    "Because once you are Real, you can't be ugly except to those who don't understand."
    - The Velveteen Rabbit

    I think that's one of my favorite quotes.

    Oh and

    "Heaven's not just beyond the clouds, it's just beyond the fear."
    - Garth Brooks

    and

    "Some pursue happiness, others create it."

    I have these hanging up in my kitchen, the first half are quotes, the last half are my personal motivation:

    Start from where you are. It is the only place you can.
    Don’t give up what you want most for what you want at the moment.
    Understand that you are capable of making significant changes. Then prove yourself right.
    Just get started. Then don’t quit.
    When you stretch yourself, you find out how strong you are.
    I always regret it when I don’t. I never regret it when I do.

    I am in training.
    I want to reach my ideal body weight.
    I want to have a clean and healthy body.
    I want to build muscle and reduce body fat.
    I do not want to indulge in sweets because they are packed with artificial ingredients.
    When I over-eat or indulge in sweets I perspire more, retain water, and get very tired.

    I love these Angie!:heart:

    Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do.
    But to hold it together when everyone else would understand
    if you fell apart, that's true strength.:heart:

    We delight in the beauty
    of the butterfly,
    but rarely admit the changes
    it has gone through
    to achieve that beauty.

    Don't say you don't have enoug time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. (Unknown)

    WOW
    That is a powerful thought.

    I'm a quote fanatic! In case it's not been apparent yet.:laugh:

    So glad so many of you have jumped in and joined up and shared as well...please continue...so many are inspiring, though provoking, often times exactly the one we need at the very moment we pop on!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    you guys ROCK big TIME:heart:

    Ditto about being a fanatic! I'm recording these to take home and write in my quote journal. It's a big thick journal where I record all my favorite quotes. I've been doing that for about 8 years. I have so many for every occasion. Might have to break that out and post my favorites here!!
