“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
“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.”

“Never confuse a single defeat
with a final defeat.”
“Courage is not having the strength to go on;
it is going on when you don't have the strength.”
“FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again....
even though every time you've tried before you've lost.”
“Character consists of what you do on the third, fourth AND TENTH tries.”
“If you're going through hell, keep going”
“Never give in
never, never, never, never,
in nothing great or small,
large or petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force;
never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
“Never, never, never give up.”

Here’s to the weak ones.
The outcasts.
The broken.
The peacemakers.
The ragamuffin royalty who will inherit a new world.
The ones who see God through open eyes and open hearts.
They don’t long for power.
And they have no respect for status.
You can insult them, spread lies about them,
disbelieve, vilify or persecute them.
About the only thing you can’t do is dishearten them.
Because God is changing them, they change things.
They comfort.
They show mercy.
They heal.
They mourn with those who mourn.
They love.
They are filled to overflowing with goodness.
And while some may see them as the weak ones,
I say they are blessed.

“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.”
“To conquer frustration,
one must remain intensely focused on the outcome,
not the obstacles.”
“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.
That surrender,
even the smallest act of giving up,
stays with me.
So when I feel like quitting,
I ask myself,
which would I rather live with?”

“Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus.
Our bodies are our gardens
to the which our wills are gardeners.”
“Failure only happens when
you lose your willpower to continue trying...
If we let the obstacles get the best of us
then it was our choice to fail, not fate.”
“Mastery of impulse is all about self-discipline and choice.
The mind is a powerful tool
with which we have the ability to be in control of ourselves.”

“If we don't change,
we don't grow.
If we don't grow,
we aren't really living.”
“When we resist change, it’s called suffering.
But when we can completely let go
and not struggle against it,
when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation
and relax into it’s dynamic quality,
that’s called enlightenment”
“Consciousness is only possible through change;
change is only possible through movement.”
“All is flux,
nothing stays still”

“It's not hard to decide what you want your life to be about.
What's hard, is figuring out what you're willing to give up
in order to do the things you really care about.”
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
“Every moment is a moment of decision,
and every moment turns us inexorably in the direction of the rest of our lives.”

Believe in yourself.
Under-confidence leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy that you are not good enough.
“You can only kill disappointment with a new try.”
I tried and failed.
I tried again and again and succeeded.
“Don't be discouraged if people don't see your vision, your harvest.
All they see from their perspective is that you're watering a whole lot of dirt.
They don't SEE what seeds you've been planting with blood, sweat, tears and lack of sleep.
Make sure you don't abandon or neglect it because "they" don't see it.
You have to KNOW and believe for yourself.
They don't see the roots and what's budding under the dirt.
But it's okay, because it's NOT meant for them to see it.
While you wait, MASTER it.
You continue to do YOUR work and have unwavering faith!
Remember why you started planting in the first place.
Your harvest WILL come!”

“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.”

Picture is me when I placed 2nd at the BC’s in 1999 as a Middleweight Bodybuilder.
I’ve have been competing in Bodybuilding since 1992.
But I started training to compete in Bodybuilding in 1985......
A Serious Commitment is a long-term obligation you must continually work toward and ideally see through to completion.
It isn’t something you try out and then easily abandon.
It is something you establish, embody, and embrace for the long haul.
“Those who stay will be champions.”
