    Don't be afraid to die on the treadmill!
    “I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be outworked. You may be more talented than me. You might be smarter than me. And you may be better looking than me. But if we get on a treadmill together, you are going to get off first or I’m going to die. It’s really that simple. I’m not going to be outworked.”

    -Will Smith

    My theme for the year is to work harder on anything in my life I'd like to change, really put in the effort, as much as it takes. So far it's working well for me, this quote is a good reminder of the value of doing the work.

    I have a couple that are my daily mantras

    "You cannot out-work a bad diet" (Just because you left a gallon of sweat on the gym floor you don onot have a free pass to eat the world)

    "The only thing you can change is this very second in time. Life is made up of moments - make this one a good one."

    Awesome, positive vibes!

    I love:

    You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off your face.

    It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. –Confucius

    He who conquers others is strong;
    He who conquers himself is mighty.
    Lao Tzu

    We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.
    Aristotle

    I have two favorites: First, The true measure of a man is to see what he will do when he is sure he won't be caught.

    And second, Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

    Ah, since I see we can do multiples...

    I have "Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful" on a door in my bathroom. Something so simple makes me smile and I think it's a great message for my step-daughters.
