"Confidence is the most important single factor in this game,
and no matter how great your talent,
there is only one way to obtain it...
work."
"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because
they don't know when to quit.
Most men succeed because they are determined to."

You cannot dream yourself into a character;
you must hammer and forge yourself one.
Until one is committed,
there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative
there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills,
countless ideas and endless plans:
That the moment one definitely commits oneself
then providence moves, too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed
would come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it!
Boldness had genius, power, and magic in it.

Only you possess the strength within yourself to be triumphant.
It is not what surrounds you or who persuades you that creates your success.
It is you own determination and drive to be the greatest.
If you suffer a defeat,
take as much as you can away from it
and learn not to make the same mistake again.
These are the types of situations that you can use to help motivate yourself
and build your foundation on.

"The longer I live,
the more I am certain that the great difference between
the great and the insignificant, is energy
invincible determination
a purpose once fixed,
and then death or victory."
"Determination that just won't quit -- that's what it takes."

We almost never know when we are close to a breakthrough.
So keep taking those small steps
knowing that the next one just might be the one
you’ll always remember as that incredible turning point!
Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When 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.
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 must not quit.

COURAGE: is feeling the fear and doing it anyway
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities...
because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.
I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR ANYONE WHO CAN MAKE IT ALL THE WAY
THROUGH CONTEST PREP AND TO THE STAGE
I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE WHO HAD THE PHYSIQUE BUT NOT THE HEART, GUTS OR
INTESTINAL FORTITUDE TO ALL THE WAY THERE ONSTAGE
my hat goes off to those who persevere thru it all
and have the courage to put themselves out there
and to say to the world: this is the result of all my months of dieting and all my hard work
the real winners are those who make it
i congratulate all of those who do
you have shown me what you are made of
BIG HUG
now get out there and do your thing
bring it home this last stretch
give it all you got
and be proud
as i am of you

“You've got to get up every morning with determination
if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.”
“What makes the difference between wishing and realizing our wishes?
Lots of things,
and it may take months or years for wish to come true,
but it's far more likely to happen when
you care so much about a wish that
you'll do all you can to make it happen.”
BESIDES THE WISHING YOU GOTTA PUT ACTION BEHIND IT
AND WHEN IT COMES TO CONTEST PREP
I'VE SEEN MANY WHO WILL WORK THEIR ASSES OFF IN THE GYM
BUT THATZ THE EASY PART
THE PART THAT MAKES THE MOST DIFFERENCE
IS WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH !
you gotta create a deficit in order to get the fat off
you gotta burn more than you are taking in
and it's just as simple as that
IT'S KNOWING BELIEVING AND FOCUSING ON WHAT YOU WANT
NOT WHAT YOU DON'T WANT
cuz if you are focusing on what you don't want
the universe is gonna give you more of that
so if you want the fat off your legs and your butt
you gotta focus on lean legs and firm butt
YOU CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY
just like if you are constantly focusing on wanting some sweet
and you are obsessing and obsessing on it
then ultimately thatz what is gonna happen you are gonna get some
IT'S THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
we have range between 12357 and 60000 thoughts per day.
we bring into our reality our most dominant thoughts
so you must be careful what you are thinking about
if you are focusing on something you don't want
become aware of that and CHANGE IT
we are creatures of habit
and habits can be tough to break
but we can break them if we are determined to
and like anything else it takes discipline
it really all comes down to choice
when you finally take responsibility for your choices
which your choices become your life, you, your heath, your happiness
your choices become your world
and you create your destiny
your life is created by your choices and yours alone
when you finally come to terms with that
YOU WILL FINALLY BECOME EMPOWERED
whatever you consistently impress on your subconscious mind
will come into your reality
you now are the residual result of all your past choices

It was character that got us out of bed,
commitment that moved us into action,
and discipline that enabled us to follow through.
THATZ WHY I WAS UP AT 4am…

then my runners will get put on,
then my 45 mins am cardio on an empty stomach will be done,
