The Motivational Words Thread

[C-Guy]

I wanted to do a post on something from my life. When I tried to type it, it was just tooo painful even for me. Maybe some time in the future I can share it to help motivate someone else. But for now I'll just do it this way. I'll start with a couple thoughts , then as many as would like to share feel free to do so. You never know when someone else is needing exactly what you have to say.

#1. IF the mountain was smooth, you could NOT climb it.
#2.Its not how many times you get knocked down that count, its how many times you keep getting back up.

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.

#5 Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.
#6 Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.

#7 - Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown.

#8 - Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

I kid you not. The most inspirational thing I've heard was Cher doing those gym ads:

"The hardest part is getting started."

I don't know what it is but Cher always comes across to me as a no-bullshit person so I figured she wouldn't say it if it wasn't true (call me a naif) and ya know, she was right! The hardest part of losing weight or quitting smoking or starting to exercise is getting started. It will never be more difficult to accomplish my goals than it will be the first day. However hard it will be down the road it will never be harder than just starting.

I'd like to thank Cher for that, it's been good advice for me and had any other TV personality said it I don't think I would ever have been so motivated by it.

Feel free to mock my weirdness.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly!!!!!!!




And PE related :

To be successful, you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish, then resolve to pay the price to get it !!!!!

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. !!!!

Okay... that has motivated me to go and re-start pe again right now.

The greatest good we can do for others is not to share our riches with them, but to reveal their own
