"An unrealistic perception of life is the basis of fear. People are not willing to live, people are not willing to die. That is the whole predicament right now. The fear is simply because you are not living in life, you’re living in your mind. Your fear is always about what’s gonna happen next. That means your fear is about that which does not exist. If your fear is about the non-existent, your fear is 100% imaginary. If you are suffering the non-existential, we call that insanity. So people may be just socially aceepted levels of insanity. But if you are afraid or if you are suffering something which does not exist, it amounts to insanity, doesn’t it? People are always suffering, either what happened yesterday or what may happen tomorrow. So your suffering is all about that which does not exist. Simply because you are not rooted in reality, you are always rooted in your mind. Mind; one part of it is memory, other part of it is imagination. Both of them are in one way imagination because both of them don’t exist right now. You’re lost in your imagination, that’s the basis of your fear. If you were rooted in reality, there would be no fear."

My hs football coach used to tell us this all the time.
"Fatigue makes a coward of us all. "
I always think back this whenever I feel I'm too tired to go to the gym, or work, or whatever. Really has helped push through mental blocks we place on ourselves when things get a little bit uncomfortable.

The mind is your battlefield. The fight is in your mind. And don't you ever let your mind beat you in the fight. The second you let your mind beat you into doubting yourself is the second you should feel no need to exist anymore. Fight back against the battle your mind creates. Fight back to overcome adversity and to succeed and show the world what it has got coming. - Me

Best motivational quote ever:



"This is my body. And I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it, study it, tweak it, listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?"
- Lance Armstrong

One of the best quotes on here! ^^^^^



Here are some that I've picked up over the years...

Every soul who comes to earth, with a leg or two at birth. Must wrestle his opponent knowing it's not what is, it's what can be that measures worth. Make it hard, just make it possible. And through the pain, I won't complain. My spirit is unconquerable. Fearless I will face each foe for I know I am capable. I don't care whats probable, through blood, sweat, and tears, I am unstoppable- Anthony Robles*

A pat on the back, is only six inches away from a kick in the ass, you decide which way it ends up.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are are small matters compared to what lies within us.

ok personally arnold is my favorite bodybuilder of all times... he is who i look up to and i got posters of him all over ... so this really DOES work for me... just reading his quotes helps me to have a better workout...

i thought some one out there might benefit from this so here they are ... all quotes from the good old ARNOLD ....


I never set limits or created mental barriers. You may have read that I imagined my biceps as big as mountain peaks when I did my curling exercises. This visualization process was essential if I was to gain the kind of mass and size I needed to win the Mr. Olympia contest against monsters like Sergio Oliva and Lou Ferrigno ...
- Arnold Schwarzenegger


"Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge. The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens. I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on." - Arnold Schwarzenegger!



I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street. - Arnold Schwarzenegger!




If it bleeds, we can kill it. Arnold Schwarzenegger!



Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.



Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn't matter.
Arnold Schwarzenegger





"Good things don't happen by coincidence. Every dream carries with it certain risks, especially the risk of failure. But I am not stopped by risks. Suppose a great person takes the risk and fails. Then the person must try again. You cannot fail forever. If you try ten times, you have a better chance of making it on the eleventh try than if you didn't try at all."
Author: Arnold Schwarzenegger!




The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it-as long as you really believe 100 percent.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger!




"I was always interested in proportion and perfection. When I was fifteen, I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror. When I stared at myself naked, I realized that to be perfectly proportioned I would need twenty-inch arms to match the rest of me."
- Arnold Schwarzenegger




"My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it."
— Arnold Schwarzenegger




"As a kid I always idolized the winning athletes. It is one thing to idolize heroes. It is quite another to visualize yourself in their place. When I saw great people, I said to myself: "I can be there.""
Author Arnold Schwarzenegger



'We all have great inner power. The power is self-faith. There?s really an attitude
to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be
hungry. You have to want to conquer.'



'My instinct was to win, eliminate anyone who is in competition, destroy my enemy,
and move on without any kind of hesitiation at all.'


'The best activitities for your health are pumping and humping.' - 1975


'Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.' - 1975


'Having a pump is like having sex. I train two, sometimes three times a day. Each
time I get a pump. It's great. I feel like I'm coming all day..." - 1979


'Stay hungry, stay healthy, ba a gentleman, believe strongly in yourself and go
beyond limitations.' - 1975



'The unique thing about bodybuilding is that when I compete it is just me on a stage
alone. There is no field, no bat, no ball, no skis, no skates. All other athletes
have to use equipment, like a football. But I don't use anything in competition
except myself. It's just me up there. Me alone. No coach. No nothing.'



'My definition of a sport is that it's a physical activity that involves
competition. Since bodybuilders certainly train and then compete, we are certainly a
sport.'


'It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat.'

[SourTytan]

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. - T. E. Lawrence

Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't. - Pete Seeger

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. - Oprah Winfrey
