Miss Mighty Mouse

I am a fourth year Visual Arts student from Canada currently studying abroad in Northeast England. I like to lift weights, do yoga, cook healthy food, and eat lots of chocolate.

This is where I post my personal goals, log my workouts, share interesting articles, and post some of my photography work. Enjoy!

Sport doesn’t care where you’re from, if you’re a man or a woman, tall, thin, big or short. Sport doesn’t care how you got here, how much money you make, what you believe in or not. It doesn’t care if you have two legs, one leg or wheels. Sport only cares that you’re here to take part and give your all to win.
I have learned… That if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

A cool video highlighting track athlete Phylicia George about her training and motivation. Phylicia will be representing Canada at the upcoming London 2012 Olympics!

Anyone can have a desire, a dream, a wish or good intentions. Anyone can start something and go with full force until the first or second or maybe the third obstacle challenges that decision. But it’s the person with commitment who WILL GO ALL THE WAY!

Commitment is the reason why some people succeed and others wonder if they ever will. Commitment is the reason why winners keep winning and losers never make it.

The difference between success and failure is the “commitment threshold.” When your commitment threshold is low, failure is around the corner. Great achievers are always trying to increase their commitment thresholds. They don’t allow past victories, defeats, successes or failures to stop them.

It’s akin to an investment and we always say you commit to yourself, not to your diet (for example). So therefore, commitment is investing in yourself as well. And you can’t fake it - people know when you’re not committed; it’s reflected in your actions and behaviours.

A committed person never gives up, despite obstacles; they keep walking towards their goals not allowing even the slightest discomfort to distract them. That’s the difference between intentions/interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit, but when you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.

Persevere in the face of challenges.
