ohh this is my thing!! I'm always underlining things that appeal to me - two favs right now:
One is a song my daughter sings *constantly* by Hannah Montana believe it or not: "'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain, I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb, yeah!"
LOL - I'm glad to see there is another adult who actually likes that Hannah song! I've been contemplating putting it on my iPod, but geez, really? Hannah on MY iPod????
I have a file somewhere with a bunch of these kinds of things, and my basement refrigerator is covered with inspirational cards and magazine clippings (my bike trainer is set up in a spot where the fridge is directly in front of me - helps for those LONG winter trainer sessions! ). Some of my favorites:
Push yourself to the limits and experience wonders you never imagined.
- Unknown
When you are going through hell, keep going.
- Winston Churchill
"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
- Lewis Carroll
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Leap and the net will appear
- Zen saying
In the midst of a race when my mind is giving me negative self-talk the one I always go to is simple and works like a charm: "Shut up and suck it up." |
