Love it!!
In fact, I've got a Post-It on my desk with something I got from 3FC the other night: If you want it, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse!
Some others:
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are headed.
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
These are all great! Time to get the post-its out. The last one is great for me because sometimes I want to get everything done right now or I feel I failed. Great way to look at it!
I used to do this to study for chemistry tests. Put post it's everywhere with what i needed to know on the front, and the answer on the back. I failed that class . . . but not for lack of trying.
Some of my favourite motivational "slogans" are "I want to be a woman of integrity, dignity and grace." This just reminds me to be honest with myself. and I've used it in every aspect of my life for a long time. I like "one step at a time" or "one day at a time." I may pig out on a whole bag of my favourite chips at some point, but it's not gonna be today.
