“I can accept failure,
everyone fails at something.
But I can’t accept not trying.”
“You’re braver than you believe,
and stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.”
“It doesn’t matter where you are,
you are nowhere compared to where you can go.”
“A year from now you will wish you had started today.”
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning,
but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
“20 years from now
you will be disappointed by the things you didn’t do
than by the one’s you did.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover.”

Discipline is the bridge
between goals and accomplishment.
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.
Set your goals high
and don't stop till you get there
just do it

“Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”
“It is our choices,
that show us what we truly are,
far more than our abilities.”
Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.
“We are our choices.”

“Reach high,
for stars lie hidden in your soul.
Dream deep,
for every dream precedes the goal.”
“What’s the purpose of living
if you don’t go after your dreams?”
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone
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.
just do it

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming,
we lose the excitement of possibilities.
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
To accomplish great things,
we must not only act,
but also dream;
not only plan,
but also believe.
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire
and begin at once,
whether you are ready or not,
to put this plan into action.
A goal is a dream with a deadline.
just do it

Man is a goal seeking animal.
His life only has meaning if
he is reaching out and striving for his goals.
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.
so get one or some
and just do it

Testimonial for Dawn Alison of Fit Body Training & Gear
by Rachel Suttill
In the spring of 2012, my youngest daughter was 7 months old. I had found myself in a major “mommy-rut.” All my time and attention was focused on my family and I was feeling overwhelmed by raising two young girls away from any family or support system (we had just moved to Langley from Edmonton a year prior). I wanted and needed a goal that would help me feel a bit more like me again. I had this crazy idea that I wanted to compete. In fact, I had wanted to compete for years but always found an excuse. I had no idea how to get myself there.
I did some research and found Dawn Alison online. I watched (i.e. became slightly obsessed with) her Team Fitbody videos and knew she was the right trainer for me. I started working with her in May of 2012. She immediately put me on a program suited to my goals (not a one-size-fits-all approach), and I quickly began seeing results. We began a 16 week competition prep in July. Those 16 weeks were a complete whirlwind. It was amazing watching Dawn manipulate my diet to get the results she was after. I felt like my own little science experiment. She also helped to arrange and manage every little detail from suit fittings to competition hair and makeup to carb-restricted client meltdowns!
I could not have gotten on the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic stage without her. My competition day experience was the best. I had so much fun and it was great to hear Dawn hooting and hollering from the audience.
As for my goal of feeling a bit more like me again? This was MUCH better and MUCH more than that.
Prior to this, I feel like I had fallen into living a life of submission and just letting things happen around me. I never used to be that way. Through this process, I regained discipline and control in my life. I am viewing the world with fewer limits and more possibilities. Best of all, I have re-established confidence in my ability to take on any challenge life throws at me and see it through to the end. This journey has been about so much more than a physical transformation. The physical transformation was great, but it is almost a secondary benefit to the mental transformation.
Dawn is an extraordinary coach. She is incredibly responsive and has the unique ability to tune into what her clients need. She can motivate you, calm you, or kick your butt depending on what you need! The care and attention she gives to each client truly is incredible. Put your trust in her and she will get you where you want to go. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
