Who Won?
First of all both of these women are winners. They are winners because they don’t let circumstances, obstacles, “problems” or people keep them from their objective! The winner of Overall Masters Bikini at the NPC Midwest Championship was Katie Pickens (blonde)… the winner of my online poll was my client Leslie Crawford (brunette).
I took the poll because I wanted to show the fine line between 1st and 2nd place they both looked phenomenal and both worked their butts off! In bodybuilding if competitors don’t place how they think they should have, or believe that they could never build the body of a champion competitor, they can easily get really discouraged!
“If you’re not first your last” -Ricky Bobby Talladega Nights
I love that quote! When I play a sport with my nieces and nephews the 1st time they beat me is the last time we play! Because I am immature! Ha Ha…. I do it because I think it’s funny! But I don’t live my life like that! Thomas Edison is credited with 1093 inventions, when referring to the light bulb he said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
He was determined…..
The definition for DETERMINATION is “firmness of purpose”.
“The question isn’t ‘Who is going to let me’; it’s who is going to stop me.” – Ayn Rand
99% of the people that step foot on the stage in a Bodybuilding competition are in better shape than 99% of the population! The difference between 1st place and 5th place is TIME, CONSISTENCY and DETERMINATION. (Provided of course you’re on a good plan) If you are moving in a positive direction even if it’s SLOW PROGRESS you are still moving toward your goal! Success is not a race it’s a destiny.
Determination is the difference between success and failure. There is no win in quit.

P.S. I am sure that Katie wanted to win my online poll (ha ha) just like Leslie wanted to win Overall Masters Bikini, but they didn’t complain or let not winning make them a loser! Success is getting knocked down 9 times and getting up 10.
