RomeoFlow Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Here's mine: “The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.†We must not limit ourselves to something we can do, we must go beyond, do something out of our comfort zone. There we can see the real happiness and satisfaction. It applies not just in my workout but I apply it in everything Quote Tune in to the Elite Flow State Training for Athletes through Action Movements in C Wilson Meloncelli's Flow. Link to comment

lazergician Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 "Prove me wrong." I tend to think I can't do things a lot, so my way of dealing with that is imaging someone else saying it and taunting me into proving them wrong, which I find really motivating. Then when I do it, I can be like "Take that, past me! I totally CAN do it!"

Lokesbrah Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 My motto is from my childhood hero the Dragon itself, Bruce Lee. He once said a passage which is someting I often forget, but everytime I get to remember it feels me up with emotion and I feel like I understand somthing more about myself and the world: "If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateus and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them". And another of him which I try to live by daily: "I am not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine". 4 Quote Race: Half-Elf Class: Warrior-Assassin Level: 0 Last Challenge: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- STR: x | CON: x | DEX: x | INT: x | WIS: x | CHA: x | "[I am] the spark that will light the flame of the Rebellion" Link to comment

Godeskian Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think everyone I know would say it's 'C'est la vie'. due to my general tendency to just accept more or less everything. Personally? I actually abide by my family motto (yes, I have one, fringe benefit of being able to trace both my Scottish and Irish geneaology) it's 'True To The End' Quote I have taken all knowledge to be my province.- Sir Francis Bacon Level 0 Human, leaning towards Assassin "To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic."- The Creed, as desribed by Ezio Auditore Link to comment

Red1263 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 "Memento Mori" Latin, in english it stands for "Remember Death" as in remember that you will die one day.
