NO EXCUSES - The Motivation Thread
« on: November 10, 2010, 10:45:45 PM »
Sometimes we are weak...

Sometimes we realize we've been giving up...
Sometimes we need a little extra boost...
Sometimes we need to be lifted up or pushed forward...
Sometimes we have to be shown there's still heart in the world...
Sometimes we just want to believe...

Welcome to the Motivation Thread
Our motto: NO EXCUSES.

Videos, pictures, stories, speeches, anything.
If you contribute make sure it's a good one.



I'll start us out with a bang...
I Still Have A Soul

Fight Club (It's only a clip.)


Jane Austen's fight club

Yes, Jane Austen.

Zombies

It's kind of a motivation for me. I dunno why.

Sweet.  Totally need this right now.  Don't want to do my shoulder rehab right now, but I'm doing it any way.
