What Motivates and Inspires You?
Recently I’ve been doing something new as part of my daily ritual. For the last couple weeks I’ve been reading one page from a new book that a client sent me; “The Book Of Famous Inspirational Quotes”. A great book to thumb through to find motivational and inspirational quotes. 
Here are a few of my favorite quotes…
Circumstance does not change responsibility.
A lion sleeps in the heart of every man.
The consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past. To change your future, alter your decisions today.
Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.
What are your favorite quotes, sayings, or passages that inspire, motivate, drive you to action and give you hope?
I’d like to know… Let me know down below in the comment section.

Those are the tapes that are playing in my head everyday to push me out of my comfort zone in the gym, in business, and in my social life. No Excuses. Just DO IT.

Your mind is a mountain you can conquer
Habits are cobwebs at first, cables at last
You can’t enjoy your life unless you have perfect health
Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
“The Fitter You become Physically,
The Tougher You become Mentally!!!
My favourites are:
You’ll NEVER fail UNLESS you quit
and
Nike’s “Just Do It”
‘What the Mind can Conceive the Body can Achieve”.
The only limits are what your mind creates ~
