This article helped give me the confidence to change my life completely: http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php?id=15

It's an article that Mark Twight, creator of Gym Jones wrote about making positive change in your life.

At the time I read it I was living with my ex-girlfriend who did not make me happy, working 3-8 hour days a week to pay for my half of the rent/bills, and going to school full-time. While she didn't work cause her Dad paid for her half of the rent/bills, she took less credit hours in school than I did, and yet she still bitched constantly about how difficult her life was.

Reading that article and realizing how I did not like who I had become and the life I was living gave me enough strength to break up with her (after 5 years of dating), move out (and still pay my half of the last 2 months rent) and move back in with my parents, take more classes per semester so I can graduate this winter, and begin weightlifting as seriously as I wanted to.

I've never been happier.

I second this, all of the stuff in the Gym Jones knowledge section is awesome.

"The mountain is only a mountain."
- can't remember

This reminds me of an old Zen saying that goes roughly, in the beginning a tree is a tree and a mountain is a mountain, and later a tree is no longer a tree and a mountain is no longer a mountain but finally a tree is just a tree and a mountain is only a mountain again. Or something like that my favourite at the moment is:

Hell is not punishment,
it's training. - Shunryu Suzuki

Logic breaks, bones shatter and muscles give in, only one thing stay ... THE HART.

[Aka]

"As you think, you shall become! ",
"Confidence is not about expecting success, or about being successful. It's about not fearing failure.",
"You can't be afraid to walk amongst the heavy hitters or you will never become one of them",
"The only thing keeping you from what you want… is the story you tell yourself why you can’t have it.",
"You only have control over three things in your life- the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take. How you use these three things determines everything you experience."
