“you don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. you get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. if you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better... you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.” — georges st-pierre

“i know how tired you must feel. i know that you’ve been working so hard. but these things are hurting you. everything is about to change, but you have to dare to proceed in a whole new way. you have to wake up in the morning and say, i will not do the old things that i’ve always done. this is the start of my real life. this is the day i started treating myself like someone who matters.” — heather havrilesky
