Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved
Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.

Courageous risks are life-giving, they help you grow, make you brave,
and better than you think you are.
Be daring, be different, be impractical,
be anything that will assert integrity of purpose
and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers,
the creatures of the commonplace,
the slaves of the ordinary

Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve.
Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle.
It's a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment.
Great things are not done by impulse,
but by a series of small things brought together

all dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them
Because a fellow has failed once or twice, or a dozen times,
you don't want to set him down as a failure
till he's dead or loses his courage--and that's the same thing.

The drops of rain make a hole in the stone not by violence but by oft falling
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.
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.

"It matters not what a person is born, but who they choose to be."
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself:
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead,
tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.
I have just one day, today,
and I'm going to be happy in it.

Your belief determines your action and your action determines your results,
but first you have to believe.
If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.

Self-respect is the root of discipline:
The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
Everyone must choose one of two pains:
The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

We imagine that we want to escape our selfish and commonplace existence,
but we cling desperately to our chains.
WHY ???????????????????
No one is in control of your happiness but you;
therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life
that you want to change.

then begin by realizing that you are the author
and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page."
as hard as it is for me to leave my comfort zone

Success or failure is caused more by the mental attitude
even than by mental capacities.
Attitude precedes service.
Your positive mental attitude is the basis for the way you act and react to people.
'You become what you think about” is the foundation of your actions and reactions.
What are your thoughts?
Positive all the time?
How are you guiding them?
Happiness is an attitude.
We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.
The amount of work is the same.

Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thoughts, and habits can be acquired.
An action repeated becomes an attitude realized.
Fear less, hope more;
eat less, chew more;
whine less, breathe more;
talk less, say more;
hate less, love more;
and all good things are yours.

I see myself living a life where I am not bound by the opinions others have of me,
one where I no longer concern myself with the judgments of others,
one in which I believe in myself and my talents, skills and capabilities.
I imagine, and therefore bring about,
a life where I do not need to justify my existence,
where I am free to be who I really am.
sometime change is hard
but change is also inevitable
we can roll with it
we can jump ship and be carried away with the current
or we can SWIM LIKE ****IN HELL IN ANOTHER DIRECTION
the bottom line is we haveta do whatz right for US
we only get 1 life i think
so we need to live it how we see fit
and make decisions based on our health & happiness
because at the end of the day....
and the end of your life
only YOU are responsible for YOUR HAPPINESS
and if you are living your life being incongruent to who you are & what you believe
you are doin yourself a disservice
BE WHO YOU ARE
AND SAY WHAT YOU MEAN
CUZ THOSE WHO MIND DON'T MATTER
AND THOSE WHO MATTER DON'T MIND
TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

Decisions are a way of defining ourselves.
There comes a time in life when there is nothing else to do but go your own way.
Where you are headed there are no trails, no paths, just your own instincts.
Frustration can become like a chain...
and it can strangle your efforts for success...
or you can get the key out and open the lock.
Oh the key?
The key of Decision that unchains the future
Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions...

Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go;
it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow
And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took

By your own soul, learn to live
And if men thwart you take no heed.
If men hate you have no care.
Sing your song, dream your dream,
Hope your hope and pray your prayer

It's our goal in life to find it and to keep it lit.

Hi Dawn!
I am 10 weeks out from my competition....figure. Or maybe bikini depending on how I look at about week 4. My question to you is would doing abs 6 or 7 days a week be too much? I do ab movements for 5 minutes at a time...without weights. I seem to have a shallow look with my abs and I'm hoping maybe doing abs for 5 minutes 6 or 7 days would at least help define them a bit more.
I obviously won't build muscle as I'm dieting but I'd like more ab definition come showtime. Currently I'm doing them 3 days a week for 5 minutes but I thought maybe a bit more wouldn't hurt?
What do you think?

the definition in your abs comes from being lean (DIETING CORRECTLY MAINLY & CARDIO TO GET YOU LEAN)
are you doing your own prep for this show?
either post a pic or PM it to me or you can email (fitbody@telus.net) if you prefer let me see where your at

Whatever course you have chosen for yourself,
it will not be a chore but an adventure
if you bring to it a sense of the glory of striving,
if your sights are set far above the merely secure and mediocre
The ultimate measure of a man is not
where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.

You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions.
Goal setting is often a matter of balancing timing against available resources.
Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions
There is no security on this Earth;
there is only opportunity.

I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices,
and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought
throughout our lifetime
No matter what, we always have the power to choose
hope over despair,
engagement over apathy,
kindness over indifference,
enthusiasm over lethargy,
love over hate.
This is our true freedom.
Whatever life may throw at us,
we have the freedom and ability to choose our attitude.
And I believe it is in those moments of choice that we manifest our destiny.

Self-discipline is an act of cultivation.
It require you to connect today's actions to tomorrow's results.
There's a season for sowing a season for reaping.
Self-discipline helps you know which is which
Commit yourself to a dream . . .
Nobody who tries to do something great but fails is a total failure.
Why?
Because he can always rest assured that he succeeded in life's most important battle
he defeated the fear of trying.
