I truly believe positive thoughts contribute to reaching our goals. My favorites:

Finish what you started.

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Nobody can do it for you.

Look at what you've accomplished so far, you can do more!

What is your mantra?

    My all around motivational, comforting, and reassuring mantra is "If you want chaos, look around. If you want peace, look up."

    After I get with that everything else is somewhat manageable.

    I solve peoples' problems all day long. When I come home it's like working a second shift. The hour-an-a-half that I'm at the gym, I don't have my phone near me, I can't see all the housework I need to do, no one needs attending to.

    So my motivational mantra is:

    "This is MY time!"

    Stop being mediocre.

    Fabulous isn't easy- if it was- everyone would do it.

    WERK.

    Don't worry about tomorrow, do what you need to do today.

    "Suck it up now so you don't have to suck it in later."

    Also the quote in my ticker is what goes through my mind everyday.

    Too blessed to be stressed....it's my reminder to focus on what's positive in my life, not stress out about things I have no control over.

    This is a bit of a longer one, but a very wise lady once told me:

    "Don't waste your 30's wishing you were still in your 20's. When you're forty, thirty will seem very young to you. Then you will wish you hadn't spent those years looking for something that could never be. Be the very best that you can be NOW. Every age has its light."

    I think you can insert any age group into that statement, and it makes sense.
