Make it happen!

And all those days, those minutes and seconds of torture
the peace and freedom in those moments of pain
it all comes down to this.

you can sit on your ass and wish things to happen
you can pray and pray and will them to happen
or you can put your spikes on and make it happen.


If everybody's making fun of you and criticizing you,
then you know you're on the right track

Life is like a photography
we use the negatives to develop.






my photos will be ready soon

its all about the present.


"Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something.
Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it.
People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it.
You want something, go get it.
Period."

failed






The most pronounced words
i ever wrote
are the very words i failed to speak.

Take life, one hurdle at a time.

These moments are fleeting.
Live them now,
because you'll never get them back again.




Dream as if you'll live forever.
Live as if you'll die today.

Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

It's pretty simple really,
Work hard,
Train smart,
&& It'll happen.

To talk much and arrive nowhere is the same as climbing a tree to catch a fish



“Some people want it to happen,
some wish it would happen,
others make it happen.”

The thing i want most in life, cannot be bought nor sold. But earned.

think, really hard.
&& ask yourself.

are you doing enough?

are you working hard enough,
are you looking after yourself good enough,
are you doing everything you can?

if the answer is yes, then your a lying fraud and you should stop reading this blog and go be mediocre else where, coz the truth is, you could always be doing more.

more reps.
more speed.
more strength.
more technique.
more smiles.
more laughs.
more hugs.

more sleep.

more, more, more.

but when can you sit back and say, i have done enough.
well, you cant really.
There are only a few people in this world that can say they have done enough.
Usain Bolt: 100m World Champion, Olympic Champion, World Record Holder, Olympic Record Holder.
Lance Armstrong: 7 time Tour De France winner and cancer survivor.

There are others who fit this catigory of the most amazing athletes we have ever seen but i have chosen these two for a reason.

The feats both these athletes have accomplished are phenomenal.
Yet both of these athletes have never once said "I've done all i can do"
Bolt is still chasing down his own world record.
Armstrong is training for yet another tour de france win.

so dont sit there and tell yourself you are doing enough
because the truth is you can always be doing more
you'll always have to do more

There is no end to how hard you have to work.

it'll always be harder, harder, harder..
until your day is done.

lack of inspiration

due to this blog being my out source of athletic stress. and having a month of heavy training and no comp and little inspiration this blog will go untouched until i pull myself out of this slump and feel motivated. until then i have started a new blog based on life outside of athletics. i know, i amazed myself when i figured out i had a life outside of athletics.
