    Ah, since I see we can do multiples...

    There is no losing in ________ (apply your sport here), there is only winning and learning.

    Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a dream, today is all that exists. Old Zen maxim

    The road is yours, and yours alone. Others can walk it with you, but nobody can walk it for you. Unknown

    I have "Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful" on a door in my bathroom. Something so simple makes me smile and I think it's a great message for my step-daughters.

    “A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought.”
    ― Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

    “He wrapped himself in quotations - as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.”
    ― Rudyard Kipling, Many Inventions

    “[A] quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business."

    (The Record Lie)”
    ― A.A. Milne, If I May

    “Be careful--with quotations, you can damn anything.”
    ― André Malraux

    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
    Signifying nothing. — Macbeth

    I've collected a bunch on my Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/anyatika/inspire/

    I have this one hanging above my desk in my kitchen as it applies to school, getting healthy, and everything else:

    A few of my favorites are .....
    "Misunderstood by Most ,Underestimated by Many !!!"
    "Be yourself ,who else is better qualified !"
    "The most dangerous place in the world is between a mother and her kids"
    "Sometimes your the bug,sometimes your the windshield "
    "Don't let people make you or break you ...Be yourself,Be unique,Stand out in a crowd "
    I have others I like also,I love poetry ,I have a book full of poems I have written and some are more like quotes ,I shared a part of one of mine above but not all of it.
    This is a great feed, I know this is a weight loss site but I think it is important to show our likes and dislikes so we can better help each other,because you can't help someone without knowing some history and who the person is and what makes them tick :) Yeah I just went all deep but that's just me :)

    I have a few. The one I keep on the lock screen of my phone is: I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.
    The one I keep on the wall by the treadmill is: If you feel like giving up, remember why you started. and If you are tired of starting over, don't stop trying.

    No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. ~ Hebrews 12:11

    That has always stuck with me when it came to my weight loss journey. It's tough but I will reap the rewards in the end.
