    "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."

    I love this one, and it applies to just about everything! Some of my favorites are:

    "If I'd known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself." ~Leon Eldred

    "Adam and Eve ate the first vitamins, including the package." ~E.R. Squibb

    "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." ~Thomas Edison

    I never much liked this one because I feel that it encourages starvation methods. I do enjoy the others listed here, though! Thank you :)

    I have a crap load so here goes:

    Energy and persistence conquer all things. -Benjamin Franklin

    For last year's words belong to last year's language; next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning

    Life Begins at the end of your comfort zone.

    *How does one become a butterfly?
    You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar*~

    Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional" - Roger Crawford

    Obstacles are what we see when we take our eyes off the goal.

    I've learned that I AM in control and always HAVE been...... I just wasn't paying attention.

    "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but Im Not Where I Use To Be!"

    I cannot move forward if i continue to hold on to what's behind me. It's time to let go so that I will have both hands open to grab a hold of the future.

    “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”

    Yesterday, you said tomorrow.

    "There are no shortcuts to any place worth going."

    The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination.

    "So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?"

    Those who say it can't be done are usually interrupted by those doing it.

    The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.”- Vince Lombardi

    Willpower is something you generate on your own, not something you are born with!


    Motivation has to come from within that part of your soul that truly wants change."

    "Thoughts are energy, and you can make your world or break your world by your thinking."

    Failure is an event. It is never a person.

    Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.- Thomas Jefferson

    If you want tomorrow to be better, you have to do something different today.

    AND my all time fave : "If someone asks you what time it is, tell 'em "now". It's the only one that matters." -- Josh Homme

    Never thought of it that way. I like to use it as motivation to not eat sweets. Ice cream, cupcakes, chocolate, etc. ;)
