    From a favorite song:
    "If I don't like my life I'll gut it, rebuild it fvk it... keep nothing but God and my children. I kill the devil, wherever he resides... so even if he's hiding in me... he gotta die.
    ... one half of all the two legged on the scene are too timid to dream...cause failure is far too depressing so it seems that they take what's given... that's your decision i just don't consider that living."


    And what I've made up for a mantra is:

    I will break my body down ... tear myself apart ... and will emerge on the other side ... "unrecognizably better" ... a metamorphosis complete... becoming the man I desire to be... by destroying what I am now... through the suffering I will become hardened ... stronger... focussed...i will be "worth keeping" "worth loving"...

    Etc. I switch it up depending on the events of the day ... the "..." are usually exactly in those spots.

    I like it simple: Strive for progress, not perfection.

    It helps me when I start feeling negative about having to modify with exercises or I go over a little on calories. Everything I am doing now is better than what I was doing before. I just got to keep moving forward.

    @Penthesilea514 I love that outlook! I, too, sometimes get down on myself for not being able to do as much as I think I should be able to (in a workout or in terms of eating), but I also know that while I'm not a fitness guru I am definitely a lot better off than before! Thanks for sharing! :)

    Someone who wants to do something, will do it. Someone who doesn't, won't.

    "If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all" Michelangelo

    Definitely can be applied to staying lean and strong, looks easy but it takes a lot of work.
