    I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

    If you can't make time for exercise you'll eventually have to make time for illness.

    You can be sore tomorrow or you can be sorry tomorrow. You choose.

    Every bite you eat is an act of nourishment or an act of suicide.

    Of course it's hard. It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great.

    Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret.

    Do you want to be the kind of person who gets *kitten* done? Or do you want to be the kind of person who gets *kitten* on?

    Just DO IT.

    Sweat is fat crying.

    I love the last one! " Sweat is fat crying!" LOL

    "At the end of the day it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished....It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you have given back."
    (Denzel Washington)

    I have this on the homepage of my website. It is my favorite.

    I like
    "It is doesn't get easier, you just get better at it."

    And I put this one on my FB today:
    "Most people never get there. They're afraid or unwilling to demand enough of themselves and take the easy road, the path of least resistance. But struggling and suffering, as I now saw it, were the essence of a life worth living. If you're not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you're not constantly demanding more from yourself—expanding and learning as you go—you're choosing a numb existence. You're denying yourself an extraordinary trip."
    Dean Karnazes

    But my all time fav is
    "Focus all of your energy on being great: you don't need to chase anything. When you're great enough, everything that you could possibly want will chase you."
    Big Kenny

    I didnt read all the posts, but these are my favorites that ive found on MFP and saved throughout my time here . .


    We all deserve happiness, sometimes its just takes a painful journey to help you find it, so that you can then truly cherish and appreciate it.

    The Secret of Success is Discipline… which is built by consistently performing small acts of courage one step at a time.

    Seek within for areas that need change and then do something about it. Talking about change only allows you to hear what needs to be done in a louder version whereas, doing something to make the change allows you to see what was to what is now. Get up and do something!

    “Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

    "If you even dream of beating me, you’d better wake up and apologize!" — Muhammad Ali

    "The road to success is lined with many tempting parking spaces."

    It's a brave new world and it only grows newer all the time. Be prepared each day to not have a ****ing clue what's going on.

    There is never a guarantee in life only opportunities. When you spend all of your time worrying, stressing fears, you miss out on greater things.

    "When your legs give out...Run with your Heart"

    Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine

    Sometimes roads life is difficult because of our choices. Does not mean you do not deserve to be happy, just means we work harder so appreciate it when reached!

    Either you run the day or the day runs you

    Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. " --Arnold Bennett

    "Bad habits are like a comfortable bed; they are easy to get into, but hard to get out of...."

    Leave the past where it is, behind you, people and things change, live everyday as it was your last, never take anyone for granted, they could be gone tomorrow.

    Refuse to worry. You won't gain anything by worrying... in fact, you lose precious moments that you can never get back. To worry only steals your peace and joy.

    "Perseverance... Our greatest glory lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." ~ "If quitting is an option, you never intended to succeed.""

    Nobody ever accomplished anything by talking about it, so I'm a big fan of the "Just Do It" line. It's simple, but powerful.

    I also like "Pain is Temporary. Quitting lasts forever" .

    ‎"It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not."
    - James Gordon

    It may seem harsh to some people, but I tend to look at things more realistically. Willpower isn't enough without being ready for change. I can want to do a million things but if I'm not ready, it ain't happening.

    It comes down to a simple question: what do you want out of life, and what are you willing to do to get it?

    Anything is possible, It's your choice whether or not you choose to make IT happen."

    Your body keeps an accurate journal regardless of what you write down...

    "The way I see it, you have two choices: You can either throw in the towel or use it to wipe the sweat off your face."

    "Run like you stole something."

    "Columbus traveled the world in a sailboat. And I can't get to the gym?"

    "There are going to be people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say 'Watch me.' "

    If you open your mind too much, your brain will fall out. I know that has nothing to do with motivation, I just like it.

    The quote on my profile page....

    "Embracing the energy within yourselves will bring you to a new understanding and value of life. A vision that will inspire you to live and love on planet earth as you are becoming aware of yourself, as a Gamemaster."

    And another quote that's damn sure true....

    Someone once asked the Dalai Lama "What suprises him the most?" His response was: "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present. The result being that he does not live in the present or the future. He lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived."
