Motivational and Inspirational Quotes


Recommended Posts

Well, I just read this whole thread again from start to finish (apparently my tired, sleepy brain is far more focused than my awake one) and don't remember seeing this one:

"I do it because I can,

I can because I want to,

I want to because you said I couldn't"

It's kind of aggressive, but so is deadlifting.

I am today what I made myself yesterday, I will be tomorrow what I make of myself today.

It has been said by some that the thoughts and tweets of Deepak Chopra are indistinguishable from a set of profound sounding words put together in a random order, particularly the tweets tagged with "#cosmisconciousness". This site aims to test that claim! Each "quote" is generated from a list of words that can be found in Deepak Chopra's Twitter stream randomly stuck together in a sentence.

 

"Love is the continuity of formless boundaries" 

 

"Innocence transforms the flow of silence" 

 

"Evolution meditates on your own destiny" 

 

"Infinity is the womb of karmic sexual energy"

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

I read the first half dozen pages and the last three and (shockingly) didn't see this one anywhere.  

 

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!" --Rocky Balboa

Did I offer advice in my post?  Please keep the following in mind:

  • I am not a doctor nor any other kind of medical professional.
  • I am not a lawyer.
  • I am not a mental health provider
  • I am not a nutritionist
  • Your mileage may vary
  • I don't do anything in moderation
  • I have lots of injuries & if you train like me, you probably will too.

A couple years ago I graduated from a very intense year-long academic program.  The week I graduated I got a fortune at the Chinese restaurant that said,

"If at first you do succeed, try something harder."

 

I have yet to find anything harder than that program, though I'm still trying.

You could give a 4 year electrical engineering program a try... I'm still having nightmares about that.

I washed out of one of those, actually.  Twice, if you want to be specific, back before I learned how to study.  It's amazing the difference it makes when you actually have study skills and discipline.

 

Therefore, I am starting a Cyber Security master's program next week.  I have to take two remedial courses that will get me the programming/technical background I've completely forgotten since being an engineering student before I can take any of the other technical courses, but I'm quite sure I'll be okay this time around.
