"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or the doer of deeds could have them better. 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 no effort without error and shortcoming; but he who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows 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 while daring greatly, knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat." -- Teddy Roosevelt

[SBT]

"The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, red lights called enemies, caution lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs. But if you have a spare called determination, an engine called perserverance, insurance called faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called success."

[Bronwyn]

Each precontest I set one of this and each it is my motivation - I have written it everywhere.. trying to achieve it...

2006 precontest: “I did it because I could, I could because I wanted to, I wanted to because you said I couldnt” - some blog on the internet.

2007: Summer -“When you want to reach the Eden, than you have to go through the Hell” - me, exactly what I felt.

2007 Winter - “Exitus in dubio est, audebimus ultima - How it will end up I dont know but with neverending courage I will try it!” - Old Romanian riddle, may also be translated as - when the goal, you have, seems to be not real, you have to have neverending courage to go for it. If you will, you may achieve even what seems to be untouchable.

2008 before the illness - “ CREDENDO VIDES - By believing, one sees.” - I sometimes dont believe in myself, so it is my lifemotto from one book.

2008 after the illness - “I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A bird will fall frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.” - Film G.I.Jane..... I want to be like this. :)

It's not how hard you can hit, it's how hard you can get hit...and still keep moving forward! ~Rocky

This thread is absolutely awesome! I fully credit most of my success with personal development study I have been doing over the past 9 years. It has changed my life. I'm not meaning to ramble but when I learned to look inward at myself instead of waiting for outside things to change my life completely turned around. I went from struggling week to week with a so so job to a great career with a very nice income. But the biggest change is this. Nothing in life has any meaning except for the value that I place on it. Hecen why you will never find me in a bad mood. Any of who who have met me will attest to the fact that i am always in a great mood! Lifes too short not to be!

Here is one of my favorite quotes to live by

Put this on for size. In order to truly understand the concept of freedom one needs to learn to take responsibility for EVERYTHING that happens his his or her life that is good bad or indifferent. The reason is that if you do not then you have to wait until someone or something changes before you can change. I refuse to be a slave to circumstance. I am in control over my life. I know what it truly feels like to be free and it's wonderful!

Hey Mr. Clere....didn't no that! I was 5th at Jr. U in Class B!! I'm sure she's next for the PRO card at TU!!

Have you read the book the Secret. I still haven't but a friend told me my outlook was similar to what the author discusses in the book.

Of course we can not control everything that occurs in our lives..but we can control our attitudes and how we respond to the specific event. So, that's what I try to do. I try to always remain positive and stay away from any thing that will be detrimental in preventing me from being happy!!

"First they ignore you; then they laugh at you; then they fight you; then you win.”

“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

“There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.”

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

“You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.”

[Femphysiquefan]

Maybe not exactly inspirational, but they DO make you think:

"O why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like a fast-flitting meteor, a fast-flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
He passes from life to his rest in the grave.

'Tis the wink of an eye, 'tis the draught of a breath,
From the blossom of health to the paleness of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud,—
O why should the spirit of mortal be proud?"

-Taken from "Mortality" by William Knox (Abraham Lincoln's favorite poem)

“Life should not be a journey in which you safely arrive in the grave in an attractive and well-preserved body. Rather, it should be a journey in which you skid into the grave sideways at top speed, champagne in one hand, chocolate in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming at the top of your lungs with your last breath, "WOO-HOO!! What a RIDE!”

A bend in the road is not the end of the road......
Unless you fail to make the turn.

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure - Bill Cosby

[Melissa Dettwiller]

these are two of my husbands (and mine now) favorites:

“The iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The iron will always kick you the real deal. The iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But, two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.” - Henry Rollins


and


“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. 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. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt

Effort only releases its reward when you refuse to quit.

Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive, because your words become your behaviors.
Keep your behaviors positive, because your behaviors become your habits.
Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.

-Gandhi

Life may not be the party that we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

Life may not be the party that we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

Pay no mind

[Maeg13]

"Most people are anchored in mediocrity and have very limited vision to image being anything greater or better then what they already are. They only see what's right in front of them. So when they see a person with passion and vision, it threatens them. Hence rumors and negative gossip, nothing more then a futile attempt to bring you down to their level."

-Kai Greene

"As hard as you're working on your physique, someone else is out there working harder to BEAT YOU."

"Every choice moves us closer to or further away from something...Where are your choices taking YOUR life?"

"To decide means to cut off all other options - So decide today that you are going to PUSH HARDER."

Excuses don't equal results.-One of my professors always said that!
