“Allowing only ordinary ability and opportunity,
we may explain success mainly by one word
and that word is WORK! WORK!! WORK!!! WORK!!!!
Not transient and fitful effort,
but patient, enduring, honest, unremitting and indefatigable work
into which the whole heart is put....
There is no royal road to perfection.”
“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.”

Let go. Surrender.

Our ability to commit
will determine our ability to succeed, prevail and overcome.
Your success is determined by your work,
not your market.
The the amount of effort you put into your work
is just as important, or more important than
the actually work you choose to do.
Commitment is the difference between goal and a wish.
Anybody can have a hope and wish,
but what matters most is the resolve to make it happen.

“The reason most people never reach their goals is
that they don’t define them,

Nothing is impossible.
The word itself says, “I’m possible!”
It is our choices,
that show what we truly are,
far more than our abilities.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

“Insanity is doing the same thing,

“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour,
his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear,
is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause
and lies exhausted, but victorious,
on the field of battle.”
AND EVERY DAY WE FIGHT OUR BATTLE....
Let me tell you something you already know.
The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows.
It’s a very mean and nasty place,
and I don’t care how tough you are,
it will beat you to your knees
and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain’t about how hard you hit.
It’s about how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward;
how much you can take
and keep moving forward.
That’s how winning is done!
Now, if you know what you’re worth,
then go out and get what you’re worth.
But you gotta be willing to take the hits,
and not pointing fingers saying
you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.
Cowards do that
and that ain’t you.
You’re better than that!

"Don’t Quit."
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

I attract to my life
whatever I give my attention, energy and focus to,
whether positive or negative.
What you radiate outward
in your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures and words,
you attract into your life. “
It is your vibrational thoughts that give life to the goals you wish for.”
Visualize what you want and you will bring that into your reality...
“The man who never weakens when things are against him
will grow stronger and stronger until all things will delight to be for him.
He will finally have all the strength he may desire or need.
Be always strong and you will always be stronger.
Picture in your mind your own best idea of
what a strong, well-developed individuality would necessarily be,
and then think of yourself as becoming more and more like that picture.
In this connection it is well to remember that
we gradually grow into the likeness of that which we think of the most.
Therefore, if you have a very clear idea of a highly developed individuality,
and think a great deal of that individuality
with a strong, positive desire to develop such an individuality,
you will gradually and surely move towards that lofty ideal.”

The problem with worry is that
we attract the very thing we are trying to avoid.
We live a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Life keeps its agreement with us through our beliefs,
because whatever we think about,
we bring about.
Life is like a mirror.
It reflects back whatever image we present to it.

“Pain is temporary.
It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year,
but eventually it will subside
and something else will take its place.
If I quit, however,
it lasts forever.
That surrender,
even the smallest act of giving up,
stays with me.
So when I feel like quitting,
I ask myself,
which would I rather live with?”

“You can spend minutes,
hours, days, weeks, or even months
over-analyzing a situation;
trying to put the pieces together,
justifying what could've, would've happened...
or you can just leave the pieces on the floor
and move the **** on.”
“Love is forgiving,
accepting, moving on, embracing,
and all encompassing.
And if you’re not doing that for yourself,
you cannot do that with anyone else.”

“Even if you cannot change all the people around you,

Spend your life with people who make you smile,
laugh, and feel loved.”

“He that can have patience can have what he will.”
“success awaits those who steadfastly commit to any requisite sacrifice”
Delaying gratification is a process of
scheduling the pain and pleasure of life
in such a way as to enhance the pleasure
by meeting and experiencing the pain first
and getting it over with.
It is the only decent way to live.

“I believe that everything happens for a reason.
People change so that you can learn to let go,
things go wrong
so that you appreciate them when they're right,
you believe lies
so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart
so better things can fall together.”

Discipline is the difference between

“Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.
To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”

Feb 23, 2017 PT OF THE DAY
the below by TOP PREP COACH: Shelby Starnes is totally appropriate for the YOU VS YOU theme for today...........
Some things I've learned coaching others:
1. There is tremendous variability in individual response. Some need to work twice as hard to get half the results. This is not fair, but it's reality.
2. Many know what to do, but fail to execute. Being accountable to a coach, and having an objective eye, helps them go from average to great.
3. It's very hard to predict talent. Wide shoulders and tiny waist might be lazy AF. Narrow shoulders and wider waist might be an all-star workhorse. Sometimes it takes months to tease out these details. I know who I'll place my bets on.
4. Many overestimate the importance of the perfect plan, and underestimate the importance of brutal consistency. I'll take the 80% plan for 10 years every time, over the 100% plan you anguish over, never figure out, and never start.
5. Striving for balance is admirable, but don't be surprised when your progress is eclipsed by those who don't give a shit about balance.
6. Progress is rarely linear. Just because you accomplished "x" the first month, doesn't mean you'll accomplish "12x" in a year. Try more like 4x.
7. Working smarter always beats working harder, but the person with the higher pain tolerance will almost always have the upper hand.
8. Percentage-wise, most of your time will be spent on a plateau (the body just isn't an ever-expanding, ever-strengthening machine). You will also probably not win most of your shows, unless you only pick easy ones. So attach your idea of success to something other than constantly being in the spotlight and constantly setting new PRs.
