This yoga inspirational image quote was made on 11-18-20 because I was in between projects and had just talked to a friend that needed some help.
I hope you like them, please let me know in the comments below.
Believe You Can
Believe You Can And You Are Halfway There. Putting your mind towards a positive attitude will increase your chances to succeed.
Personally, my motto is to believe that I can, well, mostly I KNOW that I can.
It may not always happen, but at the very least I tried to achieve that goal. Whatever that goal happens to be.
It Does Not Get Any Easier
It Does Not Get Any Easier… You Get Stronger. Life has its ups and downs. That is a true fact of life.
If you have a difficult task, practicing, adapting, and yes, sometimes falling will teach you how to get better, wiser, smarter, and yes, stronger at it.
if you give up all that knowledge and time will have been wasted.
The Most Satisfying Pain
Sore The Most Satisfying Pain. Usually, when you start to exercise, at the end of the first day your muscles will feel sore.
As a rule of thumb, it is a good idea to let your muscles relax every other day.
Then on the third day be back at it again. That soreness you will feel will be your muscles adapting to the new routine.
Unless You Try
Unless You Try, You Will Never Know, if it is possible. I have a lot of projects and my time is very limited.
Because of this, I wake up every day as early as I can to make the most of the day.
Ideas for projects I have, and I try several, some work, some don’t… But I would have never known If I did not try.
Work Hard Good Results Will Come
Work Hard Good Results Will Come. Very true fact. When you get up in the morning, you have two choices…
A) Go Back to Sleep or B) Get up and make the best of the day.
As much as I would love to go back to sleep, I do not. Instead, I work really hard to achieve my goals.
