Loyalty & Devotion

“Be loyal to the royal within you” – Elaine S.Dalton

may I introduce you to the most loyal Dog in the world: my fluffyball ROCCO :) 

In your life, there will always be someone who expects too much from you and because you want to be loyal to your “friends” you try to satisfy them. But be careful, not everyone deserves your loyalty. Trust those who care about you even in times you think you don’t deserve it. Be strong and learn how to say NO to people who don’t deserve your devotion.

Can you see the bond between those 2? That makes me so happy :)

Loyalty is highly correlated with honesty and it needs to be appreciated. Once you’ve pushed a loyal person to the point where he no longer cares you will probably lose this person forever. Notice the people who are happy for your happiness, and sad for your sadness.

my best one's <3

So here is my advice for you: always be loyal to those who are loyal to you! It’s just as simple as that! Don’t waste your time on people who are abusing your kindness or betraying your loyalty.

So to undergo this situation, be loyal (to those who deserve it). Loyalty does not mean that you have to stick together like glue every single day, but about being real and faithful to each other even when you’re not together (counts for friendships and relationships). Relationships and friendships require loyalty, not as an option but as a priority.

my best friend <3

There is one thing you should never feel sorry for: your trust issues! There is a reason why they are present! You are not responsible for the fact that people disappointed you and hurt you. The worst thing is that the person who complains the most about your issues becomes the person who boosts them. Do yourself a favor, and never let your loyalty make a fool of you! At the end of the day, real situations expose fake people! You need to accept that you can’t force loyalty.

love you <3

It’s all about choices! It’s not about perfection or making mistakes. It’s about an everlasting dishonest character and abandons! Friendship and loyalty are the opposite of dishonesty and abandons! Don’t trust those people when you already have doubts about their sincerity.

By the way, here is a note for all those who feel distracted or irritated when it comes to sarcasm: There is a straight relation between sarcasm and honesty in every relationship! Sarcastic people have the tendency to be more honest, loyal and straightforward with their friends. It sound kind of weird, but using sarcasm is a manner to show your love!

thank you for always being my anker, the one who is always loyal to me!

I wish you a nice weekend my lovely ones!

I’m going to enjoy a good cup of tea because I need to get rid of my bronchitis and pneumonia… Take care of you! Bye-bye

Mental Health Drill (Part 2)

Hello VAL-mily <3

Mental Health Drill, second Part

This is for everyone who is struggling with self-issues: you are GREAT! Perhaps for someone you might not be his first choice, but for somebody else you are worth every minute of the day! Please do not pretend being somebody else when you have the illusion that somebody does not like you, because you are a 100% perfect at being yourself!

Sometimes you are ashamed of some things you did, like your reactions or actions, but you have to be proud of the person you have become today!

You don’t need to be picture-perfect, nobody does! You are amazing just the way you are and you don’t deserve to be punished for that! Do your best every day; be loyal, true and honest to your entourage AND to yourself. Be there for your friends and family! Prove them that compassion still exists! Don’t give too much power to your negative thoughts!

Find a way to become proud and happy again!

This is how you can improve your feeling of mental strength:

• Move on! Stop wasting time on feeling sorry for yourself! Keep control over your life; don’t give others the right to judge over you! Welcome changes because they can be beautiful! Sometimes you need to take some risks to get what you want, but don’t do it out of nothing. Equalize your risks and gains.
• Take responsibility for your behavior : Don’t be silly enough to repeat your mistakes. Concentrate on your present, it is NOW that counts. Don’t worry about how other people see you, because it is your life, not theirs and you have to live it!
• Take your time alone: Sometimes you need to be ready to fail! Yes I know, after all this positive pushes that might sound a little weird but hey… life is complicated and it is full of ups and down. Instead of panicking, take your failure as a lesson or a chance to improve yourself!

With a strong mind, you can achieve everything! 

• Don’t complain too much: it’s unnecessary to waste energy on things you cannot control. It’s a waste of time.
• Don’t expect instant results: sometimes it takes a little time for something good to happen! Don’t lose hope! You need to learn how to deal with discomfort! Accept the situation as it comes.
• Be happy for other people’s success: don’t be selfish or jealous because it’s not good for your self-esteem. Flourish your own values and don’t envy people too much. Don’t be persuaded that the world owes you anything.

Have a look on everything you have achieved so far! Are you proud of yourself? 
Because YOU HAVE TO BE!! Alter you depressive mode and replace every negative thoughts by a productive and positive one! You are worth it. So stop punishing yourself!

Don’t give a damn what people say about you (Yes I know how difficult this is, and my boyfriend would say: you wrote it in your blog so why don’t you do it for yourself? I personally know how hard it is to NOT listen to all those idiots around you, but… I’ll try my best to improve that)! People will always talk, but don’t let them manipulate your thoughts and actions…

Limited minds and liars don’t define your personality. Only your beliefs, opinions, thoughts and actions do! Know who you are and accept that you don’t have to prove anything to anyone except yourself. Be proud of what you have accomplished this year and what you are going to do in the future.

Be proud of yourself!

Look at me: Because of YOU, your support and your motivation, I find my inspiration for my posts and my enthusiasm to write!

THANK YOU FOR THAT my beautiful and awesome VAL-MILY!

Muscles, Shape & Fairydust

Hello my lovely ones!

Patience, mental and physical endurance, self-control and an unbreakable will to conquer: the most important properties an athlete needs.

the trophies & J-M.B Poster

This post will be all about the awesome work of our lovely fit-spiration LIFTING FAIRY! I wanted to support her and so I promised her to come to see her on stage during the international west-German competition in Rheinbach. As I always keep my promises, I joined the competition as a visitor with my lovely boyfriend. As my boyfriend and I will be part of the POWER FOOD’s J-M.B Team from next year on (not for competition but only for our own fitness and health), we wanted to join them and to support the athletes on stage.

Miss Shape Competitors!

Beast Mode ON :D

Even if I am not the person who would participate in such a competition, I wanted to visit it because of three reasons:

• Because I promised it
• To motivate myself and my boyfriend to push harder
• To see what a fitness and bodybuilding competition really looks like, because nowadays people have many prejudices and mental etiquettes that need to be changed.

Lifting Fairy and her boyfriend Ken did so well on stage! They were really good prepared and they showed us a high level of endurance! Their posing was super great and they looked absolutely fabulous! They were both in a great shape! Unfortunately they couldn’t qualify for Mr. and Mrs. Universe but I think this was just the beginning... I am really proud that I had the opportunity to be a part of “the rise” of two great athletes. This experience will always be a part of you. You can be really proud of yourself! if you want to see more pictures or if you want to read how Lifting Fairy experienced her first competition, visit her blog (www.lifting-fairy.blogspot.com).

I am so overwhelmed of their persistence and their will to succeed. Both of them are a great inspiration and motivation for every one of us.

For me, personally, you are both winners! You gave your very best and you really smashed us with your posing! It was your moment to shine, and you really did! Keep going, and never lose your will!

Jeff and I are honored that, from January on, we will be a part of this awesome team!

So here are my best pictures:

“Lifting Fairy”: Look at you!! You’re not that little fairy anymore. You’ve become a grown up sparkling fitness lady! You can definitely be proud of you girl :)

"Ken from Dumbbell": I think that a lot of Men will envy you for your hard work, endurance and your muscular body! You and Jenny are a good example that hard work pays off! Keep going! You did just great!

There were so many good-looking athletes. Women and men who worked their butt off to be in a shape they have never been before. Every one of them owns my deepest respect, because I don’t think that someone who has never participated in a competition like this knows what it’s like to accomplish such a hard work.

Be proud of yourself!!

Power Food's J-M.B Team! Ken, Yannick (1st place Body III) & Jenny
