In order to run countless miles, I mentally fuel myself with motivational quotes. Often, our greatest hurdle in running is not finishing the race itself, but overcoming a mind full of doubt. Before every race I try to put together a collage of pictures and quotes I find in running and health magazines. Even though this is from my first marathon, it still has a spot on my wall.
Recently, I painted one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn quotes onto a piece of wood to hang in my room as a constant reminder that I can do anything I challenge myself to. The quote states, "It always seems impossible until it is done." Think of all the times you thought success was nowhere in sight. Before a person graduates from college, receives a job, saves enough money for an expensive purchase, earns a spot on a team, or accomplishes anything great, there is always a time of doubt. If you find that you constantly doubt yourself, start each day by giving yourself a compliment, and recognizing a positive trait of yours. Like a collage, if you start piecing your positive qualities together, you will find that they create the beautiful, confident, and determined person that makes.
Where do you find your motivation?
