    Here are three I just found this week. Well, two, one's a joke:

    Don't give up what you really want for what you want right now!

    It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God. C. S. Lewis

    Wisdom from my wise sister: With time, we may get fat because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror, I will think, "Good grief, look how smart I am!"

    Success is not a race, be patient.
    Success leads to success.
    Success is always a work in progress.
    Success doesn't come to you--you go to it.
    Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process.
    Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it.
    Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying.
    Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED!
    If at first you don't succeed-try, try again.....

    Here are just a few of my favorites that a friend of mine sends me every morning.
    'Do it for the body, for the confidence, for the pride. To look back and say, "never again." But, most importantly, do it for you.'
    'Earn your body today'
    'Your mind will always give before your body does. Keep pushing. Its always worth it.'

    Something my mom said that resonated with me. She's struggled with her weight for years, pretty much since she had my sister and I, but she's one of the hardest working people, both in life and exercise, that I've ever met. "I might never win the fight, but I'll never stop fighting. Because if I had, God knows where I'd be right now."

    not really exercise related but motivational non-the-less

    ‎"I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***ing deli without hearing or seeing me'. "

    - Lady Gaga

    edit: can't spell...
