    Adversity doesn't build character..... it reveals it.

    Reap What You Sow.

    Fill your head with positive thoughts and there will be no room for negative ones.

    I like the "There will never be a better time than now" -Mxpx from Amandakent0585!

    One I think of is:

    "Never give up, never surrender"

    and a simple one we've all heard:

    "You can do it!"

    I have a ton of them and choose a different one to use during my workout every day.

    Pain is weakness leaving the body
    Rest when you’re dead
    Squats are better than supplements
    Suck it up buttercup
    Punish your weakness
    That’s not sweat. It’s my body crying.
    I don’t use machines, I am a machine
    Every time a girl deadlifts an angel gets their wings
    Can’t breathe. Can’t move. Can’t get enough.
    Blood is replaceable. Sweat is expected. Tears are optional.
    Train not to suck at life
    World domination one workout at a time
    Run. Jump. Lift. Squat. Puke. Repeat.
    Who needs oxygen?
    Train insane or remain the same!
    Blood, sweat and tears are inevitable… puking is optional.
    There is only stronger or weaker.
    Sacrifice is a virtue. Salvation is a crutch.
    I fear no one. But I fear my workout. If I don’t fear my workout, then it isn’t hard enough.
    I will give everything I have. And then I will find more within myself.
    Trample the weak. Hurdle the dead.
    Stop making excuses. No one is listening.
    Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
    You can cry, just don’t be a baby about it.
    Be your own hero
    Old body… R.I.P. New body… R.I.P.P.E.D.
    You know you worked hard when you start seeing dead relatives.
    Fitness goals are fitness dreams with deadlines.
    Getting fit is the most important thing I will do in my life.
    The lightness of athleticism is an attainable goal.
    I am already strong. I’m getting stronger.
    I control of what I put in my body.
    Do it the hard way. No shortcuts!
    It’s not up to anyone else to make me give my best.
    The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in my determination.
    Be better than the day before.
    There are only two options regarding commitment; you’re either in or you’re out. There’s no such thing as life in-between.
    I am done being unhealthy. I am changing my life.
    I am capable of much more than I realize.
    Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.
    I never regret when I do it, but I always regret when I don’t.
    I meet the challenge every day.
    I am supple, sculpted and fit.
    I am strong, agile and athletic.
    I am achieving the body I want.
    Food is fuel, not pleasure.
    Work will win when wishing won’t.

    I have a few (some repeats of others):

    1. They can because they think they can.
    2. Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
    3. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. (I keep thinking about the truth of this).
    4. In the end what we regret most are the chances we never took. (hope I don't have a lot of those regrets).
    5. Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right. (paraphrased but this is my favorite).

    Close to graduation from Basic Training...my battle got hemorroids and while doing situps and other ground work he started bleeding and got his shorts completely soaked in blood. My battle stopped and was close to throwing in the towel...the Drill came over and yells, "Suck it up and drive on!"

    SUCK IT UP AND DRIVE ON!

    Haha, my fave is already taken but I like trying to change negative into positive.

    If you think you can't, you won't. If you think you can, you will.

    And before you say you can't, re-check what you are doing. You are probably doing it already so the thought that you can't, is stalemate. More practice will make you better. You won't notice until you've already done it, that you ARE. Its not that you can't, you ARE doing it. And don't compare yourself to the next person. Everyone's fitness levels are different. While you're moving, you are winning. If you give it your best, you've won already.

    "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
    i completely disagree with this one. Lots of things taste and feel really good. Sry for those of u that posted this one. I hate this quote. There are better variations.. Like nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.. Or nothing tastes as good as being fit feels.. Thin shouldn't be anyone's only goal. Just my opinion but a lot of growth needs to happen if the only goal in life is to be thin. And if being thin = attractive or healthy I also disagree. I know plenty of unattractive unhealthy very thin ppl.
    *typed too fast! Lots of typos!

    "Sooner or later those who win are those who think they can!"

    "You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it"

    "Move out of your comfort zone, you can only grow if you are willing to feel akward and uncomfortable when you try something new"

    "All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another" This is one of my favorites!


    I could go on with these all day! :)
    I absolutely love that u have quotes for everything :) love u woman!
