What's your Motivational Song?

My motivational song is on the radio right now and I love it!!! :heart: The words are so perfect for my weight loss journey--It's "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus...here is the lyrics, but what is YOURS? Please share!!! Thanks! :smile:

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

    I don't know that its exactly motivational, but it gets me pumped up to get on the treadmill. It's called Ready Steady Go by l'arc en ciel. It's in japanese, so i have no idea what they say, except for "ready, steady, go".

    My favorite song to run to is B.O.B. by Outkast. It's not motivational in a lyrical sense, but it sure does get me fired up to push through my workout.

    Eminem feat Nate Dogg - Till I Collapse

    The intro really gets me going:

    [Intro:]
    'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
    Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
    But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
    And just pull that *kitten* out of you and get that motivation to not give up
    And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

    and the hook takes me to another level:

    Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
    Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
    Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
    I'ma rip this *kitten* till my bone collapse.
    Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
    Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
    Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
    I'ma rip this *kitten* till my bone collapse.


    Another one is Eminem's - Lose Yourself

    I've been dealing with crazy panic attacks lately. Been affraid
    to go back to the gym until yesterday. Took me 6 days to get
    up the nerve to go back, and this really kept me going even
    when my chest felt tight, and got a little dizzy.

    Bodies being ME!


    "Bodies" DROWNING POOL

    Let the bodies hit the floor
    Let the bodies hit the floor
    Let the bodies hit the floor
    Let the bodies hit the floooooor
    Beaten why for (why for)
    Can't take much more
    Here we go!
    Here we go!
    Here we go!
    One - Nothing wrong with me
    Two - Nothing wrong with me
    Three - Nothing wrong with me
    Four - Nothing wrong with me

    One - Something's got to give
    Two - Something's got to give
    Three - Something's got to give
    Now
    Let the bodies hit the floor
    Let the bodies hit the floor
    Let the bodies hit the flooooor
    Let the bodies hit the floor
    Let the bodies hit the floor
    Let the bodies hit the flooooor
    Now!
    Push me again
    This is the end

    Skin against skin blood and bone
    You're all by yourself but you're not alone
    You wanted in now you're here
    Driven by hate
    consumed by fear
    Let the bodies hit the floor
    Let the bodies hit the floor

  • Thanks for everyone's input!!! Mine was more of a mind motivation rather than physical motivation--I have LOTS of those--love my 80's music!!!

    I also love the new song by Kelly Clarkson called "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"--Amen to that!!!!!! LOL....

    This is so embarrassing, but what the heck.

    This song is not a LIFE motivating song (I keep those to myself), but it does inspire me to push a little harder when I hear it at the gym.... I don't know why. It just makes me feel like a the spotlight is on me, and I can do anything. Or whatever.


    "Firework" by Katy Perry


    Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
    Drifting through the wind
    Wanting to start again?
    Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
    Like a house of cards,
    One blow from caving in?

    Do you ever feel already buried deep?
    6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
    Do you know that there's still a chance for you
    'Cause there's a spark in you

    You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine
    Just own the night like the 4th of July

    'Cause baby you're a firework
    Come on, show 'em what you're worth
    Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
    As you shoot across the sky-y-y

    Baby, you're a firework
    Come on, let your colours burst
    Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
    You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"

    You don't have to feel like a wasted space
    You're original, cannot be replaced
    If you only knew what the future holds
    After a hurricane comes a rainbow

    Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
    So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
    Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
    And when it's time, you'll know

    You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine
    Just own the night like the 4th of July

    'Cause baby you're a firework
    Come on, show 'em what you're worth
    Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
    As you shoot across the sky-y-y

    Baby, you're a firework
    Come on, let your colours burst
    Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
    You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"

    Boom, boom, boom
    Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
    It's always been inside of you, you, you
    And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

    'Cause baby you're a firework
    Come on, show 'em what you're worth
    Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
    As you shoot across the sky-y-y

    Baby, you're a firework
    Come on, let your colours burst
    Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
    You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"

    Boom, boom, boom
    Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
    Boom, boom, boom
    Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

    Revelation Lyrics Third Day
    Third Day Lyrics – Revelation Song Words

    Song Words by Artist / Band : Third Day
    Lyrics Title : Revelation
    Available on Album : Revelation
    Single Released : -
    Music Genre : Rock, christian contemporary music

    My life has led me down the road that’s so uncertain
    And now I am left alone and I am broken,
    Tryin’ to find my way, tryin’ to find the faith that’s gone

    This time, I know that you are holding all the answers
    I’m tired of losing hope and taking chances,
    On roads that never seem,
    To be the ones that bring me home

    Give me a revelation,
    Show me what to do
    Cause I’ve been tryin’ to find my way,
    I haven’t got a clue
    Tell me should I stay here,
    Or do I need to move
    Give me a revelation
    I’ve got nothing without You
    I’ve got nothing without You

    My life has led me down this path that’s ever winding
    Through every twist and turn I’m always finding,
    That I am lost again (I am lost again)
    Tell me when this road will ever end
    Give me a revelation,
    Show me what to do
    Cause I’ve been tryin’ to find my way,
    I haven’t got a clue
    Tell me should I stay here,
    Or do I need to move
    Give me a revelation
    I’ve got nothing without You
    I’ve got nothing without

    I don’t know where I can turn
    Tell me when will I learn
    Won’t You show me where I need to go
    Oh oh
    Let me follow Your lead,
    I know that it’s the only way that I can get back home

    Give me a revelation,
    Show me what to do
    Cause I’ve been trying to find my way,
    I haven’t got a clue
    Tell me should I stay here,
    Or do I need to move
    Give me a revelation
    I’ve got nothing without You
    I’ve got nothing without You

    Oh, give me a revelation

    I’ve got nothing without You
    I’ve got nothing without You

    I waited for
    I can't be broken
    I settled the score
    I will not quit
    So stand up, up, up

    Stand up
    Get your hands up
    Move
    Are you ready to
    Are you ready to

    Stand up
    Get your hands up
    Move
    Are you ready to kick *kitten*

    Stand up

    Work through the pain

    I will remain
    I will not quit
    So stand up, up, up

    Stand up
    Get your hands up
    Move
    Are you ready to
    Are you ready to

    Stand up
    Get your hands up
    Move
    Are you ready to kick *kitten*

    "It's a Great Day to be Alive" by Travis Tritt

    I got rice cooking in the microwave
    Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
    And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say
    Hey I'm doing alright

    Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup
    Feelin pretty good and that's the truth
    It's neither drink nor drug induced
    No I'm just doin alright

    And it's a great day to be alive
    I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes
    There's some hard times in the neigborhood
    But why can't every day be just this good?

    It's been fifteen years since I left home
    Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
    Give it my best and then I left it alone
    Oh...I hope their doin alright

    Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?
    A lone wolf there starin back at me
    Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
    Lord I guess he's doin alright

    And it's a great day to be alive
    I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes
    There's some hard times in the neigborhood
    But why can't every day be just this good?

    Sometimes it's lonely
    Sometimes it's only me
    And the shadows that fill this room
    Sometimes I'm fallin
    Desperately callin
    Howlin at the moon...
    Ahwoo!
    Ahwoo!

    Well I might go get me a new tattoo
    Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise
    Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu...
    Oh Aww!

    And it's a great day to be alive
    I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes
    There's some hard times in the neigborhood
    But why can't every day be just this good?

    And it's a great day to be alive
    I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes
    There's some hard times in the neigborhood
    But why can't every day be just this good?

    Some how or another, this song seems to show up on the radio when I'm having days where I think if just one more horrible thing happens it will be too much. I can't help but laugh and cry my way through it. Especially after hearing the story about this song's inspiration. According to an interview with Travis Tritt, this song was written when his back went out while he was home alone and stranded for 3 days until a neighbor found him on his hall floor. I'll bet the day they found him really WAS a great day to be alive.

    and the hook takes me to another level:

    YES. Love this song, but then again Nate Dogg could record himself reading the Orange County phone book and I would listen to it. lol I love his voice.

    up the nerve to go back, and this really kept me going even
    when my chest felt tight, and got a little dizzy.

    When I read things like this, it makes me so much more aware of the struggles other people have to push through ... most people take -going to the gym- for granted, they only battle their own motivation levels-
    You, my friend, are kicking *kitten* double time, just by getting there...
    and you are so awesome for doing it.
    very motivational for me! I have struggled with depression, but I am no longer under that cloak.
    Thank you! Keep on courageously protecting freedom, fighting fears and anxieties and getting stronger.

    I'm not ashamed to admit this, but "Sexy Back" from JT. It just motivates me to bring back sexy, and by sexy I mean my confidence back.

    Another song has to be Eye of a tiger. I don't know ANY of the lyrics, but the moment the music begins, motivation arises..haha

    "Brand New Day" - Ryan Star
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIUHFNqFkK8&feature=related

    I've stayed in one place for too long
    Gotta get on the run again
    I saw the one thing that I want
    Hell bent, get outta bed
    I'm throwing rocks at your window
    You're tying the bed sheets together
    They say that we're dreaming too big
    I say this town's too small

    Dream
    Send me a sign
    Turn back the clock
    Give me some time
    I need to break out
    And make a new name
    Let's open our eyes
    To the brand new day
    It's a brand new day

    I've taken hits like a brother
    But I'm getting back up again
    And from the moment I saw her
    I was hell bent with heaven sent
    I'm throwing rocks at your window
    We're leaving this place together
    They say that we're flying too high
    Well get used to looking up

    Dream
    Send me a sign
    Turn back the clock
    Give me some time
    I need to break out
    And make a new name
    Let's open our eyes
    To the brand new day
    It's a brand new day

    It's a brand new day
    I know it's a brand new day
    Come on to the brand new day
    I know it's a brand new day

    Dream
    Send me a sign
    Turn back the clock
    Give me some time
    I need to break out
    And make a new name
    Let's open our eyes
    To the brand new day
    It's a brand new day
