“Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you.
Don't sweat tomorrow - you haven't even met.
Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift - today.”
“When you arise in the morning,
think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive
—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—
then make that day count!”
“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings,
turn routine jobs into joy,
and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”

“No matter who you are,
no matter what you did,
no matter where you've come from,
you can always change,
become a better version of yourself.”
“You may encounter many defeats,
but you must not be defeated.
In fact,
it may be necessary to encounter the defeats,
so you can know who you are,
what you can rise from,
how you can still come out of it.”
It’s not how hard you can hit,
but how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward.

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.

There's no better teacher than adversity.
Every defeat, every loss,
contains its own seed,

The biggest lesson all of us have to learn is
unconditional love,

but ourselves as well

Our ability to commit will determine our ability to
succeed, prevail and overcome.
Most get started,
but very few finish.
“The quality of a person’s life
is in direct proportion to their commitment to
excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”
“Desire is the key to motivation,
but it’s determination
and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal
a commitment to excellence
that will enable you to attain the success you seek.”

what separates the good from the great ?
THAT EXTRA DEGREE....
to get what we've never had,
we must do what we've never done.
The only thing that stands between a person
and what they want in life
is the will to try it
and the falth to believe it possible.
Many of life's failures are
men who did not realize how close they were to success
when they gave up.
It's your life.
You are responsible for the results.
It's time to turn up the heat.

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.
The race is not always to the swift,
but to those who keep on running.
Perseverance is not a long race;
it is many short races one after another.
One may go a long way after one is tired.
Let perseverance be your engine

Determination – its the key to all human success.
But by definition – being determined in the face of struggle is difficult.
Sometimes we need support and encouragement,
sometimes we need to figure out what went wrong,
and sometimes we just need to grit our teeth,
pull ourselves up by the bootstraps,
and soldier onward.
At the end of the day,
life is hard for all of us (though to varying degrees),
and there will be many obstacles to what we want from life.
You might look at successful people and from the outside – it looks easy.
You might think you’re putting in as much effort as anyone else.
But the truth is that as humans,
we often overestimate our own determination
and underestimate the determination of those around us.
“I am not judged by the number of times I fail,
but by the number of times I succeed:
and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I fail and keep trying.”
DO OR DO NOT DO,
THERE IS NOT TRY.....
JUST DO IT

The kind of commitment I find among the best performers
across virtually every field is
a single-minded passion for what they do,
an unwavering desire for excellence in the way they think
and the way they work.
Genuine confidence is what launches you out of bed in the morning,
and through your day with a spring in your step.
The successful person makes a habit of doing
what the failing person doesn't like to do.
If you want to be successful in a particular field of endeavor,
I think perseverance is one of the key qualities.
The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating
in work, in play, in love.
You're not obligated to win.
You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day.

Every day is a new opportunity.
You can build on yesterday's success
or put its failures behind and start over again.
That's the way life is,
with a new game every day.

is doing your best today.
If at first you don't succeed,
you are running about average.
Success consists of going from failure to failure
without loss of enthusiasm.

Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.”
“You learn nothing from your successes except to think too much of yourself,
it is from failure that all growth comes,
provided you can recognize it,
admit it,
learn from it,
rise above it,
and then try it again.”
“I have failed over and over in my life.
And that is why I succeed. “
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does.
A man is not finished when he's defeated.
He's finished when he quits.When people endure a traumatic event,
they are either defeated or made stronger.
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
If you fail, it doesn’t mean that’s the end of your life or your journey.
When you encounter failures, keep in mind that it’s not a dead-end.
The routes filled with failures are hard to walk through,
but it’s not a blind alley, in the end,
you’re going to find the exit to success.
Remember, failure is the stepping stone to success.
Embrace it.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

LADIES here’s some WISE WISE WORDS from
TEAM Fit Body’s 18 yr old Zoe Walter
3rd Place BIKINI CHAMPION....
is more than just a BEAUTY ON THE OUTSIDE...
WHAT AN AMAZING INSPIRATION THIS YOUNG GIRL IS...
AS THIS IS WHAT SHE SENT ME YESTERDAY:
“i decided today to donate a whole bunch of all of the supplements i won to my old highschool weightraining class
and when i go in there i was hoping to inspire the girls in there
cause that class is super intimidating for girls
cause usually theres only 1or 2 with a bunch of beefy boys.
I wanna tell them not to be afraid to lift heavy n sweat
and that they deserve to be in that weight room just as much as the boys,
cause i wish someone was there tell me that when i was in that class.
when i decided that it kinda made me think,
if you can motivate them then you can motivate yourself to get back on track girl!
im excited,
im gunna go in with my friend who won the north surrey weight training award in 2014,
i won in 2015 so it’ll be like GIRL POWER.”
