Top 20 Motivational Quotes

29/10/12

Every day I read motivational quotes on my phone or laptop to help remind me that there will be reward one day for the efforts I put in at the gym. That probably makes me sound heavily extrinsically motivated, however I can assure you I'm not into bodybuilding for a pay cheque. I genuinely enjoy the commitment, life style, and most of all discipline. All of these factors are contagious in everyday life and I believe they've made me a better person. I understand that Bodybuilding is NOT a sprint and in fact a marathon, and know I have the dedication to become a top natural bodybuilder one day.

Even though It may seem like I'm motivated 100% of the time, It's not always that way. Sometimes I'd rather stay at home than go to the gym...O.k you got me, I lied. If I feel good, I want to be in the gym. If I'm not feeling too good, I want to be in there to relieve any stress. This is my top 20 motivational quotes I've found online that have helped me get back into that upbeat state of mind when not feeling my normal self.

1. "There's only two occasions when I go to the gym, when I'm in the mood...and when I'm not."

2. "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

3. "Remember that guy that gave up? Neither does anybody else."

4. "Don't quit. You're already in pain. You're already hurt. Get a reward from it."

5. "If you're afraid of failure, you don't deserve to be successful."

6. "One day this pain will make sense to you."

7. "Bigger than yesterday, smaller than tomorrow."

8. "If you can find a path with no obstacles, It probably doesn't lead anywhere."

9. "All men are born equal, some work harder in preseason."

10. "You don't know me. You don't know anything about me. You don't know what I'm made of or just how much I'm capable of. You don't know where I've come from nor where I'm heading. You know nothing of my highs or my lows. You don't know how fast I am, how strong I am. How resilient I am. You haven't got a clue what breakfast cereal I eat. What fragrance I wear or who I'm dating. You don't even know my name...But you will."


11. "The perosn who doesn't make mistakes is unlikely to make anything."

12. "Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one."

13. "The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war."

14. "You decide everyday who you will and will not be. Be bold in your decision but remember choose wisely."

15. "It doesn't matter how hard you work in the gym, If you don't control what you put on your plate"

16. "When writing the story of your life, don't let anyone else hold the pen."

17. "When you want to succeed as badly as you want to breathe, then you will be successful."

18. "Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do."

19. "To at any moment, be able to give up what you are, for what you will become".

20. "Pain is temporary, it may last a minute, an hour, a day, or even a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take it's place. If I quit, however it lasts forever"








There's loads of quotes I've missed out that didn't make my top 20 but I was already taking forever so I'll post this before I change my mind again! Every one has their own source of motivation. Yes I read these quotes but I also take great pride in being a Daley and my family are who I represent everyday from the moment I wake up until the moment I fall back to sleep.

Who or what motivates you?
