"If I had to select one quality,
one personal characteristic
that I regard as being most highly correlated with success,
whatever the field,
I would pick the trait of persistence.
Determination.
The will to endure to the end,
to get knocked down seventy times
and get up off the floor saying.
"Here comes number seventy-one!"
"Success is not final,
failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts."

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.
We are the creative force of our life,
and through our own decisions
rather than our conditions,
if we carefully learn to do certain things,
we can accomplish those goals.
TEAM Fit Body's Brittany McConnell Before & After
By TEAM Fit Body Client: Lauralee Cheng...
One year ago today, I started training with Dawn Alison.
Now, I must say that training with her was definitely not what I expected.
I thought I had hired a personal trainer
to help me prepare for a bodybuilding show and that’s it.
I didn’t think that I had found a coach and friend that was there to educate me,
encourage me, and at times, act as my therapist.
I guess that not having your expectations met can act in your favour.
Over the past year, I’ve had the courage to walk/prance/dance around in a teeny tiny bikini
at two bodybuilding shows,
discovered that I have amazing willpower and determination (never knew I had that!),
and learned how to be comfortable in my own skin.
None of this has anything to do with lifting weights.
Dawn isn’t the type of coach that ever told me I could do it.
She always told me I could do more and do better.
Because of her, I never have the feeling that there’s something I can’t do.
I can do it. Of course I can!
And, if for some reason I think that I can’t,
I’m sure Dawn has a million reasons that I can.
Heck, look at everything she does all while working the hardest job in the world, raising a son!
So, if you’re looking for a personal trainer, they’re a dime a dozen.
Go find someone to tell you what weights to lift and what food to eat.
But, if you’re looking for someone to be by your side,
kick you in the butt if you need it, give you a hug if you need it,
teach you to manage your money,
send you an encouraging text message
that makes you tear up while you’re doing cardio early in the morning preparing for a show,
or remind you what’s important in life,
look for Dawn.
Don’t worry; she’s easy to find in a crowd.
Just open your eyes and open your ears.

“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?”

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not
defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we
can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing
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.

Nobody can protect you from that,

You are here to risk your heart.
You are here to be swallowed up.
And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed,

Unless there is movement, restlessness, turmoil,

Chaos is movement for movement's sake.
True action does not displace;

A change of place is mere transportation;

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.

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.
