"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
"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be" - Thomas Kempis
"It took me a long time not to judge myself through the eyes of others" - Sally Field
"Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that hoe we look, how we perform, is truly important to other people " - Andrew Dubus (I use this one when at teh gym)
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye" - Miss. Piggy
"If you always do what you have done, you will always get what you have gotten".
I have loads more, not just for losing weight.
