    An all time favorite quote, take it however it fits into your life:

    "Heaven's not a place where you go when you die; it's that moment in life when you finally feel alive."

    My apologies, it's "actually", not "finally".

    Two of my favorites:

    1. "Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier" - Colin Powell
    2. "It ain't about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you CAN get hit and keep moving forward" - Sylvester Stallone as Rocky

    I have several, related and unrelated to weight loss/dieting:

    One hundred years from now, it will not matter
    how much money I had in my bank account,
    how big my house was,
    or what kind of car I drove.

    But the world might be different
    because I was important
    in the life of a child.

    In every passionate pursuit, it is not the object that is being pursued, but the journey. -- Bruce Lee

    God never gives you more than you can handle.

    Lead, follow or get out of the way.

    It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

    It's only failure when you quit trying.

    Sorry, I don't know the authors of the above.

    These quotes truly are motivational. My favorites have been from Goethe. He had an amazing mind.

    Stay strong and committed everyone!

    Look good and feel even better.

    It's not whether you win or lose.....
    It's how you place the blame!

    they wouldn't bump there *kitten* so much....

    I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

    One of my friends here on MFP has this in her signature:

    "If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up"

    I love it.

    "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"

    (not my quote, but I hear it a lot in different situations)

    When I'm running a marathon, I repeat "this is easy" over and over to myself, especially at mile 24!
