I’m not going to lie, most people are lazy when it comes to their goals. You see something or someone and want to be like them or do something, but then you just go back to your regular antics — watching TV, playing video games, sleeping.
These activities may bring pleasure in the moment but they don’t move you ahead in life and ultimately won’t be what moves you forward towards your goals.
I’ll share 40 quotes I collected while training at Me vs Me Gym, which I wrote down in my notebook. These quotes are personal to me because they speak about fitness, personal development, and self-improvement.
