Then, when you need a boost, check out some of these gems to lift your spirits.
Here are a few of my favorites:
“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. ~Christopher Robin to Pooh”
A. A. Milne
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.”
Theodore Roosevelt
“A goal without a plan is like a racecar without a steering wheel. It may be fast but it’s going to crash at the first turn.”
Dave Eves
Our stomach shouldn't be a waist basket.
ReplyDeleteI remember this quote from a book I read a long time ago. " One should eat to live not live to eat" - Cicero- I hope to finally apply this in my life.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple Work out videos from Jillian Michael's that I borrowed from my friend. Jillian says something that I loved and wanted to share... I Googled it and all I found were the ones I pasted on here below.
ReplyDeleteBut what she said was something like:
"This is tough! I get it! But if we are going to make big promises to you, we have to deliver! And if you just keep going... that is when change happens!"

"Be brave and be patient. Have faith in yourself; trust in the significance of your life and the purpose of your passion. You are strong enough to sit in the space between spaces and allow divine inspiration to shed some light. When you put positive energy and productive effort into the world it will come back to you. Occasionally in ways you might not immediately understand and on a time frame you didn’t expect. Look. Listen. Learn. Stay open. Your destiny is awaiting you."

ReplyDeleteMelanie posted this in her "Events/Goals" post and I think it's great, so I'm adding it here also.

Thanks Melanie!
"I need you to take care of yourself, find 'ME time' (exercise, meditation, yoga). When you take care of yourself, you ‘fill your well’, you can dig deep and there is more that you can give back to your kids, your husband, friends and co-workers. It's Important!"

I was given this quote in YW when I was maybe 16 and I decided to repeat it daily or as often as I could. I had it memorized. It really helped me to realize that I AM THE ONE IN CONTROL OF HOW I FEEL AND WHAT I DO,NO ONE CAN MAKE ME FEEL ANYTHING UNLESS I LET IT GET TO ME...
ReplyDeletePromise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to everyone you meet.
To make everyone you know feel that there is something good in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble in your mind.
Christy Larson
