I thought I would start a new thread consisting of inspirational quotes..... I've been collecting several over the last few months, and I read them often. Please feel free to add any that you have read that you might be willing to share. Quote for today....

NEVER EVER GIVE UP. YOU ARE STRONGER AND MUCH MORE AMAZING THAN YOU THINK.

Your BODY hears EVERYTHING your MIND says...... STAY POSITIVE

here is my fave:

if it is to be, then it's up to me

SOME QUIT DUE TO SLOW PROGRESS....NEVER GRASPING THE FACT THAT.....SLOW PROGRESS IS PROGRESS

This is a longer one, but so powerful..I've had this on my fridge for years (along with sev. others, as I am somewhat of a quote collector : )

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

That line.... Who are you not to be???? Hit me to the core.... I can be talented, healthier, even pretty? I haven't allowed myself to feel pretty for years. I find that now that my face has slimmed down.... I want to wear makeup. I want pretty earrings....I want a new hairstyle. Thanks fellow "Quote Collector."

These are wonderful! Thanks so much for this thread. Here's my contribution -- wish I had the source but it's long forgotten. And Parisshel may need to give me a French lesson!

"Faire et se taire" which is roughly translated as Shut Up And Get On With It! Maybe I'll tape that one across the top of my treadmill.

What you do EVERYDAY matters more than what you do every once in a while.

I am me that is who I am.

My favorites

Dont be afraid to give yourself everything you've ever wanted in life

Dont expect everyone to understand your journey especially if they've never walked on your path

Sometimes the strongest people are the ones who love beyond all faults, cry behind closed doors, and fight battles that nobody knows about

Nothing is impossible; even the word itself, says "I'm possible!"

The secret of your success is found in your daily routines.

How true, CATFISH !!!!!!

But, until the last eight months, I wasn't taking care of the 20%. And the band has really helped me cut down on the 80%.
