I'm an Irish dancer, and in my years of pain, suffering and hard work, I've come across a ton of quotes that helped me through. One particular competition, the 2010 Nationals, I had worked myself so hard that I was in constant pain simply by walking, and in constant stress about the upcoming competition. My dancing teacher made me write down quotes and positive statements on a piece of paper and bring them to her the lesson before the competition. When I did, she then told me to stuff it in my bra and dance with those quotes next to my heart.
On stage, every time I landed a jump, pain shot through my shins. It reverberated through my diaphragm as I struggled to breathe, or see through the sweat. But every time I landed, I prepared for another jump, another chance to soar and woo the world with a little piece of courage stuffed into my bra. These are some of the quotes that got me through.
Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.
~ Jesse Jackson
"A champion is someone who goes so far they can't go another inch—and then they go that inch."
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
~ Lance Armstrong
I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.
~ Michael Jordan
