Never know till you try!

:happy: While being on this journey, sometimes I come across sayings or quotes that kind of "zap" at my heart so I think each Monday I am going to change my heading for that week's thoughts.

How about you? Any favorite motivational words that keep you going? Maybe something someone has said to you in passing or such? Song lyrics? Anything. Please share! Who knows? Your thoughts might make someone stronger.

    STOP THINKING OF WHAT COULD GO WRONG AND START THINKING OF WHAT WILL GO RIGHT.

    "It's about the journey, not the destination."

    Helps me to do well every day, not just focus on my goal and get discouraged. :)

    My all time favorite is "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you." I think about it everytime I don't want to go that extra mile or 5 minutes. Gets me through, every time!

    "One day at a time."

    This also really motivates me: (I am a senior citizen). My friend who is in her mid 50s has hardly exercised at all in the past 20 years. She is a very petite (size 0 or 2), which might be part of why she didn't exercise because she's so thin anyways. But now she is very weak. I handed her a 5 pound package (very compact and easy to hold...like the shape of a book). She took it in both hands. Then she said it was straining her lower back and she asked me to take the pacakge out of her hands. When I think about this incident it really motivates me to work out and do strength training.
