after some health issues at the end of last year i got a latin tattoo across my back. the english meaning is :-
"for the brave, nothings difficult"
always helps me :)
"I may walk slowly, but I never walk backwards" - Abraham Lincoln.
"Sometimes it is not enough to do our best; sometimes we must do what is required." Winston Churchill.
These two have always struck a chord with me.
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"
Rocky Balboa
You dont win the race on the day. You win it here, in the months of training before the race.
Anyone can become a champion. All it takes is sustained obsession. The obsession part is easy. It's sustaining it that most people fail at.
Don't ever give up just because someone tells you that you can't do it. What they really mean is that They can't do it. You just can't do it YET.
Train how you plan to race.
My old man told me some words of advice once that has stayed with me all these years....
" Son if you dont eat you dont shit and if you dont shit you will die"
Thanks dad.
a couple of motivational quotes i like:
"If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else."
- Yogi Berra
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
- Albert Einstein
"We don't live in a world of reality, we live in a world of perceptions."
- Gerald J. Simmons
And my favourite
"You can if you think you can" (Aristotle paraphrased)
"I can't remember if I'm the good twin or the evil one..."
How many sides are there to a story? It depends entirely on how many are looking at it.
The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

"A simple philosophy - Fill what's empty, empty what's full."
Heres a couple I like
If you want to be what youve never been before you have to be willing to do things youve never done before
Always assume the impossible is attainable and you will overcome
"That which your mind can perceive, you can achieve."
"Nothing was ever done without starting.
"If the bar aint bending, stop pretending"
"You need to climb the mountain to see it's view"
The pain of discipline is short, but the glory of fruition is eternal
Hi guys & girls,
Here's a few my parents always said to me. It's funny how they always knew what to say to ge me back on track.
"Good things come to those who wait"
"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything"
"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success"
"Where there's a will there's a way"
"We all have ability. The difference is how we use it."
Cheers,
Mark
