I always wanted to be a sprinter.

When you're gone I can go running though the house screaming and no one will ever hear me.

You owe it to yourself to find your own unorthodox way of succeeding, or sometimes, just surviving.

It is important that you strive for humility, but not humiliation, for a cool, level-headed confidence, not a stiff, delusional arrogance.

Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.

That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to take a deep breath and begin climbing again.

You can make goals for family, relationships, anything.
