I have loved reading some of your motivational quotes. Here is a brief poem for you, I hope you like it.

Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe Me."

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

“There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it
and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.”

~Henry David Thoreau quotes (American Essayist, Poet and Philosopher, 1817-1862)​
I had lots of shopping to do today(120km trip), some of it tedious, but chose to be happy whilst doing it & have arrived home with a smile on my face :D​
I choose happiness!​
 
“Don’t eat anything your great-great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.”
~Michael Pollan​
 
When we stop judging ourselves,
we stop judging other people.
When we start loving ourselves,
we start loving other people.​
 
“The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.” ~Napolean Hill
Sometimes something just jumps at out me & this one did today :)
 
"I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attachment to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there is a thought that isn't true for us"​
Byron Katie
 
“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which,
more than anything else,
will affect its successful outcome.”
~William James​
 

“Willpower can produce short-term change,
but it creates constant internal stress
because you haven’t dealt with the root cause.”
~Rick Warren​


Willpower

Weight loss is not about willpower. It’s about commitment.

Commit to:

* Learning about the behaviour you want to change and what triggers it.
* Changing your environment, routines, and thoughts in order to change your behaviour.
* Making small, gradual, and permanent changes to your lifestyle.
 
Tips on Developing a Positive Thinking Mindset

*1. Accept that you are here to grow and evolve.
Life doesn't always go smoothly. Not everything is meant to be a joyride or an exercise in pleasure. Life's lessons can be difficult, but are more so if you approach them with avoidance, apprehension or fear. If you see them as opportunities to become stronger, wiser and more resilient, you are thinking positively and productively.
