Quotation of the Week

"Always bear in mind that your resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing." -Abraham Lincoln


So, I was drinking my tea this Friday morning... still unsure as to what motivational quotation I would be posting on the good ole' blog... when I noticed a quote printed on the little tea tag hanging from my mug...

Some words of wisdom from Abraham Lincoln called out to me.

Because it's so true. No ONE thing is gonna lead you to any sort of success in life. Success comes from the culmination of many different focuses - many different steps - many different actions.

In order to ensure that you don't get overwhelmed by all that different, important stuff...
In order to ensure that you continue to do what is necessary to be successful...
You gotta focus on the big picture.
You have to be determined to get down that pathway to success, NO MATTER WHAT.

That is the strongest determinant of whether success will find you or not.

So, in the fitness world, we could debate forever over the best way to exercise in order to reach our physical goals, as well as the best way to diet, the best way to recover, the best way to eliminate pain, etc, etc.

But, oftentimes, if we're determined enough, and we are following a decent, effective program, we will stick with that program and be successful.

Like I always say, if you want it bad enough, you'll be sure to get it.

Have a great weekend, folks!

Very true, I found two great motivation quotes that you can use:

"It is never too late to be what you might have been."
-George Eliot

or

"Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."
-Homer Simpson

take your pick.
