Quotes to keep going

The results are late, not lost. Keep showing up.

Everyone starts. The difference is who is still there in week six, after the novelty is gone and before the results arrive. These 40 quotes to keep going are for that stretch.

A practical note: when you are close to quitting, make the next step smaller rather than stopping. Do ten minutes instead of sixty, one set instead of five. Keeping the chain unbroken matters more than any single day, which is the idea behind staying consistent.
