    "If the world decides to catch up with me, it's a little victory." That's my motivator for life. It's from a song by Matt Nathanson and I'm getting the title "Little Victories" tattooed on me in the coming weeks ;)
  • If I can't, then who else can?
  • I haven't been able to find a quote for this but I heard somebody say this one time and it sounded exactly like what I needed:

    "You're more likely to change the way you think by changing the way you act than to change the way you act by trying to change the way you think"
  • " I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't"
    OR
    " Don't be mad with the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do"
  • "Every passing minute, is a chance to turn things around."


    I think of this when I feel so lazy to work out and have to push myself out of bed...

    "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading."
    ~Lao Tzu

    It's either a warning or it's a thumbs up and so perfectly simple.
  • When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on tight.
  • "No matter how slow I go, I am still lapping everyone on the couch."

    There's no better revenge than looking good.

    And I prove it by just staying cool before my "friends" who used to make fun of my diet and workouts.
  • "I'm not where I need to be, but thank God, I'm not where I used to be...I'm okay, and I'm on my way."

    -Joyce Meyer
  • "Make winter a reason, not an excuse." -Gary Allen, RD of MDI Marathon

    Love that quote this time of year!
  • If you think that you can or if you think that you can't, you're right.
  • If you are tired of starting over- stop giving up!

    Love this.

    I can't remember who said it or exactly how they said it, but someone in a forum on here once said that it's not motivation, but determination, that will get you to your goals. That's really stuck with me ever since I read it.
  • People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that' why we recommend it daily. Zig Ziglar

    "This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, in it's place is something you have left behind, let it be something good" -Author Unknown

    As posted by someone previously...I really like this!

    Sylvester Stallone in Rocky Balboa (2006)

    "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!"

    Mostly I just talk smack to myself in my interior monologue and call myself "mother f•••er"a bunch.

    Hey, it works for me :-)
