    “….the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people…..Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want something.”

    Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture

    I highly suggest reading the book or watching the actual lecture on YouTube!
    I watched this lecture quite a while ago and had kind of forgotten about it. It was really good, and I think that I will watch it again for some more motivation. Thanks for the reminder!

    This comes from the "skinny songs" and I don't remember the ladys name. if you haven't heard the CD you should really listen to the songs, they are quite inspiring and funny....

    ^ I like this one.

    Here are mine:
    "The mind is everything. What you think you become." - Buddha
    "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu
    “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle

    And one I came up with by myself: Don't just dream. Pursue you dreams.

    "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily." --Zig Ziglar

    Lol! It's like trying to eating 7 apples, once a week, to keep the doctor away... it doesn't quite work like that!
    “There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.
    When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.”
    --Stacey Charter

    YES!!! I am not a cookie-cutter mold of anyone else, and if people don't like it, then tough! I am who I am! :happy:

    You've got a choice, you know. Just because you've done something, doesn't mean you have to keep doing it.

    "Time to nut up or shut up" ~Woody Harrelson

    Basically the whole poem, but specifically:
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
    ~Kipling

    Bunch of others I can't think of right now, will post later prolly

    What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
    Don't try to be anyone else but yourself and be that perfectly.

    Here are a couple of my favourites:

    "Pain is temporary. Quitting is forever" Lance Armstrong

    "You will never know your limits, unless you push yourself to them" unknown

    "No matter how slow you are going, you are still lapping everyone on the couch" unknown

    "There are only 2 choices: make progress or make excuses" unknown

    I love the Eleanor Roosevelt quotes, wise women...
