Every day is an opportunity to make your life the way you want
it to be. Anything is possible when you work toward it, one
day at a time. Skip a day, and you lose momentum. Try to do
it all at once, and you burn out. Steadily, consistently
work, making every day count, and you will reach your goals.
Today is a chance to grow - to do a little bit more than
you did yesterday, a little bit better, a little bit more
effectively. Anyone can do a little more, learn a little
more, and grow a little more each day. Soon, with consistent
effort, those "little bits" add up to major accomplishments.
Is there something you want to change? Today is the day to
start changing it. Is there a new customer you want to land?
Today is the day to start making it happen. Do you need to
lose weight? Today is the day to start doing it. Not next
Monday or next month - today. You deserve to reach your
goals as soon as possible. Control today and you control
your life.
- Ralph Marston

    That's awesome. We've got to remember to persist and to celebrate every step of the process! My new motto is: Every pound lost is a victory. A very wise man, working in a Brazilian landfill and talking about the difference recycling makes once said, "...99 [plastic bottles] is not 100." This is just as true with weight-loss and health related issues. Celebrate every pound, every lower number. Every step is it's own destination because "99 is not 100".

    Very nice post-

    Persistence pays off. Everything in moderation and you will accomplish anything you want.

    Also do not be so hard on yourself. Lose slowly and correctly. If you do that and make your life better, and be happy you will sustain the weight loss. If you try and do it all at once, then you are begging for trouble-

    Even in life, if you do everything small steps, and make yourself better every day you will accomplish your goal.
