Default What are some quotes that keep you..

inspired, motivated, and persevering?





"It's the possibility of having dreams come to fruition is what makes life interesting."



"So many people live with unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.... We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living..." -Christopher McCandless



"If you don't go after it, you will never have it. If you don't ever ask, the answer is always no. If you don't ever step forward, you're always in the same place."



"If you were fully conscious, you would have realized that you were the source of all that you were experiencing..... and you would have changed it into a wonderland, maybe".

I love reading these- thanks for posting. I like the one you posted that says "if you don't ever ask, the answer is always no." Took me a long time to figure that one out!

I'll add a few of my favorites:

"Do not wait; the time will never be "just right." Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along. " - Napoleon Hill

"Pressure makes diamonds"

"Pain is temporary; quitting lasts forever."

And of course the quote in my signature.

"With God, all things are possible."

"NEVER GIVE UP!"

Someone on here has this as their signature and I loved it!

Being fat is hard. Dieting is hard. Maintaining is hard. Pick your hard.
