Try this before coffee

It’s the start of a brand new week AND a brand new month. Happy May Day, y’all!

Sometimes the morning can make any day feel like mayday—and just so we’re crystal clear, I’m talking about a distress signal, not flowers and sunshine. 😉

In honor of making a fresh start this week so we can really enjoy all the flowers and sunshine, we rounded up a few of our favorite motivational mantras so that we can go out and MAKE SHIT HAPPEN this morning, this month, and this life!

Any one of these are a good, healthy kick in the rear!

• You have a choice. You can throw in the towel or use the towel to wipe the sweat off your face.
• Fit is not a destination. It is a way of life.
• A goal without a plan is just a wish.
• Get 1% better everyday.
• Plan as if you will live forever but live as if you’ll die tomorrow.
• Focus on the PROCESS… not the product.
• Forward progress, just keep moving.

Pretty good, right? 🙂 Now, if you’re ready to take the next step and move beyond one-liners, try this post out for some serious get-moving inspo. Here’s a teaser:

Thoroughbreds like hanging out with thoroughbreds. They don’t like hanging out with donkeys.

That last one may be my favorite. Think about it.

Thoroughbreds are fast, beautiful animals. They love to train. They eat the best food. They get equissage. Many receive acupuncture. They are million-dollar animals. And they are treated as such.

Donkeys are jacka@$$&$es.

Which one are you? A donkey or a thoroughbred? Or which one do you want to be?

Exactly. I heard you. THOROUGHBRED!
