G’day Shredders,

Thank you Mark: The Journey To 185, Juli: Run Wild Blog, Doreen, Danny: Physique Improvement, Juan: Lean For Life  for sharing your inspirational quotes in response to yesterday’s Day 658: Power And Passion post.  

The thing that stands out for me from your comments is how music serves as such a powerful emotional trigger for so many people. So, without further adieu, I’d like to share the quotes and music lyrics have inspired my Fellow Shredders, and may just inspire you!

My favourite quote of the moment is from Lance Armstrong:

“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.”

Hey Adam, it is difficult to decide…I have many and a very “kitschy” power-song,is “It is my Life” from Bon Jovi and Midnight Oil’s “Beds are burning”.

My song which influenced me a lot was probably John Lennon’s “Imagine”.

Music is a big force, it motivates a ot, keeps you going and pushing.

You look great today,

Juli

Well I’m a Coldplay fan and most of their music seem to fit my “life script” so to say. And I’ve always felt encouragement whenever I hear these lines from one of their songs, titled “Everything’s Not Lost” :

“And when I counted up my demons, I saw there was one for every day
With the good ones on my shoulders, I send the other ones away”

I guess you can interpret this in different ways. But when I hear them, I hear encouragement.

Theres one song i discovered, that i find very inspiring.
Rob Thomas – Little Wonders

Honestly id like to post the entire song, as it has alot of meaning…
Hmmm hope you dont mind adam…

Here it comes:

Rob Thomas – Little Wonders

Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder,
Don’t you know, the hardest part is over, let it in,
Let your clarity define you in the end,
You will only just remember how it feels.

Our lives are made, in these small hours, these little wonders
These twisted turns of fate, time falls away,
But these small hours, these small hours, still remain.

Let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you, let it shine,
Till you feel it all around you,
And I don’t mind, if it’s me you need to turn to, we’ll get by,
It’s the heart that really matters in the end.

Our lives are made, in these small hours, these little wonders
These twisted turns of fate, time falls away,
But these small hours, these small hours, still remain.
All of my regret, will wash away somehow,
But I cannot forget the way I feel right now.
In these small hours, these little wonders, these twisted turns of fate,
All these twisted turns of fate, these twisted turns of fate
Yeah, times falls away
But these small hours, these small hours, still remain.
They still remain, these little wonders, all these twisted turns of fate
time falls away, but these small hours, these little wonders
Still remain.

A very inspiring song in my oppinion. It describes what shredders go through every day. These small hours in which we work our hardest count the most, and every transformation is a little wonder.
There will always be twists in people’s fates and so we have to adapt.

The funny thing is, that i pretty much discovered this song when i started my blog.
It was a bit ironic, as the firt few lines fi perfectly, describing that the hardest poart is over. People say, that getting started is the hardest part of doing something, and i had just started my Phisique Transformation.

Also this song is very calming, if you have motivation-leeches sucking at you, referring to “let it go, let it roll right of your shoulder, dont you know, the hardest part is over”

Well im done with this comment. If youve made it so far, good job, lol.

Shred on mate.

Danny

Hey Adam and shredders,
I’d like to share some lyrics from a Ben Harper song called fight for your mind. It speaks of making bold movements and fighting for the decisions you make and what you believe in. here’s an excerpt:

“if you’re gonna step,
step on in.
if you’re gonna finish,
you got to begin.
Don’t you fear,
what you don’t know.
Just let that be
your room to grow”

Thanks for all of the songs guys. Music is a huge part of my life and all your lyrics have been inspiring.

 

Until tomorrow…

Eat Clean, Shred Hard, Think BIG!
