Fitness is not about being better than someone else... It's about being better than you used to be.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events — how we interpret them — that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.
