I just finished working out. It was an intense workout. Cardio and Strength Training... aggghhh:) There were so many times during my workout that I wanted to call it quits. I kept telling myself that this was what was needed to get to the place that I wanted to be. Today marks 75 days to the competition. Training for Miss Black USA 2009 is very challenging. It's not about being pretty but you must be mentally, spiritually and physically prepared. I finished the workout and was rejuvenated and ready to face my other daily tasks. So back to the grind but before I leave I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes by Les Brown. It reminds me that hard work, perserverance, sacrifice and God's mercy always leads to success. I hope you enjoy it.
If You Want a Thing Bad Enough
"If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace, and your sleep for it... if all that you dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without it... if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it and lose all your terror of the opposition for it... if you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity... if neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gout, sickness nor pain, of body and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want... if dogged and grim you beseech and beset, with the help of God, you WILL get it" ~ Les Brown
Have a FABULOUS day!
