Wednesday-108 days left

See?  Soon the days will  be in the single digits!  So far to go body wise...

Anyway....tuesday and this morning i got up for EMC....still not early enough...yesterday i only got in about 20 min and this morning i only got 17...im trying....i did 40 when i got home too last night...cant forget that :)

Yesterday was shoulders, today was back. 

I dont think im going to go to that party on saturday.  Honestly, its too much work...LOL!  And then to have to worry about food, etc....im better off not going...so adam said he is going to just stop there and then i will be with angelica until he gets home. 

So what i have been thinking about is this....that fire...desire, whatever it is that drives you to do something.  Where does it come from?  What happens inside you that makes you want something so badly?  That nothing can stop you, that no one can get in your way?  That winning attitude, that focus, the strength? 

Athletes have it....maybe it has something to do with sports....if you played sports in high school or college.. you have teammates and coaches, pushing you, people in the stands rooting for you.  But what if you are like me?  Someone who never played sports, never really competed in anything.  You were just a normal person trying to do something so out of the ordinary..something that not many people want to do, or can do???  Something that some people think that you are crazy to do.   So do you just have to continually repeat it to yourself that you can do this?  That you are special?  That you can do anything!  That you are a winner!!!   

I find it facinating...and i want the secret :)  I have watched "the sport of figure" over and over.  Ava had said in one part (and im paraphrasing) that people would tell her that she couldn't do it and she wanted to prove them wrong!  Yeah, for the most part, i want to do that too...but to have that FORCE and FIRE to back it up...that is what is important and what is needed. 

Some days i have it....some days i dont.  I guess that happens with a lot of people but how do you say "this is it"  this is what i want more than anything in the whole wide world!!!

Just a thought ;)

You CAN be the sort of person you want to be, you just need to believe that you can be.

Good luck and best wishes.

It's not something that can be forced; you just have to FEEL it. If you need to remind yourself to feel passionately about something, then it might not be right for you.

Being competitive doesn't have anything to do with WHO you are as a person, though ... just because you may not feel the drive to beat someone at something doesn't mean you don't have special, unique qualities. Believe in yourself and find YOUR true passion!
