Day 54 - Perfection Lies Within...

I am down to my last 54 days and now I have to work even harder to train hard and eat clean. I have to tell myself "Don't give up". Instead I have to work hard and remember that this competition is all about competing with myself. We often compare ourselves to others and think 'she has nicer ___ (you can fill in the body part with whatever you want) than I do'. It's not about all of that, it's all about being the best that you can be! We all know how subjective this sport is, but if you know that you worked your "butt off" (no pun intended), and did all that you could possible do then you will feel great when you get up on stage. I learned from my first show that presentation is also a big part of competing. I was so terrified of getting on stage for my first show that my presentation was not the best that it could be. One of my goals of my first show was just getting on stage and it was a fear I had to overcome.
The phrase "Perfection Lies Within" to me means that knowing and believing that you gave it your all, that you did all that you can do.
