The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.

Much of life is about failure, whether we acknowledge it or not, and your destiny is profoundly shaped by how effectively you learn from and adapt to failure.

I have accepted fear as part of life, specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown, and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die.  Or when.  You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.

Training together . . .

 

We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come to regard the world.  The lives that you admire, the attitudes that seem noble to you, have not been shaped by a paterfamilias or a schoolmaster, they have sprung from very different beginnings, having been influenced by evil or commonplace that prevailed around them.  They represent a struggle and a victory.

For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

"Because this sh*t is so much more than just lifting weights, it's so much more than sets and reps, it's so much more than coming to the gym and signing up, there's so much more to this sh*t than you know . . ."

 

I see the notion of talent as quite irrelevant.  I see instead perseverence, application, industry, assiduity, will, will, will, desire, desire, desire . . .

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it.  The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem - he is challenged by it.  Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved.

Talent is just the gift of a headstart.  It isn't what gets you through a practice, across the finish line or onto the podium.
