Never, ever give up. And smile

Hard work and an open mind - it's the only way to realize the potential that is inside every one of us.

There's an importance of keeping an open mind. The brain is programmed to protect us, and that can mean imposing limits on what it thinks we can or should do. Constantly push at those limits, because the brain can be way too cautious.

When things are tough, you get tougher.

I run to feel complete, to feel alive, to feel happy, and to feel free. I run to visit beautiful places, to overcome my fears, and to remind myself - and others - that our limits may not be where we think they are.

No one should ever be afraid of failing; it's being afraid to give it your all in trying that I urge against.

Pick your battles, and accept yourself for who you are.
