Today is Quotable Sunday thanks to Toni at A Daily Dose of Toni. Each Sunday, we share a few of our favorite quotes. This week, I decided to focus on perseverance. I need to lose 20 pounds. I decided to take baby steps and focus on my goal 10 pounds at time. My goal is to lose 10 pounds within the next 8 weeks and I must embrace perseverance to be successful. My weight has been a struggle for me over the years, I can’t manage to get it off I love food, but I hate to exercise. My health has become a factor now, I’m borderline diabetic so it’s imperative that I start exercising regularly and get off the excess weight.
I’m scared to death of needles so that’s another incentive for me to work hard. I can’t imagine giving myself insulin shots.
Here are a few quotes for those of us who need to perserve with some endeavor:
“Consider the postage stamp; its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.” Josh Billings
“I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.” John D. Rockefeller
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill
“Success seems to be connected with action. Successful men keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” Conrad Hilton
“In order to get from what was to what will be, you must go through what is.” Anonymous
“Never give up. Never, never give up! We shall go on to the end.” Winston Churchill
My favorite quote is the first one by Josh Billings. Leave us a comment and let us know your favorite quote this week. If you would like to join us and share your quotes, visit A Daily Dose of Toni and leave the link to your blog.
Quotable Sunday
It’s Quotable Sunday. I love quotes, and I thank Toni at A Daily of Toni for creating the opportunity to share a few of my favorite quotes. This week I decided to focus on Success. I chose Success because I’ve had to make a decision regarding my mother, placing her in a Nursing Home temporarily for rehabilitation. I lost my father 10 years ago.
I’ve spent hours this week-end thinking about who I am, where I’ve been, and where I intend to go. I looked at the pictures of my beautiful daughter and grandson, my most precious possessions. I know that my mother and father are the foundation of my Success. How else could I end up here from where I came from. They never stopped encouraging, supporting or loving me, and that has truly been the reasons for my success. Here’s to you Mom and Dad:
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.

I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don’t do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.

It’s Quotable Sunday thanks to Toni at A Daily Dose of Toni. I love Quotable Sunday. It’s an opportunity for me to reflect on the quotes that I share with my readers.
