You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing that we call ‘failure’
is not the falling down,
but the staying down.
The difference between a successful person and others
is not a lack of strength,
not a lack of knowledge,
but rather a lack of will.

For anything worth having one must pay the price;
and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice
no paper currency, no promises to pay,
but the gold of real service.
He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little;
he who would achieve much must sacrifice much;
he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.
The longer I live,
the more I am certain that the great difference between
the great and the insignificant, is
energy -- invincible determination
a purpose once fixed,
and then death or victory.

Trials, temptations, disappointments
all these are helps instead of hindrances,
if one uses them rightly.
They not only test the fiber of character but strengthen it.
Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy.
Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit
makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
There is no better than adversity.
Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss,
contains its own seed,
its own lesson
on how to improve your performance the next time.
Challenges are what make life interesting;
overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood.
Heat is required to forge anything.
Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart.

Nothing great is created suddenly,
any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig.
If you tell me that you desire a fig.
I answer you that there must be time.
Let it first blossom,
then bear fruit,
then ripen.
Patience is the key to contentment.
Patience is bitter,
but its fruit is sweet.
Let me look upward into the branches of the flowering oak
and know that it grew great and strong
because it grew slowly and well.

Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.
It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions.
And the actions which speak louder than the words.
It is making the time when there is none.
Coming through time after time after time,
year after year after year.
Commitment is the stuff character is made of;
the power to change the face of things.
Competing in sports has taught me
that if I'm not willing to give 120 percent,
somebody else will
Well if it makes you feel any better, despite not being a 'body builder' like you, I've been fighting the fat monster for the better part of 19 years. Still fighting. Refuse to quit.... even though some days it seems completely hopeless. If I could even just get down to a normal weight I'd be over the moon (and yes I've tried body building and can't seem to shake the fat) so YOU GO GIRL!!! You can do it!! :) :)

No one ever attains very eminent success by
simply doing what is required of him;
it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required,
that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.
First, have a definite,
clear practical ideal;
a goal, an objective.
Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends;
wisdom, money, materials, and methods.
Third, adjust all your means to that end.

You must see your goals clearly and specifically
before you can set out for them.
Hold them in your mind until they become second nature.
Numerous peak performers use the skill of mental rehearsal of visualization.
They mentally run through important events before they happen.
SEE IT, BELIEVE IT, BE IT...

Be the one they want injured in the warmup.
Who blurs the line between hate and respect.
Who can never be stopped, only feared.
Make your mark in each and every game.
Today, tomorrow, next saturday, your competition.
Effort is between you, and you, and nobody else.
Great things are not done by impulse,
but by a series of small things brought together.
The drudgery and relentlessness of effort,
repeated day in and day out, month after month, year after year,
that is what separates the strong soul from the weak,
the winner from the loser.
There are no pills, no secrets, no passwords
on the path to greatness.
You’ve got to embrace the pain, push the threshold
and JUST DO IT !

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand.
The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.
The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it
but what he becomes by it.
