Get Quoting!

If you’ve been following me on the forums at Team Beachbody you might have come across a few quotes that I’ve been peppering into the mix.  Take this one for example – it’s a real favorite:

“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.”

John Powell

Isn’t that great?  You know if you’re reading this blog and you’re beating yourself up because you never seem to be able to shift the weight you want to be rid of, read that quote again!  It really sums up what so many of us have done in the past.

We try and lose weight or get some exercise, and we fail.  But we just go ahead and try again without making any changes.  Of course, trying to lose weight and not succeeding isn’t really a mistake – not in the sense that we were wrong to try.

But if you’re looking for some inspiration then quotations are a great place to get it.  And you can stick them up on a sticky note where you can see them and benefit from them every day too!  Here’s another one I love:

“Efficiency is doing things right.  Effectiveness is doing the right things.”

Peter Drucker

So are we all going to be efficient as well as effective today?  I sure hope so!  I find that’s a great quote to keep in mind when I’m aiming to do a workout, or maybe fix a healthy meal for the evening.  If we can all be efficient and effective, then we can expect great results as we jog through each day ahead of us.

If you follow my thread on the Team Beachbody forums, you’ll know that I pop in a quote a day to keep you all on your toes! But you should try exploring the web and finding a few good ones of your own too.  In fact, why not come and share them with us?  If there’s a particular quote that gets you fired up and ready to burn some calories on your next workout, let us all know!

Quotes have a habit of boiling something complicated down into something simple.  It’s like a nugget of knowledge that really tells you how things are.  And the best ones are there to be shared too.  So let’s get sharing and feel the benefit!
