    "Where you are is a great place to be. Because from where you are, you can go anywhere you decide to go. When you live in the past, you get stuck in a world that no longer exists. When you live in a fantasy of denial or wishful thinking, you sever your connection to the very reality that can move you forward. Here and now is where you are. Here and now is where you can be your best. Here and now is full of opportunities and brimming with possibilities. Here and now your actions have consequences and you can control those consequences by wisely choosing those actions. Here and now you have power, the power to change your life. You may not have chosen where you are right now. Yet that really doesn't matter. What matters is what you choose to do now that you're here. You are in a great position right here, right now. As soon as you accept, acknowledge and appreciate where you are, you can begin to move to precisely where you would like to be. Make the most of your good fortune right here, right now."

    Here's mine: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference!

    I'm always on Pinterest looking for motivational quotes... Here are some I really like:

    1- "Because your body is a temple, not a trash can."
    2 - "Eat for the body you want, not the body you have."
    3- "If you don't want to keep starting over, stop giving up."
    4- "Do not reward yourself with food. You are not a dog!"
    5- "There are 7 days in a week and 'Someday' isn't one of them."

    :-)

    love

    IT IS A SHAME TO GROW OLD WITHOUT EVER KNOWING THE BEAUTY AND STRENTH YOUR BODY IS CAPABLE OF.

    This!

    Also, the quote that keeps me going right now (and the one i've plastered everywhere at work and at home lol) is:

    "A year from now you will wish you had started today." It reminds me that today is the day to get this done, not tomorrow!:) Tomorrow turns into next year which turns into five years......etc.

    Here is a quote, which i wrote a blog about on MFP yesterday,
    from a poster which hung over my bed as a teen,
    and the words still come to my mind now and then, all these many decades later.

    //" If you can picture it, you can achieve it."//


    ^to ME, that quote is banging around in my head a lot right now, as for the first time, in a long time, i CAN begin to picture myself healthy again.

    Vision without execution is delusion.

    Of course it burns, but complaining wont make you look good naked.

    Life is short....buy the damn shoes!

    My dreams don't rest, so neither can I.

    Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion - you must set yourself on fire.

    And my all time favorite....SKY ABOVE ME, EARTH BELOW ME, FIRE WITHIN ME.

    This is my all-time favorite:
    "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~Marianne Williamson
