Some men succeed because they are destined to, but most men succeed because they are determined to.

Greame Clegg

This is a wonderful quote!! WHY? because some of us (myself included) get frustrated because some people are genetically blessed and dont have to work at all to achieve the goal or dont have to put in half the work we do. They are destined by nature to succeed in that aspect….but that does NOT mean that we cant achieve that as well. Its funny because if you look around MOST are NOT genetically blessed but we seem to focus on those handful of people that are and compare our efforts with theirs. We can accomplish what they have it just takes more effort which in my opinion is just fine because we value the product ALOT more!

My parents always told me that people will never know how long it takes you to do something. They will only know how well it is done. 

Nancy Hanks

 Its funny because even though we know this logically, when we see pictures of peoples before and after photos all we see is old and new. We didnt see all the blood, sweat, time, and tears that went into the transformation. From our view it was overnight because that is exactly what we perceive although we know that isnt the case. We get discouraged when the results dont come fast enough and get mad, depressed, or give up. Just know that it took them time too but they just started their journey before you did.

I want to be able as years pass by, to look myself always straight in the eye.Author Unknown

Do you get the meaning of this? i sure do. And i live my life knowing that I always want to look at myself without guilt.

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

The brain is like a muscle. When we think

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. 

Mahatma Gandhi

I LOVE this quote. It really grasps in 1 sentence the idea that whatever you want in life you must give it. To be loved you have to love to be respected you have to give it…this goes for anything you want…its a law of life. Do you always  have to wait for someone to give it to you? maybe they are waiting for you to give it to them? Be the one to start the chain of events that leads to change.

Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. 

Abraham Lincoln

 HOw many times have we failed in our lives? and how many of us have kept going? I know I have ALWAYS kept my enthusiasm no matter how bad i was on my diet that day or week. No matter how much I failed to give my all in the gym a particular day. I just made it up the next day and pushed forward knowing my goals are just around the corner.

"Your mind is like a parachute it must be open to use it!"

I was in my last class of the summer last night and my teacher left us with this quote….what a wonderful quote and it is profoundly true! I have come to realize that the more open minded I am…the more reality reveals truth to me and the more world I have to discover.

Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory 

Mahatma Gandhi

That is for real!! That victory could be a matter of 1 day 1 week 1 year 10 years!!!! It all has the same formula!
