This past week has been really crazy for me. I have not seen the same results on the scale as I was getting the past couple of weeks (Only 1 pound lost this week). I am so competitive that I want to see results at all times. And if I don't I usually get down on myself for not living up to my standards. This is a bad habit I must get over if I ever want to have long term goals.
When I get down like this I always like to look at words of inspiration to pick me back up and to remind me that people have been through harder situations than me. My favorite is the quote by Winston Churchill above. I look at it every morning to remind me of the mission at hand.
So I was wondering if you guys had any words of inspiration you like to look at in troubled times? Hit me up with them so I can have a little variety. Thanks guys!

Oh this is totally up my alley! I am ALWAYS jotting down quotes that I hear and like! Here are a few of my favorites:
You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. - David Viscott
You must do the thing you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt
Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. - Mark Twain
Everyone makes mistakes - the only people who never fail are those who never even try. - Anonymous
Okay, that's probably enough, although I could probably keep going. Looking forward to seeing others answers; maybe I'll find a new one to add to my stash! :)
The first is not so inspirational, but good nonetheless. The second is the Serenity Prayer, and a favorite of mine...
"It's better to be approximately right than precisely wrong." - Warren Buffet
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference."
Great quotes guys! I need to get some of these quotes framed in my room, they would be nice to wake up to.
"Fuck all the time." -Sam Brown
