“Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Take those first steps. Don’t let fear of the unknown paralyze you. Just begin. And each step won’t seem so frightening.

“Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again, and you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose…not the one you began with perhaps, but one you’ll be glad to remember.”

Need a new sports bra that actually supports you? Yeah, you should probably go get one of those. Do you sweat even in wintertime? Maybe grab a dri-fit shirt. Just sayin.

MOTIVATION: believe you can. It seems quite simple really. You want something? Are you working towards something? Have any goals lately? If you don’t believe you can do it, why should anyone else? Why should your body when your mind isn’t on board? Simply believe in what you want. Believe in yourself. Don’t shoot yourself down before you’ve even begun. Will yourself towards your goals. Get out of your own way. Be your own cheerleader. Push yourself towards that thing you want. Don’t accept no for an answer. Do not back away. Mentally psych yourself out in the direction of your goals. And it won’t be just a belief or a dream—it will become your reality. But only when you treat it that way. Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it.  High-res

MOTIVATION: you can go further than you think. Just try. One more mile. Ten more minutes. Five more reps. One more sprint. Maybe two. Just try. Your body will prove your head’s self-doubt wrong. Your heart knew all along. But you have to try. You’re stronger than you think. You’re tougher than you think. You’re more resilient than you think. You will succeed. But you have to try. And keep trying. And keep trying. You will succeed. But only if you try. (via NikeFB) High-res

“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
