Brick Walls

I have little quotes and sayings taped up all over my walls in my little cube here. I thought I would share some of them and by doing so, help me remember why I chose that particular quote to put up.

"Brick walls are there for a reason, they let us prove how badly we want something." ~ Randy Pausch. This goes along with my Determination post this morning. I guess I'm not wanting to lose weight badly enough because obviously, I am standing in my own way.

"Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be a little bit better than you were yesterday." ~ unknown. I tend to see things in black and white; right and wrong; yes and no; on or off. This little quote reminds me to try to see things in shades of gray instead. Okay so today isn't so great. That's why we have a tomorrow, it's almost like a do over.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." ~ unknown. This one is my favorite. Fear is something that we all live with. If you tell me you're never afraid, I'll call you a flat out liar. Normally I am fairly good at pushing fear out of me when it comes. If not push it out, at least ignore it, regulate it to the back of my mind. Yet with weight loss and getting healthy, I cannot seem to do that. I can't get over the fear, I can't rid myself of it and I can't push it to the back and forget about it. Whenever I try to self-analyze the fear, I back down. It's like a corner of my head is blocked off and whenever I try to go there, open that door, another part of my mind causes a distraction and I move on. Or I get my hand on the knob to open the door and then get to scared and run away from it.


Wtf right.

Anyway, hi ho, hi ho, it's back to work I go. Oh and feel free to post comments, I'd like to see who's reading, get thoughts, and well I'd like to see that someone IS reading haha.
