This poem by Charles Simic:
Fear
Fear passes from man to man
Unknowing,
As one leaf passes its shudder
To another.
All at once the whole tree is trembling.
And there is no sign of the wind

A lot of what CT says motivates me. I'm not the type to want happy/cheery types when I'm working out. I've worked with a few trainers and physical therapists, aalways tell them I'm looking for someone to push me. I don't want pity and I'm not giving any excuses.

"Burn the ships."
I'm finding this very motivational right now. It came from an online Muscle and Fitness article about the workout of Tom Hopper and the cast of Black Sails and their gym's motto of "Burn the ships.". It's about not looking back and only going forward. So I'm not worrying about the starts and stops of the past and focusing on making sustainable changes going forward.3 -

Looking for a motivational quotes has one major flaw...It means you're looking for motivation, which is fleeting. Look to make habits and you'll never need motivation again.Looking for a motivational quotes has one major flaw...It means you're looking for motivation, which is fleeting.

This was kind of a buzz kill. Sometimes I need motivation just to get out of bed in the morning, doesn't mean I haven't made a habit out of it.

This is going to sound silly and kind of wrong at first, by hear me out. The dance coach in Bring It On said
"Imagine what you usually eat. Now divide that in half. This is called a diet."
Obviously, those girls didn't need to go on diets, dieting that way can be harmful, especially for teenagers, etc, etc, but it kind of blew my mind because at the time I was trying to over-engineer my eating and exercise regimen when really, it is as simple as eating less = losing weight.
Half a chocolate bar instead of the whole thing...I can do that.3 -

Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's unbecoming everything that isn't you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.2

I have gone as far as taking the glass out of some pictures I have framed. Then I spray paint the glass with chalk board paint and then put them back in the frames. I have a couple of these around the apartment and rotate the sayings. It helps to "re-program" my brain!6 -
