Q & A with Dawn Alison

“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 and comes short again and again;
because there is not effort without error and shortcomings;
but who does actually strive to do the deed;
who knows the great enthusiasm,
the great devotion,
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 he fails while daring greatly.
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Every morning is a fresh beginning.
Every day is the world made new.
Today is a new day. T
oday is my world made new.
I have lived all my life up to this moment,
to come to this day.
This moment--this day--is as good as any moment in all eternity.
I shall make of this day--each moment of this day--a heaven on earth.
This is my day of opportunity

Every choice carries a consequence.
For better or worse,
each choice is the unavoidable consequence of its predecessor.
There are not exceptions.
If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment,
why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DAY YOUR LIFE GREAT
OR YOU CAN MAKE IT SUCK
ITS TOTALLY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
YOU CANNOT BLAME ANYONE ELSE FOR YOUR CHOICES
SO IF THERES SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH
THEY YOU AND ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE IT
EVEN IF ITS CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS IT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO COACH IFBB PRO GREG KOVACS




"A failure establishes only this,
that our determination to succeed was not strong enough."


"The longer I live,
the more I am certain that the great difference
between the great and the insignificant, is energy
invincible determination
a purpose once fixed,
and then death or victory."

The race is not always to the swift,
but to those who keep on running.

The drops of rain make a hole in the stone
not by violence but by oft falling.

Don’t let your victories go to your head,
or your failures go to your heart.

Happy are those who dream dreams
and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.

“If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone.”

“If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right,
you’ll probably never do much of anything.”

“Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”

“Success is not final,
failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.”

6 days till Christmas
and HOW LONG TILL YOU START LIVING THE LIFE YOU WANT
& HAVING THE BODY YOU WANT?

Every giant leap forward is in reality a series of baby steps.
For every major breakthrough you see in your performance,
don’t forget all the hundreds of little things that had to happen,
day after day, for that to happen.
Habits are the basis of improvement,
but they don’t happen overnight.
The easiest – and most difficult – way to improve your life is to make or break a habit.
It’s easy because habits are built one single action at a time.
It’s difficult because you need to be consistent.
It’s much more of a mental game than a physical challenge.
If you don’t see progress right away, don’t be discouraged.
In fact,
some of the habits you have right now have been a lifetime in the making and repeating.
They can be as stubborn as a mule.
It might take some coaxing to get them to move.

Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man,
but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.”

DON'T BE A COULDA WOULDA BUT DIDN'T NEVER HAS BEEN
START NOW & STAY FRIGGIN' CONSISTENT

Take action !
You can dream and you can wonder,
but nothing happens without taking action consistently.
You don’t have to be perfect
. Learn as much as you need to know the next step and take action!

Take responsibility

You are responsible for your life.
There is no one to blame.
If you’re not happy with your life or with your circumstances,
you are the only one that can take responsibility and start changing it.
What are you waiting for?
