I keep a notebook filled with inspirational quotes beside my computer. I read one every morning, but when I'm feeling especially down, I add more to the quotes.
MORE INFORMATION:
Reading and writing the quotes makes me feel more confident in myself, even when something has brought me down.

I read a quote today that is going to inspire me to stick with my goals. I think inspiration and motivation are keys/secrets to success, in anything.
"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
There is no food that is as good as the feel of being the right size. Someone gave me this today to help when I have this strong pull to eat unhealthy or out of control. How true it is. May it be inspiration and motivation to other SP!312306
For the first few months I needed to log on to keep me going in the right direction...but time & time again, I've gotten home tired and ready to give up. After going through the Sparkpoints, I found nuggets of inspiration and motivation that got me off my tookus and in to exercise. My attitude was better and once I started to exercise, my positive frame of mind was back! 220252104
