desmark6 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 "Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway" John Wayne I have that as a magnet in my locker at work, read it every day as I put on my vest and belt and head out into the streets of Stockton for another night of graveyard patrol. I carried that same magnet with me to Iraq, it rode on the back side of my gun shield.

Lifeislarge Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 On the wall of my crossfit gym: "I'll do what you won't today, so I'll be able to do what you can't tomorrow" This is turning into a favorite of mine as well. I had it on my bathroom mirror written as: "Do today what others won't, so you can have tomorrow, what others can't." When I was the epitome of the driven Sales Professional life was full of motivational quips and cliches. The the best motivational tool I've ever used is a quote form a book Stephen King wrote as Richard Bachman called The Long Walk: "Just keep picking 'em up, and puttin 'em down." This was my mantra for the last 15 hours of riding a water slide for 29.5 hours consecutively to win a contest locally. Sixty-three steps up, slide down, do it again. Keep picking 'em up, and puttin 'em down. Every step is one step closer to my goal. All it took was one step more than the other guys had in them to win. The whole experience taught me a huge lesson.

Lifeislarge Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Oh and one thing I tell my daughter constantly... Don't give me that BS "I can't"... Truth is, you've already decided that you won't. Big difference between can't and won't, and if you don't understand it, look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
