I wanted to start a thread with great motivational things we've heard recently or the things that keep us going every single day.

Here are my favorites lately....
Lance Armstrong says "Pain is only temporary...quitting is forever!"
Maya Angelou says "We do the best we can and when we know better, we do better"
Anonymous Quote I saw on some blog somewhere "If you think you're perfect you're an idiot to start off with."

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITES? List them here!

It is far better to attempt something and fail than to attempt nothing and succeed.

I have had more trouble with myself than any person I know.

One way to get high blood pressure is to go mountain climbing over molehills.

Help people reach their full potential. Catch them doing something right.

Good idea, Gettnbusy. And fun.

"Never appeal to a man's 'better nature.' He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage."

That one actually works for/against me. I will stick to the diet for reasons purely selfish before I will stick to it because someone else thinks I should.

It's from "Time Enough for Love" by Robert Heinlein
