Happiness is not a station to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.

“Your time is limited,
so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most importantly,
have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.”

“Every moment you get is a gift.
Spend it on things that matter.
Don’t spend it by dwelling on unhappy things.”
THATZ WHY THEY CALL IT THE PRESENT !

Dawn what cardio approach do you take with your male clients? I only saw Billy Danh a few times for his prep in the gym and saw him doing elliptical...can you give us some insight

really i let clients usually do whatever cardio they like as long as they are in their Heart Rate zone
and what part of the zone really depends on the client
usually i don't want their HR too high cuz it can burn off valuable muscle
but depending on how their fat loss is progressing
if clients have access to a step mill (revolving stairs) i think thatz number 1 choice
some clients i put on it especially alot of women
i try to keep cardio to a minimum
but again depending on how the fat loss and leaning out is goin to how much they get
food is adjusted as we go thru the process of contest prep along with cardio

i look at it like...
you gotta do ALOT OF CARDIO SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TYPE YOU AREN'T GONNA WANNA DO IT
so like i said unless the person i am working with warrants a specific kind of cardio i lv it to the person
ie: some people love to run but their body rebells but the continue to do it
i had 2 competitors that i can think of the i had to send to the pool for laps near the end of their prep
1. one had severe shin splints any other kinda cardio would killl her near the end
2. the other one was having terrible swelling on the low legs the last stretch the pool was the only thing she could tolerate

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world are
the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want.
And if they cant, make them.

Take responsibility for everything in your life. Only you can change it.

You can't hit a home run unless you step up to the plate.
You can't catch fish unless you put your line in the water.
You can't reach your goals if you don't try.

Bottom line: Trying is the name of the game.
The opportunities in life are simply gifts.
Go get your share!

The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal.
The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.

By recording your dreams and goals on paper,
you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be.

Go as for as you can see,and when you get there you will see farther.

"Keep my word positive. Words become my behaviors.
Keep my behaviors positive. Behaviors become my habits.
Keep my habits positive. Habits become my values.
Keep my values positive. Values become my destiny."


"There is a basic law that like attracts like.
Negative thinking definitely attracts negative results.
Conversely, if a person habitually thinks optimistically
and hopefully his positive thinking sets in motion creative forces -
and success instead of eluding him flows toward him."
