Inspiring Quotes?

Hey all! I'm having kind of a bad day, and was wondering if anyone would like to post any inspirational quotes to keep us motivated?

I'll start with a favorite of mine:

"Try to realize it's all within yourself,

No one else can make you change."

- From Within you, Without you, The Beatles (A George Harrison song)

Someone actually said this in another thread...I'm sorry I can't remember who it was but if they read this - give yourself credit!

"Don't worry about proving others wrong, focus on proving yourself right!"

Sometimes we have this mindset that we need to work out and lose weight to prove the others wrong who thought we couldn't do it.  Often times no one is even saying this to us... we just feel this way!  This quote reminds me to just prove myself right - if I know I can do this, then I need to prove it to myself and stick to it!

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared with what lies within us." Ralp Waldo Emerson

"Two paths diverge in a wood...........and I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference."  Emerson (i believe)..............that was my senior quote lol...........this maybe the hard road but it's gonna be worth it in the end yay!!! lol :P

Emerson?  EMERSON?!  For crying out loud!

That's ROBERT FROST!

*removes beret*

Shooting for the stars and missing is not better than aiming for the gutter and hitting it.  In the latter instance, you've achieved your goal.

lmao...........ur right dnrothx..........sorry bout that my mind is else were lol :)

My favorite:

Only WE can control what goes in our mouth............................. Lets show the world WE are in CONTROL!!!

Thats right.. ONLY WE CAN DO IT!!!

I like this one from a coworker, not sure of it's original source:

"Don't let what you want right now stop you from getting what you want most."

One of my favorite quotes because it reminds me to fully enjoy my life:

"Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching."    

- Satchel Paige, Negro League Pitcher and Hall of Fame Baseball Player

This is more diet oriented, but I think its true:

"nothing tastes as good as it feels to be thin."

also, a good feminist one: "women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition."

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

(Herm Albright )

I don't remember who said it, but mine is:

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

nice thread idea


"Do the behavior, the feeligs will follow."  from Dr. Laura.

The idea is you don't wait to feel motivated... it seldom works that way. You start doing the behaviors first, the motivation will come.

This one goes out to those who are trying again and again... don't give up!

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail" -Emerson

That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do is increased. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have."

-Vince Lombardi

Their once was a man from Peru who dreamed he was eating his shoe, he woke in the middle of the night, realized his dream had come true. -spongebobsquarepants not sure what episode and I think it might actually be something not sure though hehe

Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities. And go to work." - H.L. Hunt

My Coach, he was refering to the playoffs, but I think it applies:

"If you want to go places you've never gone, you've got to do things you've never done"

"IF YOU FALL STAND TALL AND COME BACK FOR MORE"

-Tupac Shakur:)
