MOTIVATION

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." ~ Marcel Proust To begin again means that you won't give up. To begin again means you're trying. You can either start over and live your life Or spend the rest of your life slowly dying. It is never the falling that makes us fail. It is never the pain or the crying. You can never fail in life, my friend, Unless you give up trying. --Bob Perks

Getting Started

Zig Ziglar, noted author and speaker, advises people in his seminars to use positive self-talk regularly and often. In his book Over the Top, he gives the following two-step example.Step 1: Write this statement on an index card: I, (name), am an honest, intelligent, responsible, organized, goal-setting, committed individual whose priorities are firmly in place. I am a focused, disciplined, enthusiastic, positive-thinking, decisive extra-miler who is a competent energized, self-starting team player determined to develop and use all of the qualities in my personal, family, and business life. These are the qualities of the winner I was born to be. Step 2: Read this statement two or more times each day. Stand in front of a mirror, if possible and practical, looking yourself in the eye as you read it. Now what does this have to do with exercise and fitness? Self-talk is where you main motivation will come from; it is the gadget that gets you started each day! Write out your very own self talk statement and use it - everyday.

I spent a fortune On a trampoline, A stationary bike And a rowing machine Complete with gadgets To read my pulse, And gadgets to prove My progress results, And others to show The miles I've charted – But they left off the gadget To get me started! ~Dorothy Heller
