“Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give...
it's about how many you can take,
and still keep moving forward.”

Life is not easy for any of us.
But what of that?
We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.
We must believe that we are gifted for something
and that this thing must be attained.
If your determination is fixed,
I do not counsel you to despair.
Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.
Great works are performed not by strength,
but perseverance.

We are limited, not by our abilities,
but by our vision.
As long as you are seeing ‘what is’,
you cannot grow beyond it.
Get your thoughts, words and eyes off the way ‘it is’,
and put them solely on the way you want things to be.
Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind’s eye
and you will be drawn toward it.

Visualization is daydreaming with a purpose.
Undoubtedly, we become what we envisage.
You've got to see what it is you want to achieve
before you can pursue it.

In order to make a visualization a reality in the world of form,
you must be willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind’s eye
and you will be drawn toward it.
This is THE LAW OF ATTRACTION....
Every thought has a frequency.
Thoughts send out a magnetic energy.
Thought = creation.
If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation.
You attract your dominant thoughts.
Choose your thoughts carefully ..
you are a masterpiece of your life...
SEE IT, BELIEVE IT, BE IT....
JUST DO IT !

“Most PEOPLE serve THEIR ideals by fits and starts.
The person who makes a success of living is
the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly.
That is dedication.”

“If you believe in yourself
and have dedication and pride
and never quit,
you’ll be a winner.
The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.”

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability,
but comes through continuous struggle.

Progress is impossible without change,
and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

yesterday was on a mission,
went thru all my, Brandon's and Storms clothes, shoes, etc,
to DONATE TO THE VICTIMS of the FIRE in New Westminster Apartment Building 404 Ash street Jan 31, 2014.
We took to St. Barnabas Church, New West...
ironically i was just going over and renewing my house insurance for personal belongings this week...
and when i saw the fire live via internet,
i thought to myself how many people probably don't even have any insurance....

Local organizations are stepping up to the plate to help deal with the aftermath of today's devastating fire.

Dozens of people were left without homes and their possessions were destroyed, after fire tore through a building at 404 Ash St. Within hours of the blaze, residents were contacting local agencies and area schools inquiring how they could help.

The City of New Westminster has been in contact with local organizations that are ready and willing to accept donations for affected residents.
The Salvation Army, located at 325 Sixth St., will accept clothing and small household items (no furnishings), while St. Barnabas Church, located at 1010 Fifth Ave.) will accept clothing, small household items and small furnishings. You can reach the Salvation Army at 604-521-0363 and St. Barnabas Church at 604-526-6646.

The Hospitality Project at Shiloh Sixth Avenue United Church is also accepting donations of clothing and small household items. Located at 1111 Sixth Ave., volunteers will be on hand on Saturday, Feb. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, Feb. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to accept donations. For more information, call the Hospitality Project at 604-522-3443.

"We appreciate the generous outpouring of support and encourage anyone wishing to donate to contact these local service organizations," stated a press release from the city.

Anyone wishing to make a cash donation to assist tenants displaced by the fire can drop by the New Westminster branch of Community Savings Credit Union at 1188 Eighth Ave, where an account has been set up. The credit union is open Tuesday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

What you think about your bring about... good & bad...
what you focus on expands,
you create your reality with your thoughts,
everything you are & have right now is
the residual result of all YOUR PAST THOUGHTS & ACTIONS...
so if you don't like what you are or what is happening in your life right now,
you can start changing it instantly by changing your thougths,
but you must continue to keep those thoughts changed and fixed on what you want.....

As you perceive something, you give birth to a thought,
and this thought now thinks.
Now that it exists, now that it has been conjured,
now that it has been focused, now it vibrates.
Now, by Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are vibrationally same
will come to it. So it begins its expansion immediately....

It's not your work to make anything happen.
It's your work to dream it and let it happen.
Law of Attractionwill make it happen.
In your joy, you create something,
and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it,
and the Universe must find a way to bring it about.

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud,
It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs,
Love does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth,
It always protects,
Always trusts,
Always hopes,
Always preserves.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7


Love is:
The will to extend one’s self
For the purpose of
Nuturing one’s own
Or anothers

ATTENTION BCABBA MEMBERS IMPORTANT & EXCITING NEWS….

There’s is going to be Mixed Pairs at the upcoming WORLD QUALIFIER August 9th, 2014 in MANITOBA & CBBF BODYBULDING NATIONALS in MONTREAL Sept 6th, 2014
And also will be at the IFBB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR WOMENS October 17-20, 2014 IN MONTREAL
TEAMS must be a male bodybuilders and a female either figure or physique (no female bodybuilders)

BCABBA WOULD LIKE ANY MALE FEMALE TEAM to submit a proposal to BCABBA
Subject line: “MIXED PAIRS TEAM PROPOSAL”
Please submit: past competitions, placings & most current show pictures to: bcabbainfo@hotmail.com

Here is all the information provided directly from the IFBB Rules:

Rule 40 - Mixed-Pairs Competition
40.1 Mixed-Pairs Competition:
Where mixed-pairs competition is held, the judging will follow the same procedures
as is used for the other categories of competition, except for the following:
1. If there are more than 15 mixed-pairs, an Elimination Round will be held for the
purpose of reducing the number to 15, said Elimination Round which will be
conducted as per Rules 23 - 25.
2. The Prejudging (Round 1) will be conducted as per Rules 26- 28, except that the
maximum number of mixed-pairs that may be compared at any one time will not
exceed three.
3. Mixed-pairs perform the same 5 compulsory poses as in women’s bodybuilding.
4. The top 6 placings at the end of the Prejudging will qualify for the Finals.
5. The Finals will be conducted as per Rules 30 - 35. The top 6 finalists will perform
compulsory poses and posedown. This will be followed by their free posing routine,
the length of which will be up to a maximum of 90 seconds.
6. The award ceremony for the mixed-pairs will be conducted as per Rule 36.
7. The same judging forms that are used to judge the other categories of competition
will be used to judge mixed-pairs.

Rule 41 - Assessing Mixed-Pairs Physiques
41.1 The judge will assess each mixed-pair as an entity. Those whose physiques
match, harmonize, and complement each other will receive higher places than
mixed-pairs whose physiques are markedly dissimilar and unbalanced, as would be
the case of a tall ectomorphic man and a short mesomorphic woman, or vice versa.
This factor will continue to be of importance in the second round as well. When
similar poses and limb movements are used by the two partners, as in the
compulsory poses, higher places will be awarded for greater accuracy in achieving
identical lines. The five mixed-pairs poses are as follows:
(a) Front Double Biceps
(b) Side Chest
(c) Back Double Biceps
(d) Side Triceps
(e) Abdominals and Thighs
55
41.2 Mixed-Pair’s Posing Attire:
The rules for posing attire for men and women will also apply for the mixed-pairs,
however, preference will be given by the judge for matching and complementary
trunks and bikinis which enhance the mixed-pair’s physiques and their appearance
as a combined unit. Both members of each mixed-pair shall wear the same number
pinned to the left side of the trunks or bikini.
41.3 In the Finals, mixed-pairs will be assessed both individually and as a unit with
particular attention being given to how well their individual physiques complement
each other and how well they move in unison.

If you find yourself with negative thoughts and resentful feelings towards another person or situation consuming your mind and mood consider letting it go completely. The person who suffers the most from this negative energy is you. You will attract more negative situations your way. Being mad and resentful towards a person or situation only holds you back, not them or anything else, just you. Choose to let it go, give it up, drop it like a hot piece of coal. Take a few deep breaths and accept the situation. Focus on things and people you are grateful for, pour greatness into another person, do something you love with the feelings of love and happiness in your heart. Let go and live with love, choose abundance.

COURAGE:
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear,
but the triumph over it.
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid,
but he who conquers that fear

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

COMPASSION:
The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized.
Anyone can criticize.
It takes a true believer to be compassionate.
No greater burden can be borne by an individual than
to know no one cares or understands.
Compassion is more important than intellect
in calling forth the love that the work of peace needs,
and intuition can often be a far more powerful searchlight than cold reason.

Love is a force more formidable than any other.
It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured,
yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment,
and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream.
The oak sleeps in the acorn,
the bird waits in the egg,
and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

YOU CREATE YOUR REALITY

your thought shape your future

Hunger
My favorite feeling is perhaps the empty hollowness of hunger.
That statement, in itself, is a declaration of the privileged life I’ve led;
it is borderline obscene to boast of such a thing in a world
where 842 million people don’t have enough to eat.
Nevertheless, being lucky enough to have been raised in America
and just competent enough to hold down a job,
I find myself in the enviable position of needing to invoke “discipline”
in order to experience this sensation.
All that aside, I love feeling hungry, both physically and metaphorically.
Physically, being hungry brings something primal out in me;
there is an edge that awakens which feels dormant when I’ve eaten.
I’m sharper, more alive somehow.

When I eat or drink too much, I feel it in my flesh;
I feel the lethargy that comes with food everywhere.
I feel it on my back, I feel it in my limbs, I feel it in my eyes
everything is weighed down and blurred.
When I am overweight,
I find I can go all day without eating and hardly give it a thought.
When I’m training and riding well and my weight is down,
I can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner and never feel sated.
That is the feeling of hunger to which I refer;
not a desire to starve,
but a physical condition where sustenance feels impossible to achieve.
This is a beautiful state where everything feels alive
and there is a sharpness and precision in every motion.

There is also a metaphorical hunger,
which I don’t think we can achieve without the physical sort.
The metaphorical sort is borne of desire and need.
This is what drives us to achieve more than we normally would.
Sean Kelly talks of this hunger in his book by the same name;
in his opening chapter,
he says he would rather fall into the any of the greenhouses below
the sweeping hairpins along the descent from the Poggio into Sanremo
than face defeat by Moreno Argentin.
That is hunger in the metaphorical sense.

I am a better person when I feel hunger;
I have drive, I have humility, I have courage.
When hunger stirs,
we come alive with an urgency we don’t otherwise find.
Without it, there is no compulsion to act, to fight, or to endure

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.”

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”

The price of success is hard work,
dedication to the job at hand,
and the determination that whether we win or lose,
we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

If your determination is fixed,
I do not counsel you to despair.
Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.
Great works are performed not by strength,
but perseverance.
