Q & A with Dawn Alison

“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.

just do it

"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."

“All that we are
is the result of what we have thought.”

“The successful warrior is the average man,
with laser-like focus.”

"I don’t care how much power, brilliance or energy you have,
if you don’t harness it and focus it on a specific target,
and hold it there you’re never going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants."

“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.

just 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,
for if dreams die,
life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
