What inspiring message or call to action appears on your MFP profile page?

I'm borrowing this idea from one of my MFP pals. It led to a fun and inspiring thread on his page. Here goes.....
MFP allows you to post an inspiring message or commitment to yourself on your profile page. A lot of people use this field to include an inspiring quote or share a personal mantra or make a commitment to themselves.
Mine used to read "Determined to lose 100+ pounds."
These days, it reads "Working just as hard at this maintenance thing as I did at losing weight (because this is forever)."
What does yours read?

Mine says, "Live One Day At A Time"
Here's a blog I wrote which explains why:

"Life's too short!"
My best friend and I rode German (BMW) motorcycles and on a whim he had "Life's too short to ride a Jap bike" painted on his helmet. Eventually he shortened it to simply "Life's too short!" He passed away from cancer at the age of 54 so I assumed the motto in remembrance of him.0 -
Wow, those are both powerful stories, @BRaye325 and @beemerphile1 Thanks for sharing them.0

Mine just says, excuses, excuses, that's why we get fat! The story of my life. I always had an excuse to not exercise or eat that second or third piece of cake.0

Mine is "Longevity is useless without vitality."0

@happytrails7...love it!
Mine simply says " I will never give up" which is true cause I'm 62 and still fighting.0 -

My original one was "We are responsible for our own happiness" - Aristotle0

Very true, @BRaye3250

Mine says, "Time to take care of me!" Because I took care of my son, then my parents, then foster kids, then adoptive kids, last year my husband battling cancer. It's my turn!0

Mine just says 'The 10th cookie doesn't taste any better than the first cookie.'. I am a mindless eater at times and this phrase reminds me not to overeat. Especially delicious, fabulous, mouthwatering treats. It is a battle t say the least.0

Yes, I have been making sure not to sit down with an open bag or container of anything and it really has helped. I always measure and put my food on a plate or in a bowl.0 -
@nikkib0103 I tend to be a mindless eater, too..cannot have any cookies, crackers, or chips in the house. I have a problem eating just a portion..have to eat the entire sleeve.0

I still remember this one night when I was watching TV and I ate a whole bag of Pepperidge Farm Double Chocolate Milano. I felt sick as a dog and the next day I actually felt like I had a hangover...0

How about "my world is expanding as my butt is shrinking"0

I was thinking of changing mine to "Larger bass, smaller ***" .............................................................................................................. but my wife won't let me.
Well at 90lbs lost and having caught a larger bass in my lake last night, I decided to do it anyway. New photo & slogan posted. It may only be up until my wife sees it. Ha! 0 -

I like this. Applies to plenty of areas in life.0 -
It isn't on this profile, but on another of my profiles on another site...
"This time, I'm going to be stronger, I'm not giving in."
It's a song by Rudimental that I heard in a spin class at the start of 2014. This was when I told myself that I was going to dedicate myself to a full year of effort, no matter what. I kind of adopted it as my theme song. So far, it is working... 75 pounds down, 40 to go.

Mine says, "Changing the world and my pants size..."0

"It doesn't get easier. YOU GET STRONGER!!!" This reminds me that doing the hard work makes me better, whether it is adding an extra 100 yards to a run or an extra push-up or squat to a workout. When I go out the next time I will be stronger because of the work I did the previous day.0
