Sometimes it only takes a quote to turn things around

I really don't have a lot to say today.  It's going to be a CRAZY week between everyday life, doctor appointments, events with my tween & teen, exercise classes, writing.  Throw in a bikini wax along the way, and the week is booked solid.  However, I saw a quote yesterday that made so much sense to me, and I want to share it with you.


"When you don't give up, you can't fail."

I love this. I simply love it.  No matter how hectic things seem, don't give up.  Do the best you can that day.  Period.  Don't give up, and realize there is no such thing as "perfect".  If you keep going, it will benefit your health, your family, your life.  If you don't give up, you can't fail.

Do you have a favorite quote that helps get you through this journey?  If so, I would love to hear it.  Leave it for all of us to read in a comment below.

Hi Heather. I'm a new follower, and enjoying your blog so far - especially this post. (I'm eager to see what quotes people provide.)

My favorite motivational quote:
"You are entirely up to you."

It reminds me that the only thing I really need to reach my fitness goals is my own determination to do so.

"Success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill

From the same meeting as that quote, my leader talked about a choice we can make when things are not perfect:

A LAPSE can lead to a RELAPSE which then turns into a COLLAPSE, or . . .

A SETBACK can lead to a FEEDBACK which then spurs a COMEBACK.
