What motivates and inspires you...

to compete? What keeps your driven and helps maintain your focus?

 

[xcelbeyond]

I've always had a competetive streak inside me. I used to race motorcyles (cross country/off road) and was into it 24/7. Everything revolved around doing whatever it was going to take to win the next race - working on the motorcycle, endurance and strength training, and practicing. Now I never really won any races but did well enough (accumulating points for various levels of finishing) to earn the #2 overall spot based on one years racing.

So - I'd say to have the burn to win. Or at least do the best to put yourself into the position of winning.

LOVE,,,,, it really all comes down to Love for the sport and Love from a woman , i felt as if i had more drive and ambition when I was in love,, not sure if that makes any sense but thats just how it went for me,, a woman who supports you and things you love can be a powerfull allie.

I suppose for me it would be the desire to be great, and noone ever became great by sitting on their ass( at least not in this sport)

I don't compete, but what keeps me motivated to keep training day in and day out and to keep my diet clean are the posters I have of myself in my leopard thong. When I start feeling lazy, like I'd rather take a nap, or if I feel like eating a box of donuts instead of a pound of salmon and some spinach leaves, I just look up at the posters and say "you don't get to look like that with donuts and a nap, that takes dedication." That's what inspires me.

Sometimes when the sweat's pooring down and every vein in my head is popping out. When the strain gets so intense that I'm barely conscious and the only thought in my head is making it through and knowing that I'll have to do it again soon. It makes me wonder, "who's idea was this, what am I doing." And right when I think I can't do it....PLOP...it's all over. I stand up and look down into the toilet and I remember that I can do anything.

results = motivation

seeing results slowly but surely , i would have to say progress is my motivation, seeing my intended results come alive is what makes me Love the sport pushing myself more and more

hard to answer...

its internal and intrinsic, awards and notoriety are nice but not the underlying factor. I think when in life u find something that u enjoy and love it doesnt matter how much it sux and how crappy u feel, u continue. Muscle has always been a very attractive thing to me. Aesthetic, proportional, symmetrical, and yes freaky muscle is something that creates awe to me. And to mix the complete commitment and dedication it takes to do a BBing show is what drives me. Without and escape from life, and trip out of reality, and without some sort of physical commitment in my life I feel lost. BBing seperated from the drug abuse, the political crap, and the rest of the BS we humans bring to it is very pure, healthy art.

I have the entry form for my first show on the refrigerator. I look at that and think about the time and dedication it takes to compete in a BBing show. I know that I want to come in and look good, regardless if I place or not. If I lookk my best then I can be proud of myself and know that I will only get better. That is what keeps me going to the gym and working hard.
