      Can we tell ourselves a beautiful lie , convince ourself TO BELIEVE THE LIES OR DO WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH OUR SELFS , DO WE KOW DEEP DOWN ITS A LIE

      I do this all the time. always do the same thing and I know it won't get me anywhere

  • we go so far and then our brains take over and tell us it’s too hard.

      This is me all the way, I put my mind to something and then I tell myself its too much work I have to give up.
  • Think right now about something you keep stopping. You committed to it, but then you suddenly quit because it started to require a little extra elbow grease.

      It was freshmen year and I was studying so hard to past the algebra regents. I went to prep after school on wensday and thursday. When the test finally came I didn't show up on the day because, I thought I wasn't ready to take the test.
  • Because the more you stop and think about quitting, the longer it’ll take to get to your desired result. Or worse, you’ll never know what it feels like to reach the finish line.
    • Ruth Mitchell

      This is so true and very motivating.
  • You’re either scared to start because it means your life will change or you want it for the wrong reasons (i.e. someone else is encouraging you to do it).
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      I also do this, whenever I have to change something about myself I think about all the things that will change because of it.
  • You have a choice in everything you do.

      This statement is so true. Anything that has to do with me a have a choice. 
  • You are not so worthless that you have to keep dating that person.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      Unhealthy relationships is something that can hold you back, and their is always a choice to walk away.
  • Eventually, you’ll have to ask yourself whether you even want to fix the problem.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      It all depends if you want to stay in the situation or remove yourself from it. 
  • So when you say yes to a happy hour, you’re saying no to <insert your choice of workout>.
  • You may just need to analyze when you’re saying yes and what you’re trading for it.
  • There will be rewards along the way and there will be a great sense of accomplishment at the end.

      This passage is very inspiring. It pin outs all of the things that cause me to not succeed in life. Anything you want you must have the drive and passion to achieve it. However, their are always little issues that would keep you back. For example "quitting at things you think is to hard". You always have a choice in anything you choose to do. Giving up will only keep you in the same spot you don't want to be in. I came to the understanding that the only way am going to be successful is by putting all doubts out my mind and working to my best ability. Quite avoiding and work hard to reach success. It'll all feel breath taking when you finally achieve it, thats when you will appreciate all of the hard ships it put you through.
