    "All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible"
    T.H Lawrence

    I just love this quote... I daydream constantly and I do often act out what I dream!!

    Though your heart may pound
    And you may be short of breath,
    Never quit
    For quitting my friend,
    is a fate worse than death.

    "The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi (did I mention I'm a Wisconsinite?)

    "He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." - Aeschylus, famous playwright from 525 b.c.

    Don't get upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    and of course

    Always look on the bright side of life!

    A year from now you will wish you had started today.

    It doesn't matter where you are, you are nowhere compared to where you can go.

    Never too old, never too bad, never too late, never too sick to start from scratch once again.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Even if you stumble, you’re still moving forward.

    “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” -Maria Robinson

    If nothing changes then nothing changes.

    “Each person’s task in life is to become an increasingly better person.” -Leo Tolstoy

    “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” –Michael Jordan

    “To create more positive results in your life, replace ‘if only’ with ‘next time.’”

    “Fear, uncertainty and discomfort are your compasses toward growth.”

    “20 years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the one’s you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

    These are all great!

    Here are a couple of my favs...

    Tell me I can't, I'll show you I can!

    Train like your stronger, fitter evil twin is plotting to kill you!

    We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle
  • **My newest fave: You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off! Perfect!

    **Success is the sum of small efforts, day in and day out. So no effort is too small, dont forget it!

    **When you feel tired during your run, think of all the people who cant even walk and what they would give to be able to run, then run even harder for them! How true we take forgranted that we can walk,run, swim, etc! Enjoy your ability to do those things for those who cant. Let that be what pushes you harder!!

    **Stop rewarding yourself with food, you are not a dog!

    **Suck it up, so one day you won't have to suck it in.

    **Fat lasts longer than flavor

    **What you eat in private, you wear in public

    ** I don't have time, is the grownup version of the dog ate my homework. If you have time to watch tv, then yes you do have time to lose weight.

    **Don't give up what you want most for what you want right now.

    **It's not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not

    **DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT YOU WANT! DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT YOUR ENTITLED TOO

    **Would you rather be covered in sweat or covered in clothes at the beach?

    **if you are TIRED of starting over, quit giving up

    **No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch

    **A huge part of losing weight is believing you can do it and realizing that it isn't going to happen overnight.

    **Unless you faint puke or die, keep going!


    I will stop.. I could go on for days! :)

    The man who in view of gain thinks of righteousness; who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends - such a man may be reckoned a complete man.
    -Confucius

    Hi All!

    I love quotes and am always trolling google for new ones....today my quote is:

    If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. – Bruce Lee

    What words keep you going when you're feeling like you need a boost?

    :smile:


    KNOW Your LIMITATIONS and HALF the battle is WON!
    (See we all - Humans are Finite, so when we learn what we are not capable of DOING we can then Marshall our forces/strengths on our goals/purposes and Be the BEST at what we are able to DO!)

    “You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the **** on.”

    " "Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever" - Lance Armstrong "

    I misread that as QUILTING lasts forever.

    I used the Babelfish online translator once to read an Italian sports paper (I was prepping for an Italian exam), and it translated Lance Armstrong as "Nozzles Armstrong" all the way through the article. I've thought of him as Nozzles ever since.
