“Joy, collected over time, breeds resilience.”

“I was alone. In the uniqueness of the experience, no one knew my reality. But what was more unique, was being gracefully on the receiving end of life’s work and passion. A tree branch being visited by birds with no agenda other than to share what comes natural.”

“I had never thought that I was good enough, fast enough, strong enough, thin enough, pretty enough, smart enough, or any other “enough.” Nothing I did had ever met my own unattainable expectations of what “enough” was. Is that why I threw myself into the hardest physical endeavor I could think of? Was I simply desperate to do something that would make me approve of myself?”
― Heather Anish Anderson, Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home

“is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out where the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood. At best, he knows the triumph of high achievement; if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory or defeat.”
― Larry Semento, Tears in the Wind: Triumph and Tragedy on America’s Highest Peak
