"Never let the competition define you.
Instead, you have to DEFINE YOURSELF....
based on a point of view you care deeply about."

TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

ya know lookin at the pix of the show
some may be bigger
and some may be more cut
but theres no one i'd rather be than ME !
and when you can get to that place
then you can be truely happy....
on another note
i just realized that in a few days i will be 15 years clean from DRUG ADDICTION
and for those who don't know that about me
i was a hardcore crack addict & alcoholic who cleaned up October 19, 1996
and have been clean & sober since that day

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

I have to say Dawn , i love your " this is nothing that is going to stop me from acheiving my goal" attitude , it really is refreshing ! I have read almost everyone of your daily updates and I havbe yet to see one bad mood (even while dieting) , one negative thought ....you really must piss alot of people off ...lol Congrats again , the photos look unreal !

i meant to respond to this awhile back and musta got sidetracked
my ADD probably lol
thank you so much for your kind words they really mean alot to me
and yah i know i do piss alotta people off but oh well too bad so sad for them
cuz one thing my 1st hubby
who was 20 yrs my senior, Powerlifting Legend Texan Doug Young taught me is....
"it doesn't matter if they are talkin' good about ya,
or they're talkin' bad about ya...
as long as they're talkin' about ya
you know you're somebody"

TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

those who see obstacles are those who are takin their eyes of the GOAL !

Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities.


Bottom line:
Your own self talk has an incredible effect on your thinking, beliefs, and actions.


Goals.
There's not telling what you can do when you get inspired by them.
There's no telling what you can do when you believe in them.
There's no telling what will happen when you act upon them.

"Never regret anything you have been through,
because only with those trials will you become a better person the next day."

"Do not think of a painful experience as a dark time in your life.
You emerge out of everything learning something or becoming a better person."

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to
what lies within us."

Dawn just wanted to say you looked great at the Canadians! I know you were really disappointed from reading your RXMuscle thread but keep your head up girl. You brought your best package ever and that in itself is a victory.... not to mention very few are able to stand on a stage like that, you are part of the elite class. Keep it up girl! Looking forward to following you into next years Canadians.

I love your daily quotes, always very motivating.
