If you want to feel good about yourself, do good things 
Success is a journey, not a destination
Sometimes I wonder what the difference is between being cautious and being dead.
Optimists enrich the present, enhance the future, challenge the improbable and attain the impossible.
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.
Only those who risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go…
The difference between the impossible, and the possible, lies in a person's determination.
The pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret.
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
There are two ways to meet life; you can stay safe and bored. Or you can care greatly, and live greatly - till life breaks you on it's wheel.
Life is what we make it. The best way to predict your future is to create it.
If your goal is to become more relaxed and happy at home, you must create an activity that is yours exclusively, something you do – just for you.
The object of life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, 'Wow, What a Ride!
The mind is in its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
Mountains are immutable and indifferent; they cannot be conquered. What you conquer are your fears and your perceived limitations.
Celebrate
Celebrate!

Yesterday I walked with an amazing group of Wild Women in hail, rain, sunshine and gale force winds! We experienced heat, cold, wet, mud, steep climbs, spectacular views and were even treated to a rainbow! Wow. It felt good to be alive and to be out there experiencing all the elements and watching how each woman found inner resolve to keep going despite the challenges that we faced. I lay awake last night, unable to sleep, with wind burn on my face, my muddy boots outside my door, contemplating just how fortunate we are to be able to experience these feelings and sensations. I know there are so many people out there who for reasons of ill health or poverty are not as fortunate as us. We need to celebrate being alive and well and having the opportunity to get fitter, stronger and be happier. If you feel like you're always out there searching for something, just take a moment to reflect on everything you have. Inner happiness and contentment is yours to find, but it is also yours to create. Each day is a chance to change something you might not be happy with in your life, or the chance to take on something challenging that will push you out of your comfort zone and help you grow and believe in yourself and all that is possible. It is up to you to make the changes and the first step to realising your goals is to believe that you are in control of your life.
As a mother, friend, wife, daughter, sister, business partner and coach, I am surrounded by amazing people who believe in exercise as a true antidote to ill health and depression, and the key to a long, healthy life and a positive outlook. I look at all the people I have the privilege to be in contact with, and I realise that if you surround yourself with people who inspire and motivate you and who believe in what you do, then you will continue to grow and be inspired to be a fitter, stronger and healthier than ever before.
This week take on the challenge to celebrate being alive! Celebrate every step you walk, every breath you take, every smile you are given, every laugh you hear, every tear you cry, every hug you are given, every rain drop that falls on you, every word you read, every star you see and every blue sky that greets you.
