Very fitting.........at least for me.

I was starting to lose hope and was talking to a friend of mine about it.  I said I thought I needed some type of inspiration or something to keep me going when I just felt like giving up.  He sent me this a little bit ago with a note saying that if I really thought I needed inspiration then maybe I should read the quote he found.  He added what's in the ( ) to make it fit the situation.  Here it is: "We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start (or continue) a thing.  Action always generates inspiration.  Inspiration seldom generates action."  --  Frank Tibolt I have no idea who Frank Tibolt is but I like what he had to say. 

Ohhhhh I like it! :-)  Kinda like... JUST DO IT! huh? :o) Thanks for sharing!   Mind if I share a couple of quotes that inspire me? :-) "You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there." ~ Edwin Louis Cole

"Discipline is remembering what you want." ~ David Campbell Angie

Thanks for these additional quotes, Angie!  I replied to Dawn's original post to thank her and told her I'm going to type up these great quotes & put them inside my pantry door--where I often find myself standing there "window shopping" for something to eat.   I love both of your quotes, as well as hers!  Thanks! Jo

Thanks for sharing - that is very fitting for me as well! Susan in VT

Thank you, Dawn!!!  I love this!  I think it's very, very true; I'm glad you reminded me!   Just over the wkend, I dug out my little stash of my fattest pictures that I keep in an envelope.  I just shake my head when I look at them and can hardly believe that's what I looked like.  I almost can't remember how I felt physically, but I look so miserable in spite of my smiles in the photos.  Anyway, I don't want to post these all over the place (partly cause I don't want to get "immune" to seeing them), but I really think they might be "inspiring" to look at about once a week!! I DO think I'll post your quote inside my pantry door (where I often get into trouble!), as well as the quotes from another post-er! Thanks for sharing! Jo

I'm glad you liked it.  It made a lot of sense to me.  I'm going to post it on my bathroom mirror so I can see it frequently.  When I'm trying to talk myself out of cheating on my meals that's where I go.  lol  And thank you Angie for the quotes you posted.  I will be adding those to the mirror as well.

Oh!!! Me likey!!!
