What catch phrase do you use often to keep motivated?

I keep thinking about the phrase "we learn something new every day!" and I was going to make a thread about that.... but then I got to thinking, what are other phrases we use, especially as women, to keep ourselves motivated or to motivate or encourage others?

I often use "you can't eat an elephant all in one bite". I heard this over 30 years ago in my direct sales company at the time and it has stuck with me ever since.

I do feel like we have the potential at least, to learn something new every day, as long as we stay open to it. Just yesterday I learned how to send out a Square invoice to a customer because we don't normally do them.

I also have been frequently known to say "what we do today will pay off in 3 weeks". Another one I learned over 30 years ago. I've said it enough times that my husband has finally learned it and started using it. I just heard him say it to someone the other day.

What are some that you use and why?

STAY IN YOUR LANE.

Stick to vision.
Try again tomorrow.

You can’t pour from an empty cup.

”let’s burn the place down”

😂 that one we use more often than not.

LMAO- when I'm overwhelmed and I have a lot to do- and it's the end of the day- I say, "tomorrow is another tomorrow."

Ya, know, that's not just truth but the comfort in knowing that you will have another chance to get things done and the reminder that you cannot do it all in one day.

This is so real 😂

I think the key is having grace on ourselves.

I think @DinaLRosenberg is one we can always count on to be real 😏 but in all honesty, yes... there is always tomorrow because tomorrow never comes and it gives us grace to try again another day.

Absolutely! One foot in front of the other.
