    “I have so much to do today, I’ll need to spend another hour on my knees.” ~ Martin Luther

        “Most of us think we don’t have enough time to exercise.  What a distorted paradigm! We don’t have time not to.  We’re talking about three to six hours a week – or a minimum of thirty minutes a day, every other day.  That hardly seems an inordinate amout of time considering the tremendous benefits in terms of the impact on the other 162 – 165 hours of the week.” ~ Stephen Covey

          “Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things… I am tempted to think… There are no little things.” ~ Bruce Barton

            “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” ~ Buddha

              ‎”Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.” ~ Corrie Ten Boom

                ‎”If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don’t work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!” ~ Sarah Dessen

                  “Brain studies have shown that imagining something in vivid detail can fire the same brain cells that are actually involved in that activity.” (via Primal Leadership)

                    “…While preparing for the 2000 Olympics, Wilkinson broke three toes and was unable to go in the water.  Rather than stop her preparations, Wilkinson sat for hours each day on the diving platform, repeatedly recreating in her mind a detailed vision of each of her dives.  She went on to win an upset victory in the 2000 Olympics – the gold medal in the ten-meter platform competition.” (via Primal Leadership)

                      “…If you’ve ever played a musical instrument, you know that when you rehearsed your sheet music just enough so you made no mistakes, you were practicing to the point of comfort; you could wing it when playing for your teacher.  But under the stress of a recital, you might forget parts of the piece.  Professional musicians, however, go a crucial step further:  They rehearse and rehearse, and then rehearse some more.  They practice until the fingering of their instrument or breathing is automatic.  They practice until they can play it without thinking about it and can just feel it.”  (via Primal Leadership)

                        “When you feel pain, you know that you are still alive.” ~ Bruce Lee

                          “To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.” ~ Bruce Lee

                            “To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.” ~ Bruce Lee

                              “The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be.” ~ Bruce Lee

                                “Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.” ~ Bruce Lee

                                  “Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.” ~ Bruce Lee

                                    “Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.” ~ Bruce Lee

                                      “Real living is living for others.” ~ Bruce Lee

                                        “Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class.” ~ Bruce Lee

                                          “Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.” ~ Bruce Lee
