"Sometimes you have to be your own hero." - Mirage
Connie says, "Oh, how desperately I wanted to, literally yearned to be Cinderella when I was a little girl. I suppose I wanted someone to rescue me. I've become one of the great heroes in my own journey and I am proud of that. You can choose to be one of your heroes as well. What heroic act will you perform on your own behalf today?"
"The secret of having it all is believing you already do." - John Assaraf
Connie says, "How many times will you need to hear that your mind and your thinking are critical to your success? What negative thought will you stamp out today so you can fully enjoy the benefits of your hard work?"
"Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it hope. Feed it truth. Feed it with love." - Natural Life
Connie says, "Oooooh! Oooooh! Oooooh! Don't you just hate it when you realize that you're responsible for what you tell yourself? You can talk to yourself critically and feed your shame or you can talk to yourself kindly and feed your strength, courage, and determination."
"Happiness is not fulfilling every pleasure or getting every outcome you desire. Happiness is being able to enjoy life with a peaceful mind that is not constantly craving for more." - Yung Pueblo
Connie says, "Didn't get to some arbitrary goal weight and so you call yourself a failure? OR... whatever weight loss you have achieved has resulted in numerous health improvements. Attitude matters when it comes to that happiness we're seeking!"
"True life is lived when tiny changes occur." - Leo Tolstoy.
Connie says, "I recently read a book called "Tiny Habits," which encourages us to start making tiny daily changes. Start with this... when you wake up, state very clearly, 'THIS is gonna be a good day!' Try that and other 'tiny habits' that make your day brighter! "
