Most Motivational Quotes

Don't seek acknowledgment of your efforts from those around you. They are jealously wishing they had what it takes.

"There are plenty of others willing to call you a failure, a fool, a loser, a hopeless souse. Don't you ever say it of yourself. You send out the wrong signal, that is what people will pickup. Do you understand? You care about something, you fight for it. You hit a wall, you push through it. There's something you need to know about failure, you can never let it defeat you."

[hannah7733]

Its not exactly a quote but I found this really motivational:

'You only need a few undisciplined moments to spiral. Instead of feeling like these sacrifices are making you miss out on things, see them as gains. Gains toward your inner strengths, gains toward your ability to distance yourself from the weak, gains toward the goals you are working toward. Each sacrifice is a victory for your self-discipline.'

The mirror is a tool. The mirror is my worst critic. It doesn't bullsh!t me or kiss my ass or stroke my ego. It tells it like it is.

[DarrenConroy]

Today, just like yesterday, and like tomorrow,
I will make the most of my workout.
I will be intense, I will be committed, I will be focused.
Today, just like yesterday, and like tomorrow,
I will push my body to the limit,
I will embrace the hurt, I will embrace the pain.
Today, just like yesterday and like tomorrow,
I will lift heavier
I will get bigger
I will get stronger

This is my all-time FAVORITE quote...it was written on the back of my lacrosse coaches clipboard back in high school and it still motivates me 6 years later.

One Warrior's Creed:
If today is to be the day, so be it. If you seek to do battle with me this day you will receive the best that I am capable of giving. It may not be enough but it will be every thing that I have to give. It will be impressive for I have constantly prepared myself for this day. I have trained, drilled, and rehearsed my actions so that I might have the best chance of defeating you. I have kept myself in peak physical condition, schooled myself in the martial skills and have become proficient in the application of combat tactics. You may defeat me, but you will pay a severe price and will be lucky to escape with your life. You may kill me, but I am willing to die if necessary. I do not fear death, for I have been close enough to it on enough occasions that it no longer concerns me. I do fear the loss of my Honor and would rather die fighting than to have it said that I was without courage. So I WILL fight you, no matter how insurmountable it may seem, and to the death if need be, in order that it never be said of me that I was not a WARRIOR!

Theodore Roosevelt wrote, The Man In The Arena:
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 who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows 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 neither know victory nor defeat.

Whatever life throws at you, put it on the bar and press it

I have been following this thread for over a year, and decided that I would join Bodybuilding.com so I could contribute my own motivational quotes. The first one I came up with just because, and the second one is from a pre-race speech I gave during cross country.

"My desire is unbreakable; my skill is unmatchable; my discipline is unconceivable; my goals are unthinkable; my strength is unheard of; my confidence is unshakeable; my achievements are unbelievable; my passion, undeniable; and your jealousy, well, that’s untreatable." –Samual Moughler

"My advice for you gentlemen today is this: take nothing for granted, work your ass off for everything you want. Because everything all comes down to desire. The desire to do well, the desire to succeed, the desire to win, the desire to desecrate your opponent. You can’t live your life with your desires hidden away. Today, unleash those desires. As soon as you do that, you will get what you want, you will surpass your goals, and you will have your glory; but first you must take the step to realize this." -Samual Moughler
