"If it bleeds, we can kill it."
This quote...so simple...has become my life's motto. To me, it's not just about Arnold killing the Predator. It means so much more, to me. Much deeper in meaning than you'd think. Ever known someone who just wants to give up because they haven't reached their goals...the goals are so far away, it just isn't meant to be. Maybe you've felt this way before. I have. Enter aforementioned quote. You got a goal? Can you make progress on that goal? Then somehow some way, that goal is attainable. There are no walls in between which matter... if you work hard enough, you'll find a way. You'll go over, around, under, heck maybe straight THROUGH the wall. Good luck.

“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.” - Quoted from Lee Sulzman in “Shawnee History”
From the book "think and grow rich - napolein hill"
quote from the book-----
Remember, no more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty. A great poet has correctly stated this universal truth through these lines:
" I bargined with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanity store
For life is just a employer
He gives you what you ask
But once you have set the wages
Why, you must bear the task
I wanted for a menial hire,
Only to Learn, dismayed
That any wage I had asked of Life
Life would of willingly paid"

"You see, life, broken down to its essence, is simply a series of decisions. Each morning that I’m lucky enough to open my eyes, I make a choice. I decide that I will not settle or compromise, I will not give up." - G. Diesel, Diary of a Madman #206

“Sitting in an office all day cranking out daily work for a paycheck. Eight to ten hours a day given to someone else for money. Time in my life that I will never get back. Watching the clock, pushing my self five. The gym is where I get that time back, one set at a time. Pushing myself beyond what I thought my limits were. Twenty second sets one after the other that's time given back to me. This time spent is not for my family or my rich ass boss or the girl on her cell phone next to me. These minutes are mine. Only I can use this time not to make money to pay the mortgage, this time is spent paying the dues owed when you push that last forced rep. A minute at a time, each plate, each rep gives me back my life that I give away to others everyday. The sounds of the gym blot out everything from the hours past. The fatigue sickness in my stomach keeps me moving, rep after rep, set after set, minute after minute telling me I am alive and this is my time. When the sets are done and I can give nothing more, its time for me to return to the life given to others. I will return the next day to claim the minutes that are mine....This is Animal and it lives inside me every minute of everyday.”

“Everyday I have to go to class and sit in boring ass lecture halls. Sitting around 200 kids complaining and bitching about how this 10 a.m. class is too early. I sit there taking it all in, sipping on my protein shake, thinking to myself how they bitch about being tired when 4 hours ago I was at the gym waiting for the doors to open to start leg day. While they were in their cozy little beds I was doing set after set of squats, and as I sit there in class legs killing me, neck sore and bruised from the bar, I'm smiling inside cuz I know I'm a part of something these people will never know. A level of dedication only a small percentage will ever feel. And I'm not saying there aren't others that are dedicated as I am about going to the gym every day but I don't count the bi-tri-chest'ers as dedicated. The ones that take up all the space and benches but then come Friday, Saturday, Sunday, the gym is empty as a college student's wallet. The weekends are the best days. The fat is trimmed away from the meat and only the true hungry Animals show their faces in the gym. We never talk to each other but simple nods get our words across to each other. We're a part of the dedicated that live in the shadows growing wings. The brotherhood built with iron, pain, sweat and blood…”

Not sure if this has been already posted, but the quote from Theodore Roosevelt has been my motivator so far:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat."
"To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities - I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not - that one endures."
When I step into the ring, the cage, the octagon, whatever it may be, you shouldn't fear me because I have better technique than you; you shouldn't fear me because I have more power than you; you shouldn't fear me because I am quicker than you; you shouldn't fear me because I hit harder than you; you shouldn't fear me because my cornermen are world champions. You should fear me because I have already won. Fear me because I came to claim what is rightfully mine--victory. Fear me because I bled in the gym fighting guys everyday who were better than you, gasped for air while conditioning in an elevation mask, calloused my shins with ankle weights, did interval training your nightmares don't compare to, and did it all with you in mind. Fear me because I have come for one purpose: to win--to beat you. Fear me because I have prepared to do one thing: win. Fear me because my will cannot be broken.
The Grind. It’s what separates me from my opponent. It’s what lets me know I’m doing what it takes to win. The Grind beats you up. It wears you down. It knocks you to the ground and whispers in your ear, “Is that all you got?” The Grind picks you up. It pulls you forward. And when the time comes to reach down through the pain and weakness for that last little bit of strength you’ve got left . . . The Grind’s got your back. The Grind can’t be tamed. It can’t be compromised. It can’t be put off till tomorrow because you don’t feel like it today. The Grind pushes you through defeat. The Grind lifts you up in victory. I don’t fear The Grind. I respect it. I don’t avoid The Grind. I Embrace It.--Jordan Burroughs
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.--Ali
I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.--Ali
