July 14th, 2007; Thought for the day (2)

Number 2 for you:

Out of harmony with intention of goal:

When life appears to be working against you, when your luck is down, when the supposedly wrong people show up, or when you slip up and return to old, self-defeating habits, recognize the signs that you're out of harmony with intention.


The conscience can be a powerful tool if you know how to use it wisely:
"To sit alone with my conscience will be judgment enough for me."
- Charles William Stubbs


People apply this one the correct way, very powerful!

"Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems."
Rene Descartes (1596-1650), Discours de la Methode


"If two things don’t fit, but you believe both of them, thinking that somewhere, hidden, there must be a third thing that connects them, that’s credulity."
- Umberto Eco (1929-), Foucalt's Pendulum

=======================================================

All of you reach inside, look inside, and do it deeply..............and if the answer isnt there, look for it sternly on the outside and absorb it deep inside and so you can reach it.....................You all have the capability.........and you know you do..............you have the tools this site gives you, and you have the toolbox to carry it out.................

Dont fret---make it a SURE FRICKEN BET!......................


ROCK ON!

In my opinion, one has to positvely reinforce members on this forum. FF has a special desire and determination we all can learn from (even though his grammer and spelling is worse than mine......who cares! :) )

THIS IS "ONE MAJOR COMPONENT" of WHAT THIS TYPE OF FORUM IS ABOUT:

Therefore I provide a boost to our friend FF before his competition. FF you are special my friend:

==========================================================
"Man must rise above the Earth -- to the top of the atmosphere and beyond -- for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives." -- Socrates

When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." -- Leonardo da Vinci


"You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky." -- Amelia Earhart

"Flying. Whatever any other organism has been able to do man should surely be able to do also, though he may go a different way about it." -- Samuel Butler

"The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings." -- Sir James Matthew Barrie

Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes." -- Charles A. Lindbergh, 'Autobiography of Values.'

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

The engine is the heart of an airplane, but the pilot is its soul. ~Walter Raleigh

The desire to reach for the sky runs deep in our human psyche. ~Cesar Pelli

========================================================

FF you keep Flying DUDE! Keep taking off! Dont ever land! Keep the engine going! If one dies, turn the other on!

Reach for the sky and lasso it like a bull rider does a bull.

Reach for the sky, its always within your reach

Flying Free into your own unique blend personal greatness is to be admired!

My hat is off to you, and couldnt respect you more.

You have given a positive shot in the arm to this forum since you joined.

We are behind you all the way...................

You will NEVER LOSE FF.........your heart is too strong..........ROCK ON, BROTHA!

Albert Einstein
There are two ways to live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle.


Albert Einstein
The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate

The inner being can make the outer being that much stronger. The mental and spirit WITHIN oneself.........drives the outside mechanics. This by itself can make one reach inside and pullout more than they think they can achieve.
An example is a boxer in the 12th round, knocked down 3 times, tired, and seemingly out of it, and something in him comes out, and he wakes up, and wins the round, and the fight................

Beauty within beholds beauty on the outside, and this comes in many forms, and is not just limited to the illusional physical appearance.

For our forum member Jackie: July 15th, 2007

For you Jackie:

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains
unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have
altered.

-- Nelson Mandela

often we try to alter circumstances to suit
ourselves, instead of letting them alter us, which is
what they are meant to do.

-- Mother Maribel

Because of their age-long training in human
relations-for that is what feminine intuition really
is-women have a special contribution to make to any
group enterprise, and I feel it is up to them to
contribute the kinds of awareness that relatively few
men . . . have incorporated through their education.

-- Margaret Mead

Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom
manifests itself.

-- Oprah Winfrey


Women have served all these centuries as looking
glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of
reflecting the figure of a man at twice its natural
size.

-- Virginia Woolf


I think the key for woman is not to set any limitations
Martina N.

You go girl. Reach for your goal.

Chillen's body is too dang efficient for its own good (Ill share the thoughts on that later to obtain some advice)

Even if high defict (300 from MT), my squat is sky rocketing!

I did a personal best 250lbs 6 reps full squat. I weigh a mere 153lbs (this mornings weigh, and I normally increase about 5lbs during day or 158lbs, which is quite normal)............ it was an @ss buster,,,,,,,but I did it....LOL

Though I am an elf, I cant be put on a shelf; because I felt, ROCK THE HELL ON with my little ass self! :) (poking fun at my 5 foot 7 inch dwarf @ss!) :)

To be completely honest, I am scared. I dont want lose the ab definition, so I am working on this slow, but thus far, I havent found the optimum point yet.

I have been doing the zig zag, and making adjustement(from 5d--2s, to 4d--3s, to 3d--4s, with s (surplus) being about +450 over), but my fricken body is adjusting right along with it, and Im getting leaner........I just have to adjust some more........but a bit frustrating nonetheless (in gaining more muscle, and good weight, without adding fat----this isnt impossible, but it is difficult to do which may make seem like its impossible).

One would think my metabolism would have lowered to the caloric intake (since in deficit for the past few months) but it hasnt, its an efficient Bast@rd. (LOL)---not complaining as much as the aforementioned statement is a joke.

I just have to keep adjusting, Until I find the point I am looking for. Im going through a simular phase as when I was trying to lose wgt (finding my MT line or pinpointing it as accurately as possible, and backing off 300 or so, and making adjustments if they were in correct, and now I know it). Im just doing it on the other side of the fence now, but admittingly, reluctant, scared, and unsure.......but working on it.......

The bottom line is: Im just not eating enough, and have to adjust the surplus days (add a bit more) while adjusting the deficit, and so on and so forth.

this last post re-enforces the contents of this entire thread. IT IS CALLED CHARACTOR!

Yeah we may love on one another a bit, but we have the charactor to get away with it. (hahahaha should be good out of context)

you see- this is grind on the body and nutrition dynamics and report back. A bit different than 'googling' for info. But, without the educated ones, we would experience alot more infury (or at least I would).

Thank you, Brandi!

How are things with you?!

Since you have been here, you have walked a positive path; therefore should be awarded the same........... +rep girl...............you go reach the stars and pluck one down for me when you get there. ROCK ON!

I will post 2morrow and make up for today and do a double day post. Between training and work its been taxing the last few days (but it has nothing, nothing, I can handle),,,,,,,,,,,will be sometime after 3pm Monday.

ALL OF YOU have in you to bring forth anything you want. Keep trying and never give up, never.

All of you are special in your own unique way and no one person and/or person defines who you are or what you are----only you do that.

Have the special ability to mentally allow in your mentality what you want, and weed out what you dont want. Be mentally strong and nothing can pentrate you or become a barricade in your path. Stayed focused and stay wanton in your goals

ROCK ON EACH AND EVERY DAY!
 
Hey man, great work with the log, it's been a real help while giving up smoking. I like the way you've taken a bit of a stand against self pity and tried to tell people that everything's in their own power if they want it enough!

Thank you CCR.

Yes, I dont advocate self pity in the sense and circumference of the negative stimulants it can cause one, I advocate a push-positive approach. Self-Pity has its place dependent on the circumstances (ie serious medical injury, etc), but when there is a CHOICE in reference to food and whether to train, and one chooses negative paths, knowing its going to bring a negative result---in advance, they have no choice but to accept the consequences, and THIS I dont have pity for--or lin like circumstances. Instead, using a push positive: okay, you messed up, put it behind you, suck it up, and move the hell on, and change things now (as an example).

Self pity has a tendency to be like a shovel, one can dig it deeper to produce a small and then larger hole in ones self if there not careful. In general, in healthy persons, when their is CHOICE in involved, I dont like self pity it sometimes IS NOT ONES ALLY or FRIEND---to a point.

How is your quit smoking coming along?

Im at work at the moment, worked last night 12,(trained before), slept 6 (rode cycle), and back to work this morning........STILL SMILING! LOL

CCR..........chin up DUDE!

That's gone well so far, no slip ups and I'm starting to take myself off the patches by wearing them for shorter periods each day.

The biggest problem I have now is upping my calories again (I'm gonna have to go above 4,000 a day) because my weight gain is stalling and lifts aren't improving much.
I'm at that point where I've hit and surpassed all my old goals so I've been drifting along without any new targets. I have to sit myself down, work out a new goal and plan to get there and then find the motivation to do what it takes!

I'll probably post progress pics soon along with the new goals
 
hmmm......the contents of your post are most interesting.....(rubs balding head, hair falls but I enable..............with a fable on the forum table, because I want to assist you with an extension cable, toward your goals):


Im gonna think on this and post some things for ya, later this afternoon.......post 3pm..........

Move forward CCR!

Things are going great with me Chillen!! Thanks for asking:) I feel the best I think I have ever felt. Tons more energy, looking better/healthier and most of all I'm super duper happy!! lol thanks for the rep points too :) I am going to give you rep+ as well because I think the fact you take time and energy out of your day to offer encouraging and motivating words to people you have never met is amazing and shows a great deal of character. I thank you for that more than you know.

I have a thought for you CCR and your current situation, take this with ya as you begin thinking about your path brotha:

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.
Jim Rohn

========================================================

A few selected quotes for a fellow brotha in the fight: CCR

I'm convinced that we can write and live our own scripts more than most people will acknowledge. I also know the price that must be paid. It's a real struggle to do it. It requires visualization and affirmation. It involves living a life of integrity, starting with making and keeping promises, until the whole human personality of the senses, the thinking, the feeling, and the intuition are ultimately integrated and harmonized.
Stephen Covey

A leaf that is destined to grow large is full of grooves and wrinkles at the start. Now if one has no patience and wants it smooth offhand like a willow leaf, there is trouble ahead.


You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.
Brian Tracy


A clear vision, backed by definite plans, gives you a tremendous feeling of confidence and personal power.
Brian Tracy

I believe through learning and application of what you learn, you can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.
Brian Tracy

Take the pains required to become what you want to become, or you might end up becoming something you’d rather not be. That is also a daily discipline and worth considering.
Donald Trump
(he could spare a few strands of hair for my head, LOL)


And I end with:

Think and feel yourself there! To achieve any aim in life, you need to project the end-results. Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy! Carrying the ecstatic feeling will bring the desired goal into view."
Grace Spear

=========================================================
You will figure it out.........Be brutally honest within yourself and seek. You will find, its just when you STOP, you are assurred of not locating what your looking for.

Another thought: The VERY ISSUES you are fighting, successfully, in your fight with quitting smoking, are the same tools you have at your desposal to use for your diet, training, planning, organizing, and goal setting. You have already proven you have in you brotha! ROCK THE HELL ON!

Sit yourself down, and have a talk with yourself. And, if any one thinks this is wierd, has never thought crap.

Do NOT sympathize, but minimize,
the weaknesses, and maximize,
the strengths,
and you will-----personally capatilize!

BAH......sympathy! Push-Positive...and be strong...WINS.......my friend.
