This is a piece of paper that I've had for over ten years. An English Teacher at my high school had this posted on his door. I'm not sure how I obtained it, I may have taken it or asked him for it, but I've had it ever since. Whenever I feel uninspired, lazy, or like I need to improve on a skill -- I dig it out and read it. I remind myself of the person I once was and, hopefully, continue to be.
I'm not writing this to encourage you to find your spirit. I've done that before. I like the memory and I want to share it with you. If you are inspired as a result then that's good too.
If I were rewriting these words to myself, today, I would say following:
FACE IT. No one owes you a healthy body. Eating cookies for breakfast is directly related to how you feel later today. Oooooppps.
Victoria, Love this quote & love your blog! You're an inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!! I'm reading from Hungary. This quote is inspirating!:)
ReplyDeleteI don't think you're blogging anymore, but I found my way to you via the Joan Didion memoir essay... But this list of No Excuses is so true and probably remains relevant for a long time! As for the cookies for breakfast, I'd add pretzels for dinner. Sour cream and chives flavour 😊
