  • Motivational Thread

    I'm always looking for ways to keep myself motivated in my training and in life. One of the ways I do this is whenever I come across something in my reading that really stands out to me I print it up on my computer and post it up in my gym and read them over and over during my workouts. I thought I would share a few of them with you guys and see if you had any to add or if you had any other little tricks that you use to keep motivated. Hope you like them as much as I do.


    "You cannot just passivly show up in life, acting on a set of non-productive values, and expect to achieve anything. You have to be willing to take full responsability for the attainment of your desires. If you are not then they are not truly desires, but merely daydreams. This is the kind of self deception one pays for with their life, as it drains away into the abyss of unredeemable possibilities and irretrievable days, months, and years. How one invests their energy and efforts is crucial when it comes to making sure their actions do not contridict their prescribed game plan for the attainment of their goals". Joe Lewis

    Proper planning is what rules the day.

    Do not permit the alleged power of your enemy to influence you. A large opponent cannot necessarily overpower a smaller one. If the smaller opponent is adequately prepared he can wreak havoc upon the slowness of the larger one.

    A clever fighter never repeats his successful actions in the same manner. Failure to see new ways to do things causes sloppiness in thinking and over confidence in physical bearing.

    Vision must not be for immediate gain but for the future.

    Fight with ferocity, unaware of the fear of combat. Do not be intimidated by your enemy's appearance.

    Sun Tzu (The Art Of War)

      Whenever I need motivation I usually get a picture of someone I hate ( Billy Mays ) and I shoot darts at it, at the end Billy's face is full of holes and it reminds me how much it sucks to be him and that I'm not him and that enables me to go on throughout the day.

      I do variations too. Sometimes I get pictures of fat people and post them all over my house and everytime I see them, I am glad that I am not them.

      I also take the message from a fortune cookie, lamenate them and use them as keychains that way I can always have some wisdom to look to in dire situations.

        I have this sticker on my skate board and it says "skate or die!" that always motivates me. I have another sticker on my surf board and it says "go big or go home." Those stickers make me want to do insane things.

          Excellent suggestions my friends.

          There are only two kinds of pain in life, the pain of discipline, or the pain of regret. Unknown

            OH NO YOU SPOUT SUCH WORDS OF WISDOM. IT MAKES MY NIPPLES HARD JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.

            Meant in the most sarcastic way possible.

                Did you forget the pain of having a test tube of fire ants rammed up your ass?

                    I saw this once on a military propoganda poster, and my swim coach always said this when he made us do 1000 yards butterfly or something evil of that sort. "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."
