This is from the "8 Must Read Success Lessons from Dr. Seuss". Good shit - the rest are:
1. Be Who You Are
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
2. Trouble Your Troubles
“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
3. You Decide
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
4. It’s Up To You
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
5. Think
“You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.”
6. The More You Know
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you’ll go.”
7. Your Mountain Is Waiting
“Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting.
8. You Are You
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

Get busy liftin or get busy dyelin
- Mo-gainz freeman
I don't have any cool picture lads, but I'll say this.
Imagine everything that was missing from your childhood being fulfilled.
Had a broken family? Now imagine having a large, warm family, and retiring in a well-off household, with children who are successful because you could give them everything you didn't get in your childhood.
Were you always unconfident and shy? Now imagine being a company's CEO, or leading an expedition to climb Everest, and being recognised as THE leader of the room.
Were you a frail social outcast? Now imagine being a sikk cunt and being the charismatic legend everyone likes.
Look to your deepest passions and scars to find out what you want from life, and go chase it.
I'll dump some of my shit
>>37322261
This reminds me of a very personal quote
"The greatest struggle in your life should not be, and is not, with society, but with yourself" - Prager University.
Give yourself responsibility for everything that happens. No matter who's fault it may look like, it is your fault. If someone else fucks up, you didn't check up on them enough. If an adverse event fucks you over, you didn't prepare for it. When you begin to claim responsibility for everything in your life, you become a leader. You begin to force yourself to do your best to build your fate, and you do.
Oh shit waddup
Fit for all of your bullshit, all your pettiness, all of the horrible advice and fake ass stats you give out, I'm proud of you. You may be assholes, but you're improving yourself, whatever the reason, and I'm proud of you for it. Keep getting those sweet gains son
>>37320864
They totally failed their graphic design courses.
I was depressed and suicidal for a long time before I just decided to take control of my own mind and emotions.
Emotional and mental strength is trained the same way your body is. You practice the skill of restraint and suppression and condition your mind to think differently.
An example of this is whenever something shitty happens to you, don't spiral into a pit of self-pity but try to see the good in it and change your mood to a positive one from a negative one. The more you do this, the less shitty thoughts you have, the less depressed you are, and the more in control of your mind you are when you feel depressed.
Mental strength is equally as important as physical strength. What good is a strong body that has a weak mind?
>>37322482
I'm proud of you anon, fucking nice
>>37322482
This, attitude is everything.
When I was 15 I had a mega-conservative phase, was obsessed with self-discipline and the if-you-fail-it's-your-fault mentality. I sorted my life out, overcame depression, felt happy, and read ahead on material that made me excel academically and literally transformed my grades. I remember it because it was such a powerful time. We may dislike conservashits for their boring and senile way of life but they have the morals in place to raise strong successful people.

>>37322482
Mental strength is your greatest asset. There is something strong in you, more profound, more primordial than anything you can ever imagine. Something that only comes roaring out in a life-or-death situation.
All this bullshit is just words, the internet, the chans, just a universe of meaningless words. Faggots trying to tear you down who think just because they got it in writing that it applies to you, that it's TRUE. It's only ever been your mind that makes you feel like shit. It's only ever been a feeling. Nip the feeling at the root, and boom. No feeling, no problem. Someone calls you a faggot, so what? If it doesn't bother you, what's gonna happen? Mouths are gonna materialize out of the aether to call you a faggot? Your brain's gonna hijack your body and make you more effeminate? No feeling like a faggot, no problem when someone calls you one.
It took me to get to the brink of suicide to realize there was a Self inside me that was so much larger and purer than the one that nearly killed himself over rejection, loneliness, what people thought about me, shitty thoughts, how I looked in the mirror, etc.

exploding your semen inside an attractive girl hours after being almost too nervous to talk to her trumps that feel tenfold
>>37322958
>>37322737
>>37322541
Another tip for conquering mental and emotional weakness is to look at your problems objectively.
Why am I sad? What is really going to make me happy? Where do these feelings of depression stem from? Is it just a phase? Is it temporary?
I have bipolar disorder so I overcome shitty feelings by telling myself that they're temporary. Same goes for emotional distress after a breakup or a loved one dying. Rationalize it as a temporary condition. You don't give up when you get a cold or the flu, why give up because of temporary shitty feelings? Depression is one of the most malleable mental illnesses because it's heavily influenced by your mindset, even bipolar disorder like I have.
It's really a question of whether or not you want to be happy. Do you want to be happy? Yes? Then you have to force yourself to be happy. You have to MAKE it work.

Another favorite of mine. Bodybuilding, lifting, whatever it is you say we do...it's a solitary sport. There's no beating anyone else, everyone's trophy body ends up looking different. Becoming "strong" or "better looking" is only something you can judge based on where your starting point and your goal. Set the bar really high and don't sell yourself short. Be proud when you reach that bar, then find a higher one to climb to. Anything less is selling yourself short.
>>37323091
This is a great quote but it's not Arnies, if that matters. It's a snip from a longer one of some fitness chicks, believe it or not. Regardless, it summarizes perfectly the misconceptions about vanity and ego in our little world.

As many others said, inspiring post and the absolute truth.
Here is my personal favorite. Heard it in a movie and had to look it up, turns out it's Emerson. Really reminded me of what it means to be a human in the world, the importance of living a connected life, not one in isolation.

I CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WORTHY HOBBY TO PURSUE!!!!!!
I want to thank /fit/. I'm a scrawny skellington who, until very recently, had no direction in life. Graduated college, no idea what to do. Was only in college because it was something to do while I considered my life.
Now I'm gonna be joining the military, and I feel invigorated. Knowing what to do has given me vigor, and I've started working to get into shape. Oddly, the hardest thing for me isn't working out, but eating. I can barely force myself to eat big without puking, but I'm giving it my damnedest, and seeing the successful people on here pushes me onward. I've already put on about 5 pounds, and my pushups have gone from laughable to half-decent. Haven't begun true lifting yet, as I've been working on hitting the minimum pushup/situp/run standards for the Army, but I'm getting fitter, at least.
Thanks for being an inspiration for people to make an improvement in their lives, /fit/. To find such a thing on 4chan is a marvel. God bless.

>"Insecurity is one of the most useless emotions." I mean, think about it. When…what has it done for you lately? What has insecurity ever done for you? Not a damn thing, right? Except maybe bum you out and keep you down. And the worst part is, because confidence is the single most attractive quality a person can have, focusing on your weakness actually makes you less attractive.

So is something like woodworking.

I agree that the quote and picture not matching in any way is stupid.
However I think that is Chris sharma, who is an incredible, pioneering, and immensely humble dude. Things sharma actually says would qualify as inspiring quotes so it pretty silly.
Sharma is all about accepting the present as it is and persisting at challenges when you can't know that success is possible, which is very relevant to me at least.

I was a self-pitying suicidal fat fuck, excuse of a human being with depression and addiction. It is almost a year since I started to browse /fit/. Defeating inner demons is never easy. Taming the body was as hard as taming the mind.
Today I had my first date ever, I don't remember the last time I was happy. It's all because of you fuckers. I love every single one of you. We're all going to make it, every single one of us.
I've given up guys. I can't join the army in my country because my eyesight is too bad. I put so much work getting this because it's a really competitive job and I ended up missing it because of something I can't control.

Are any of you willing to die for a dangerous dream?
Not just die, but give your life to it.

The only quote to ever speak to me
>>37331810
Well, I pumped a bit of money into mine and made a propane forge. If you wanna go that route you've gotta buy a propane bottle, gas regulators, torch hose, fire bricks/ceramic blanket/refractory cement, and you have to build a burner.
I'd recommend you go with coal. There are tons of videos out there on how to quickly throw a coal forge together. You can basically get by with a couple 2x4s, some clay out of your back yard, and a hair dryer. You can make your own charcoal as well if coal isn't cheap or readily available in your area.
You're also gonna want to collect a couple hammers. Start with a two or three pound hammer and eventually move up to a four pound or even a six if you're a fucking man.
Then find yourself some kind of anvil-like object (old piece of railroad track, chunk of thick mild steel plate, or maybe even an old anvil if you can find one in your area for real cheap. The heavier the better)
The cool part about blacksmithing is you can make all of your other tools. Google up some guides on how to make tongs, punches, dies, etc...
If you wanna make knives, it gets a little more complicated because hardening and tempering come into play and you have to know what kind of steel you're using; if you just wanna craft some cool ironwork shit, though, any scrap will do. Just gotta learn the different hammer strikes and get used to how steel moves under your hammer.
I wish I could post you some links but I'm on my phone. You're gonna have to search around for more in depth info.
With some luck though you could easily get started within a weekend. Try it out. I hope you like it as much as I do. I can get lost for hours doing this shit. It's very therapeutic.

There is a difference. It is natural for a man to be angered. Anger fuels us, and drives us to better ourselves. Do not be ashamed to be angry, and utilize it. However to be controlled by it, and be prone to outward bursts of anger for others to see is weakness. In this way, Marcus was correct.
