“The most essential factor is persistence
the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened
by the discouragement that must inevitably come.”
“Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all
obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities:
It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak”

“Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you,
they're supposed to help you discover who you are.”
“Don't be afraid to fail.
Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure
. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge.
It's OK to fail.
If you're not failing, you're not growing.”
“Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.”
picked myself up, dusted off and here we go AGAIN !!!!

Effort only full releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.
“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.”
“It was character that got us out of bed,
commitment that moved us into action,
and discipline that enabled us to follow through.”
Commitment in the face of conflict produces character.”

Cultivate your own capabilities, your own style.
Appreciate the members of your family for who they are,
even though their outlook or style may be miles different from yours.
Rabbits don't fly.
Eagles don't swim.
Ducks look funny trying to climb.
Squirrels don't have feathers.
Stop comparing.
There's plenty of room in the forest

Self belief is a positive tonic that helps people grow beyond their dreams
SOME MAY THINK I'M CRAZY TO KEEP CHASING THAT RAINBOW....
"why don't you just give it up Dawn?
what are you gettin' outta it?
you are gettin kinda old to be bodybuilding !
why don't you live you life now?"
BUT THE DAY I STOP CHASING MY DREAMS
IS THE DAY YOU CAN COME TO MY WAKE
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.
It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.
If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.
The thing always happens that you really believe in;
and the belief in a thing makes it happen
