    I don't know who said it but all day here is what I run through my mind:

    "A year from now you will have wished you started today"

    Every year on vacations, birthdays, holidays I resolve to not be heavy by the next year and then beat myself up when I am, so this helps me remember that feeling.

What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.

    Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

    You can't go back and make a new beginning, but you can start today and create your happy ending.

    "Why do I succeed? I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shackled by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions but I drink them in and then swallow them away to the blackness of hell. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak and kills their heart from within. If I fall... I will get up. If I am beaten... I will return. I will never stop getting better. I will never give up... EVER. That is why I succeed." This is what's gonna get me through the day =)

    "use this in life in general but my this was the first words my trainer said to me when I said I Cant!:

    Invictus

    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll.
    I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul.
    William Ernest Henley

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson

    Love this topic!

    I have a few:

    Your not going to get the butt you want by sitting on the one you have!

    Do NOT reward your self with food, you're not a dog.

    People who say it can not be done should not interrupt those who are doing it!

    And my favorite
         
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.

    Some great quotes posted here! This is my current favorite, and although it isn't specifically about health/weight-loss it really gets me fired up to reach my goals.

    you should listen to a song by a guy named "Keb Mo'" its called "let your light shine" and I love it! your quote reminded me of the song...the lyrics go.....So get out of the way and let your light shine, let your love show....its a short ride, down a long road....
    I'll check it out, thanks! :)
