    I saw and heard Muhammed Ali say this in a commercial a long while back. Not sure who said it originally.

    Impossible is nothing.

    One I've heard that comes in handy during a tough workout, "I don't stop when I'm tired. I stop when I'm finished."

    "Just do it!" - Nike

    "Try SOMETHING! If it works, do more of it, if it doesn't, try something else."

    "You are what you eat!" - I have heard this one so many times but have really bought into it over the last year or so!! I really don't want people to see me as a Big Mac ;)

    My favorite was given to me by an older gentleman at the pool...I was telling him that I don't swim "pretty" or fast, but it is a start. He got quiet and said -- "Don't worry about anyone else. Look at it this way; you just lapped every single person sitting on the couch doing nothing." It really helped me to hear that from a stranger. So now, instead of being self conscience in my bathing suit, I am proud I am in one and doing the work! :)

    Pretty awesome!
    I love that!!

    The voice inside your head that says you can't do this is a liar.

    You can do this.

    The measure of success is not the length of time it takes to reach the goal, but in the number of times you get back up after stumbling.

    Got this one from another MFP profile and it struck a chord with me.

    "Believe in yourself and know that you'll cross the finish line.
    No one can want it bad enough for you.
    You have to want it for yourself - and more than anything ..."

    My new fav:
    Strive for PROGRESS,
    NOT Perfection!!

    Someone shared these yesterday...

    Hang these up where you can see them.

    1.Good better best. Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is your best.
    2.Don't WANT for it. WORK for it.
    3.Success is nearest to those whose efforts are intense and sincere.
    4.If you still look cute at the end of your workout, you didn't train HARD ENOUGH.
    5.You haven't failed until you QUIT trying.
    6.Instead of focusing on the weight of your body going down, focus on the weight of your dumbbells going UP.
    7.No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch.
    8.Wake up with DETERMINATION. Go to bed with SATISFACTION.
    9.The difference between TRY and TRIUMPH is a little UMPH.
    10.If you skip today, then what was yesterday for? (This is good for those doing an every-day program like P90X)
    11.Pain is WEAKNESS leaving the body.
    12.Your feet hurt because you're kicking so much *kitten*!

    Heard a guy in the gym yesterday that just spoke volumes to me. His friend was with him looking and sounding despondant;

    'I'm not looking forward to this...'
    'What you on about, shut up, smash it and go home'

    LOVED this

    Vin Diesel's 'It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning.'

    'You're only competing against yourself'

    'Excuses don't burn calories'

    "Falling down a step or two doesn't mean you go all the way back to bottom to start again."

    You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.
