“I believe that if you do the right verbs you’re going to surround yourself with the best nouns, and that will lead to living a life that merits the greatest adjectives.”
― Chris Bennett, This Is About Running. This Is Not About Running.: Lessons for Between and Beyond the Start and Finish Line – A Philosophy on Resilience, Self-Trust, and Moving Forward

“I don’t think being nervous is a problem. Unless you allow those nerves to hold you back from where you are meant to go, what you are meant to do, who you are meant to be. Because being nervous means you care. It means what you are about to do means something to you. Being nervous means you are passionate. Being nervous means you are alive and you are taking a risk on the chance that you may do something extraordinary. Being nervous means you are making changes. Being nervous means you are trying something new. Being nervous means you are excited. And good gracious, we don’t get excited enough! We don’t get passionate or nerd out about the stuff we love enough. We don’t put ourselves in a position to potentially fail and therefore potentially succeed enough.”
