up and do things we know we must....

"Goals are dreams with deadlines."

"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."

“Christmas, is not a date.

“Peace is not a relationship of nations.
It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul.
Peace is not merely the absence of war.
It is also a state of mind.
Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.”

We can only help make our lives and our world more peaceful,
when we ourselves feel peace.
Peace already exists within each of us,
if we only allow ourselves to feel its comfort.
Peace of mind begins when we stop thinking about how far we have to go,
or how hard the road has been,
and just let ourselves feel peace.

Peace of mind gives us the strength to keep trying
and keep walking along the path that we KNOW is right for our lives.

Peace of mind is not a goal I need achieve.
It’s a place inside I never want to leave.
Close my eyes,
I still my thoughts
and then I say I will choose to live in peace today

“Whatever course you decide upon,
there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.
There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right.
To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

“It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
because there is not effort without error and shortcomings;
but who does actually strive to do the deed;
who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion,
who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.”

One reasons 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.

“To conquer frustration,
one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles.”

“Success is a state of mind.
If you want success,
start thinking of yourself as a success.”

FOCUS, ORGANIZATION, BELIEF, SUPPORT & JUST FREAKIN' DOING IT...

picture below is the INCOMPARABLE SHERINA CHANDRA's
Fort St John Show TO DO CHECKLIST she made for herself...
by getting these things done systematically, continuously,
even though her show is in June...
this not only makes it easier financially,
but also impresses upon the subconscious mind that she is DOING THE SHOW...
and also by getting this things paid off she is committing herself financially
which make her committ whole-heartedly to the whole process...
mind, body, soul & pocketbook...

THANK YOU SHERINA FOR THIS,
and thank you for inspiring so many YOU ARE SUCH A BRIGHT LIGHT xo

======================================

my client & Bodybuilding competitor Karen Gillich (another HIGHLY ORGANIZED LADY)
brought in these amazing healthy no sugar added cookies at posing practice the other day...
she came up with this amazing recipe:
THANK YOU KAREN FOR SHARING xo

Karen’s Kopy-Kat Kookies:

¾ cup toasted coconut
½ cup large flake oatmeal

¾ cup quick oats
¾ cup Nutracleanse
2 scoop vanilla protein powder
¾ cup peanut butter
¾ cup mini chocolate chips

½ cup egg whites

Mix all dry ingredients together.
Add peanut butter and chocolate chips;
use hand blender to evenly distribute the peanut butter.
Add egg whites; blend well.
Dough should be sticky and moist;
add more egg white to dough accordingly.
The cookies should hold together and not crumble apart.

Scale out 1.5 oz portions;
roll into a ball; lightly flatten;
place on cookie sheet;
bake at 350’ for 12 to 15 minutes.
Let cool on rack.

Makes about 16 cookies.

Enjoy!

yesterday was on a mission,
went thru all my, Brandon's and Storms clothes, shoes, etc,
to DONATE TO THE VICTIMS of the FIRE in New Westminster Apartment Building 404 Ash street Jan 31, 2014.
We took to St. Barnabas Church, New West...
ironically i was just going over and renewing my house insurance for personal belongings this week...
and when i saw the fire live via internet,
i thought to myself how many people probably don't even have any insurance....

Local organizations are stepping up to the plate to help deal with the aftermath of today's devastating fire.

Dozens of people were left without homes and their possessions were destroyed, after fire tore through a building at 404 Ash St. Within hours of the blaze, residents were contacting local agencies and area schools inquiring how they could help.

The City of New Westminster has been in contact with local organizations that are ready and willing to accept donations for affected residents.
The Salvation Army, located at 325 Sixth St., will accept clothing and small household items (no furnishings), while St. Barnabas Church, located at 1010 Fifth Ave.) will accept clothing, small household items and small furnishings. You can reach the Salvation Army at 604-521-0363 and St. Barnabas Church at 604-526-6646.

The Hospitality Project at Shiloh Sixth Avenue United Church is also accepting donations of clothing and small household items. Located at 1111 Sixth Ave., volunteers will be on hand on Saturday, Feb. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, Feb. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to accept donations. For more information, call the Hospitality Project at 604-522-3443.

"We appreciate the generous outpouring of support and encourage anyone wishing to donate to contact these local service organizations," stated a press release from the city.

Anyone wishing to make a cash donation to assist tenants displaced by the fire can drop by the New Westminster branch of Community Savings Credit Union at 1188 Eighth Ave, where an account has been set up. The credit union is open Tuesday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

What you think about your bring about... good & bad...
what you focus on expands,
you create your reality with your thoughts,
everything you are & have right now is
the residual result of all YOUR PAST THOUGHTS & ACTIONS...
so if you don't like what you are or what is happening in your life right now,
you can start changing it instantly by changing your thougths,
but you must continue to keep those thoughts changed and fixed on what you want.....

As you perceive something, you give birth to a thought,
and this thought now thinks.
Now that it exists, now that it has been conjured,
now that it has been focused, now it vibrates.
Now, by Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are vibrationally same
will come to it. So it begins its expansion immediately....

It's not your work to make anything happen.
It's your work to dream it and let it happen.
Law of Attractionwill make it happen.
In your joy, you create something,
and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it,
and the Universe must find a way to bring it about.

And also will be at the IFBB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR WOMENS October 17-20, 2014 IN MONTREAL
TEAMS must be a male bodybuilders and a female either figure or physique (no female bodybuilders)

BCABBA WOULD LIKE ANY MALE FEMALE TEAM to submit a proposal to BCABBA
Subject line: “MIXED PAIRS TEAM PROPOSAL”
Please submit: past competitions, placings & most current show pictures to: bcabbainfo@hotmail.com

Here is all the information provided directly from the IFBB Rules:

Rule 40 - Mixed-Pairs Competition
40.1 Mixed-Pairs Competition:
Where mixed-pairs competition is held, the judging will follow the same procedures
as is used for the other categories of competition, except for the following:
1. If there are more than 15 mixed-pairs, an Elimination Round will be held for the
purpose of reducing the number to 15, said Elimination Round which will be
conducted as per Rules 23 - 25.
2. The Prejudging (Round 1) will be conducted as per Rules 26- 28, except that the
maximum number of mixed-pairs that may be compared at any one time will not
exceed three.
3. Mixed-pairs perform the same 5 compulsory poses as in women’s bodybuilding.
4. The top 6 placings at the end of the Prejudging will qualify for the Finals.
5. The Finals will be conducted as per Rules 30 - 35. The top 6 finalists will perform
compulsory poses and posedown. This will be followed by their free posing routine,
the length of which will be up to a maximum of 90 seconds.
6. The award ceremony for the mixed-pairs will be conducted as per Rule 36.
7. The same judging forms that are used to judge the other categories of competition
will be used to judge mixed-pairs.

Rule 41 - Assessing Mixed-Pairs Physiques
41.1 The judge will assess each mixed-pair as an entity. Those whose physiques
match, harmonize, and complement each other will receive higher places than
mixed-pairs whose physiques are markedly dissimilar and unbalanced, as would be
the case of a tall ectomorphic man and a short mesomorphic woman, or vice versa.
This factor will continue to be of importance in the second round as well. When
similar poses and limb movements are used by the two partners, as in the
compulsory poses, higher places will be awarded for greater accuracy in achieving
identical lines. The five mixed-pairs poses are as follows:
(a) Front Double Biceps
(b) Side Chest
(c) Back Double Biceps
(d) Side Triceps
(e) Abdominals and Thighs
55
41.2 Mixed-Pair’s Posing Attire:
The rules for posing attire for men and women will also apply for the mixed-pairs,
however, preference will be given by the judge for matching and complementary
trunks and bikinis which enhance the mixed-pair’s physiques and their appearance
as a combined unit. Both members of each mixed-pair shall wear the same number
pinned to the left side of the trunks or bikini.
41.3 In the Finals, mixed-pairs will be assessed both individually and as a unit with
particular attention being given to how well their individual physiques complement
each other and how well they move in unison.

If you find yourself with negative thoughts and resentful feelings towards another person or situation consuming your mind and mood consider letting it go completely. The person who suffers the most from this negative energy is you. You will attract more negative situations your way. Being mad and resentful towards a person or situation only holds you back, not them or anything else, just you. Choose to let it go, give it up, drop it like a hot piece of coal. Take a few deep breaths and accept the situation. Focus on things and people you are grateful for, pour greatness into another person, do something you love with the feelings of love and happiness in your heart. Let go and live with love, choose abundance.
