Failure is giving up what we want most for what we want now.
and
Striving for excellence is motivating, striving for perfection is demoralizing

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” ~Charles Swindoll
Amazing ,Charles Swindoll. I love that passage. Introduced to it 5 years ago from my friend Brian who died after almost reaching his goal weight. His story inspires me still.
Katie Can't beat Napoleon! "I caught you a delicious bass".....that kind of inspires me too.lol jk....
I read this on my parents board, I thought it was a nice one - even though not really for weight loss.

JANE...I have to say that the only one I have trouble with is freeing my mind of worries. Wish there was a button to turn off the worrying. But can honestly say I don't hate, I try to live simply (think I do anyway) I always give and I never expect much from anyone!
These are all good one ladies! Thanks for sharing!
Half Pint was one wise chick! lol here is another good one.
When you take charge of your life, there is no longer need to ask permission of other people or society at large. When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life.

At least we know Half Pint didn't have a weight problem. lol jk
I just find them at my parenting group.....like this one I thought was good. Success is never final.
Failure is never fatal.
Courage is what counts.
