What would you do if you knew you could not fail? What kind of person would you be? What would a typical day look like? There’s a reason I am asking these questions. FIrst of all, you must know what you want… this takes constant reminders and thoughts AND second, we must put out in the universe what it is we want in order to manifest those thoughts into reality. Dreams may seem out of reach, but that’s not the point of dreams. They’re there to be felt and dug into, not just ooo’ed and awe’d over. There are endless possibilities and opportunities out there but you have to believe in yourself and go after something with the NO FAIL approach. When I say NO FAIL, I mean with the thought that yes, things will come up but there is no such thing as FAILURES rather challenging milestones that will help you along your journey! People are so afraid to go after something with the fear of failure but ladies, these “failures” are what makes the journey that much more of a success! Remember the end result or payoff is not so much in the destination as it is in the journey. By following your dreams, you are able to open yourself up to opportunities you may not have known you had! Opportunities to grow and turn into the person you want to be or are dreaming of becoming. Your life begins to blossom. You become a better person. Today and this week, I want to remind you to remove the thought of failure from your mind. Now that it is gone, what is it that you want? Think about it because remember “failure” is no longer present so you can go after anything without any restrictions. Do you see how when you remove this word or concept from your mind, opportunities arise!? It is the start of a new week, go after it with a fresh start!!!
Hello Gina!
Wow what a great weekend. I am exhausted physically and mentally but still riding the emotional high of completing goal that I had. I kind of chuckled when i logged in and saw your post for they day as I felt like you were talking directly to me. Your posts recently have been like you are in my head or something…crazy!
When i embarked on this journey i did not want to share with anyone that I was training for a competition. I had so many fears. Fear of people laughing at me or judging me, fear of getting in a bikini, fear of getting on stage but most importantly I had FEAR of FAILURE! I wouldn’t let my husband talk about me being on this journey as i doubted myself for the first couple of months…can i really do this? Is my body capable of looking like those girls that get on stage? Do I have the discipline. Sure i love to workout but I enjoy my food. Not that i ever ate bad but i obviously was not eating the right compinations/portions for my body.
I had a few setbacks on my journey to my first competition and had a pivitol moment where I had a plethora of issues that arose where it would have been easy to use them as excuses not to compete and give up. My loving and supportive husband sat me down and told me that i had been working so hard and have transformed my body and that i have shown myself that i can do it so i need to follow through otherwise I will regret it. I chewed on that for a day and then realized he was right. I chose from that moment on that Failure Was NOT An Option! I had already won.
Going into this weekend, I went in with the mentality that i was going in to have fun and soak up every bit of the experience that i could. I didn’t go in with a competitive mind set as i wasn’t there to compete with anyone else. I was there to compete with myself and I had already won! I even embraced having friends and family in the audience.
Sure, I wasn’t the smallest girl out there, I wasn’t the most toned and I didn’t have the most dazzling stage presence. But I DID have a transformed body, a new found confidence, I conqured my fears and more importantly I conquered failure. I know it sounds like a cliche but it is heartfelt when i say that I won so much more than an award this weekend. It is a weekend that I will NEVER forget. Thank you for being a part of that. You and your girls were amazing!
I am sorry to be so long winded but i will leave you with this….”Until you commit your goals to paper, you have intentions that are seeds without soil.”

What a great weekend indeed. Great post and response! You definitely will be tired for a while. A physical and mental roller coaster, that is for sure! What an amazing journey! I was talking to you, each and every one of you, lol! That seems to be what people say… that just goes to show that we are all on the same page and that is what makes this network so amazing. All in different areas of our lives, some competitors, some non, some parents, some not, all walks of life but with such similar goals and dreams!
So glad this post resonated with you and you and you now fought and beat your fear and see what you are capable of! Look what you did! Look at what you accomplished, look at the fear you overcame, amazing!
A few setbacks are simply part of the journey and a learning experience that made your journey what it was! You never gave up, no matter what! You didn’t let that voice in your head telling you “you can’t” but you absolutely CAN, you listened to the right voice. Check out that podcast! ::)
It is about a personal competition and you weren’t competing within anyone but yourself and you did an amazing job! You did everything you could, you transformed your body, conquered your fears and SO MUCH MORE! Take your lessons with you forever and keep going after your fears because you CAN AND WILL conquer them!
Congrats girlie and great reply and quote!!
