Every dream needs a mind that moves with faith, courage, consistent actions and patience.
If you want to drive your passion to the territory of greatness,
you must separate yourself from people that don’t respect the power of passion.
Some people would tell you that it’s impossible for you to become successful in your line of passion.
But don’t be distracted by them because it is only you that need to believe in your dream in order for it to manifest.
You absolutely don’t need the world to cosign your passion for you.
The people that understand the power of following your true passion in life would never tell you that your dream is impossible to attain.
Rather, they would show you some strategic ways to take your passion to greater heights.
There is no better feeling than shinning the light of manifestation on your true passion in life.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability you have.
Success means doing the best we can with what we have.
Success is the doing,

Success is a personal standard,

Every achieved success is an outcome of some positive thoughts properly put into consistent actions.
The beginning of every success lies in one’s mind.
But continuous actions bring it to the light of reality.
There is always a price paid for every achievement made on earth.
So therefore,
achievement comes from the willingness
and ability to pay the price that comes with the dream.

demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve.
This level of resolve can move mountains,

it is still the common denominator separating those who

DETERMINATION
Dec 22, 2014
pt of the day
In the heart of every winner lies
the spirit of strong determination and dedication.
It is quite obvious that success has never been an overnight journey.
Apparently, this is why success has always been a stranger to a mind that
continuously refuses to embrace the habit of staying fully determined and dedicated to its daily endeavors.
There is no other way around succeeding in life than
to sacrifice your time and energy on every single one of the goals that you set for your dreams.
It might be very hard to stay consistent with your actions,
but unfortunately, life would even be a lot harder if you decided to turn your back on your goals.
The only assured way out of a challenging situation is to activate your faith and courageously go all the way through it.
You were brought on earth to experience a victorious life,
and the worst thing that you could ever do to yourself is to allow negative thoughts to convince you to believe otherwise.
If your thoughts are not against your positive desires, nothing else on earth will succeed in stopping you from succeeding in life.
Success has never disappointed any mind that always pushes itself day in and day out with a great level of courage, confidence and faith,
while focusing on the golden prize that lies ahead.

the same mental attitude that doubted its possibility in the first place.
To achieve greatness,
one has to think great, act great,
hope to be great and be patient for however long the journey takes.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by
every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

THE MAN IN THE ARENA
It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs, who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Pretty sure he was on the cover of Powerlifting USA in the early 80's.Pretty impressive bench raw.Quote:

Achievers don’t just dream,
they courageously take plenty of actions on their dreams to ensure that they come into manifestation.
There has never been any man in the history of mankind that achieved something tangible without taking consistent actions.
Almost every single thing that is worth keeping takes time.
This is why we have to be willing and able to take actions,
and at the same time be willing to have patience.
I feel that the most important step in any major accomplishment is
setting a specific goal.
This enables you to keep your mind focused on your goal
and off the many obstacles that will arise when you’re striving to do your best.

DETERMINATION:
Nothing on earth can stop us from proclaiming our destiny in life,
unless we decide to fall into the habit of seeing so many difficulties in things,
instead of the possibilities in things.
Nothing steals one’s dream faster than one’s constant self-doubts.
No motivation can ever survive in the long-term,
if one refuses to free his or her mind from the fears of the struggles,
challenges and obstacles that lie ahead.
The beginning of strong determination starts from one’s consistent positive thoughts.
An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything
and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, a new year,
a new start to become the best you ever...
The reason most people never reach their goals is
that they don’t define them,
or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable.
Winners can tell you where they are going,
what they plan to do along the way,
and who will be sharing the adventure with them.
Goal setting is very important in life,
because without goals we would forever live in the land of imagination
with no chance of experiencing the taste of true reality.
So many things in life that are yet to be achieved are because
people haven’t bothered to set goals on them and follow their goals to the finish line.
The beginning of any success starts from setting clear effective goals.
Goals can help you approach life in a positive direction,
because so many people are full of desires,
but don’t really know how to go about fulfilling their desires.
Life without goals is truly a life without a specific direction.
Most of the great things that were achieved on earth were achieved by people who
had specific goals for themselves.

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing that we call ‘failure’

For anything worth having one must pay the price;
and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice

but the gold of real service.
He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little;
he who would achieve much must sacrifice much;
he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.

Trials, temptations, disappointments
all these are helps instead of hindrances,
if one uses them rightly.
They not only test the fiber of character but strengthen it.
Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy.
Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit
makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
There is no better than adversity.
Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss,
contains its own seed,
its own lesson
on how to improve your performance the next time.
Challenges are what make life interesting;
overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood.
Heat is required to forge anything.
Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart.

Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.
It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions.
And the actions which speak louder than the words.
It is making the time when there is none.
Coming through time after time after time,

Commitment is the stuff character is made of;
the power to change the face of things.

“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,”
and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come,
and when one sits alone with you at your board,
remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”
“And a woman spoke, saying, "Tell us of Pain."
And he said: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life,
your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart,
even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician,
and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard,
is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings,
though it burn your lips,
has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.”

He is the one who never tries anything.

Hi Dawn. I'm asking this question on behalf of a female friend. She is a first time user of Var. I'll just paste what she wrote on another board:
"I recently started a cycle with Anavar (10 mg to start then reduced to 5mg after 3 weeks) and had quite dramatic water retention. I have a very clean diet, prepare my own food, do not drink and only dine out occasionally so no excess sodium. I train hard on a 4 day split and do 2 HIIT sessions a week. Consume 4 litres of water/day on average. I stopped the Var after 5 weeks as I was so uncomfortable. 8 weeks later I've decided to try again (starting with 2.5 mg..I'm not kidding lol). After 8 days I'm experiencing the same bloating. Anyone have experience with estrogen inhibitors in regards to water retention? I am 53 years old (a very fit 53) and only menstruate about 4 times a year now. I have never experienced any of the usual menopause symptoms. Thanks for any help."
