Irreverence is a declaration of independence.

You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.

Sometimes life isn't about who you were or are, but it's about who you are becoming.

A good work is a partnership between you and nature... Nature will help you every step of the way.

DO IT RIGHT, DO IT WRONG, BUT DO IT. Squeeze your eyes shut and jump. Because a wonderful thing happens then. Your focus shifts from yourself, your nervousness, and your imagined inadequacies to the task at hand.

Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away.

Whatever your dreams are, start taking them very, very seriously.
