    My dad used to always say 'don't make mountains out of molehills,' meaning don't make a problem bigger than what it really is.

    My dad taught me this:

    Actions = Consequences.

    Whatever I do will have an effect somehow, good or bad and I need to accept the fact that if I make the choice knowing what the possible/probable repercussions will be, I cannot blame anyone but myself.

    I chose to do the action, and I will accept whatever comes of it. I choose to binge on pizza one night? I will take the sodium hit and scale change and not complain. I choose to break into someones house? I accept the fact that i if I am caught I could die from the homeowner taking a shot at me.

    Life is choices and we have to make the best ones for us and accept the fact that everything we do has a consequence. We need to accept that and by choosing to do an action, I also choose to accept the consequences of that action.

    The only thing you have absolute control over is yourself. You may be able to influence others, but if they're not listening then you just have to let go and move on.

    Love this one.

    "hide your kids, hide your wife"

    Hahaha, havent seen that video in a while.

    For gym advice, my friend once told me when I lacked motivation just ask myself "Why am I here?" Answering that question always gives a big boost!

    "Take care of you first, if you don't, then who will?"

    Mine is kind of like this one - "Stand up for yourself, if you don't then who will?"
    It's always stuck with me because I have always been 'the nice girl' aka a total pushover - people used to take advantage of my kindness and I wouldn't stand up for myself or what was right. That advice really changed me and my outlook. Now... I stand up for myself and what I believe in and it's taken me far in life.

    Do not compare yourself (or your journey) to others. Getting inspired by others is great, but stay focused on your game, and it's a journey, not a sprint.

    I love this one! I have to remind myself of this constantly :)

    "Don't let anyone get your goat! It is your goat and only you can determine what/who gets it!" ( I work in a stressful job, get yelled at, sworn at and often mistreated by the people calling in -AND I HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND TAKE IT)

    My favourite lyrics:

    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


    I try to live by that one. Thinks it's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard!

    "Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy." My momma, I don't know who originally said it, but she always used to quote it to me.
