So I was perusing the internet at work when I should have been working for motivational quotes to place around my office to keep me inspired, but I didn't have time to find any really good ones, so I was wondering... What is your favorite motivational quote?

    The only easy day was yesterday.

    Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

    Anything worth having is worth working for. (that one is mine)
  • Dare to Dream :heart: (I have it tattooed) every time when I think "I would love to do that.. have this.. go there.. make this" and then I think something insecure like "Oh..It's me.. I cant" I look at my feet in despair or self-consciously and there it is on my foot staring back at me and I think... Of course I can do it, I deserve it, I should have my dreams.. because I AM ME!
    I also have Fuerza (getting it done this week) It means strength.. because everybody is strong in their own way.

    It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
    Emiliano Zapata
    Mexican reformer & revolutionary (1877 - 1919)


    So I was a small boy of 10 or 11 when I read this the first time. It bounced around in my head without meaning for a bit. That was about the time I started getting bullied unmercifully. So one day I was getting the crap beat out of me, but this time I fought back. I got the crap beat out of me anyway, but I understood. Even though I lost, I found my self-respect. And I wasn't the only one hurt that day. I have never taken a whipping without fighting back again. I do not bend to pressure. My mind and my will is my own.

    Spit or get out the pot?

    No, don't really have a favorite.
    I'm motivated by my awesome friends here...for real.

    And I can always use more friends on MFP...and I'm usually a big encourager. Just one of those days today. :)

    "Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here...with a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, ****less, hopeless, heartless, fat-*kitten*, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey **** he is!
    Hallelujah!

    Holy ****!

    Haha the version I know is a lot more vulgar than that! I agree with MFP friends. I'm constantly adding new friends to encourage and get motivation from. Some of the stories here are amazing and inspiring! I love my MFP friends!
