It is never too late to be what you might have been

It amazes me how a few words can spark drive and motivation, a simple saying can resonate with a person and drive them to do extra ordinary things.

I strongly believe in having a personal mantra to use when the going gets tough. There will come a moment when your head and heart are screaming at you to stop, this is when you need your soul to kick in and tell them both to shut-up and keep going.

The limiting factor of performance comes from your perception of effort. It’s all well and good to train physically but like recovery there needs to be time allocated to practicing positive self talk and experimenting with different statements. A time will come when even though feel like you can’t go further, you actually can and the difference between success and having to try again all comes down to what you tell yourself and believe in.

Here is a collection of my favorite motivational quotes. I hope you find power amongst these words, if you do I want to hear which one it was and why.
