    Boxing has been an interest of mine for a long time. It's only been recently that I've made the commitment to go to a gym with my intention on competing.

    A kid from my gym the other day asked me if I'm going to be a pro boxer like the guys on the posters. I said, I'll see. If I can get good enough, anything can happen.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    I believe in visualizing things, then taking the necessary steps to getting there. Chances are, if you can't ever see yourself getting to some sort of pinnacle...you likely won't get there. Now dreaming it alone isn't going to do it..but without the dream I doubt much more would materialize.

    Life would be sorta boring too, I think...if we were to contantly set limitations upon ourselves, not to mention unfullfilling. Used this quote before, but I like it, so....

    "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

    -Theodore Roosevelt
