Our ideas, like orange-plants, spread out in proportion to the size of the box which imprisons the roots.
(Edward Bulwer Lytton)
Sometimes its not how smart you are, nor how gifted you are that matters the most; its whether you imprisoned your personal roots from spreading and growing.

Work With the Things You Have for Honorable Success!
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has.
The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.
(Hamilton Wright Mabie)

The Best Way Out is Always Through
(Robert Frost)
Problem Solving. In life we are always dealing with, creating, or solving problems that come up, and within diet and training it should be as persistant as we pursuit it in life.
A problem is simply the difference between what you have and what you want. It may be a matter of getting something, of getting rid of something, of avoiding something, or of getting to know what you want.
You must know five things to win:
Victory comes from knowing when to attack and when to avoid battle.
Victory comes from correctly using large and small forces. (within you and around you)
Victory comes from everyone sharing and discussing goals.
Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.
Victory comes from having a capable commander (within you) and the government (realizing your true capabilities).

If you open up your perception enough and modify certain things you read to see if the modified version of what you read can work within your situation, you would have learned one of the greatest and monumental achievements toward your diet and fitness success.
(Chillen)
One of the MAIN reasons I am successful, is due to knowing how to "manipulate perception" of things learned and how to apply this "manipulated perception" to "strengths and weaknesses". This can save a ton of sorrow and can create much happiness.
When you arm yourself in the circumference of knowledge applicable to your goal, and partake in goal driven "perception of this knowledge" beyond just the basics, one can implement and apply this different perception to resolve problems that develop and create some freedom of the self at the same time.
(Chillen)
Pain is a powerful force, and takes on many faces. It can bring you up and bring you down, but it’s not the pain that causes this teeter-totter, it’s the application of your mind and how one uses it to deal with it that is the ultimate decision maker.
(Chillen)
Have your mind WIDE OPEN, and allow progress in your training to be a BASE for your motivation to bread INTO other aspects of your life, and use your brain to bring in differing aspects of inspiration to keep you motivated when your lifestyle environment wants to sand blast your internal will and desire.
Really brotha and sista's its about consistancy and persistence. I have never done anything more than basic and slight advanced basics application within my diet and fitness, and in reality-----THIS IS ALL IT TAKES.

The only journey is the journey within
(Rainer Maria Rilke)
I have made many posts making this statement: True POWER is application of Wisdom and learning how to appropriately--MASTER YOURSELF.
(Chillen)
You dont have to be the master of all in life, but if you learn to Master Yourself in the things you are trying to master, I promise you will find more wisdom in the attempt.
(Chillen)
Have a plan of action. Most importantly, blend diet and fitness within your life as you would other important values, and you will win more than you lose.

What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a friend to myself.

The mind can be a friend and/or foe, in either case you are in control of variances in the equation.

Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.
