    “If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”
    ― Bruce Lee

    Don't reward yourself with food. You're not a dog.

    The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do.

    No one compliments you on your ability to sleep in... it's not quite the expression, more the fact, that if you have time to move, you should just move!

    LetThatSomeoneBeYou2_zpsdbb79c97.jpg

    I realize that I always defined myself in terms of what I wasn't. [...]Always what I wasn't, never what I was. And when you do that, you miss the moments. And the moments are all we've got. [...] I realized I didn't want to let go. I was willing to do it all over again, and this time I could appreciate the moments. I can't go back, but I can appreciate what I have right now. And I can define myself by what I am instead of what I'm not.
    Dr. Stephen Franklin, B5

    when someone says, "you can't do it" it doesn't mean that YOU can't do it, it usually means THEY can't do it.

    This is my favorite one:
    “There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”

    “Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.” ~Doug Larson

    "Impossible isn’t a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible isn’t a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is nothing. "

    I would rather be covered in sweat at the gym than covered with clothes at the beach.

    When you're afraid, just train!
    When something doesn't feel right, just train!
    When you don't believe in yourself anymore, just train!
    The only thing that won't betray you is your training.

    Loving this thread!

    Just do it.

    All you need is love, love yourself, everything else will fall into place.

    Make it so.

    It doesn't matter if you are on the right track if all you're doing is sitting there.

    I'm worth it.

    Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A. Einstein

    1. It hurts to love some­one and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love some­one and never find the courage to let that per­son know how you feel.

    2. A sad thing in life is when you meet some­one who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

    3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feel­ing like it was the best con­ver­sa­tion you’ve ever had.

    4. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been miss­ing until it arrives.

    5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on some­one, an hour to like some­one, and a day to love some­one — but it takes a life­time to for­get someone.

    6. Don’t go for looks, they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for some­one who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

    7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

    8. Always put your­self in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it prob­a­bly hurts the per­son too.

    9. A care­less word may kin­dle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a lov­ing word may heal and bless.

    10. The hap­pi­est of peo­ple don’t nec­es­sar­ily have the best of every­thing they just make the most of every­thing that comes along their way.

    11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were cry­ing and every­one around you was smil­ing. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one smil­ing and every­one around you is crying.
