If you want to feel good about yourself, do good things 
Success is a journey, not a destination
Sometimes I wonder what the difference is between being cautious and being dead.
Optimists enrich the present, enhance the future, challenge the improbable and attain the impossible.
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.
Only those who risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go…
The difference between the impossible, and the possible, lies in a person's determination.
The pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret.
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
There are two ways to meet life; you can stay safe and bored. Or you can care greatly, and live greatly - till life breaks you on it's wheel.
Life is what we make it. The best way to predict your future is to create it.
If your goal is to become more relaxed and happy at home, you must create an activity that is yours exclusively, something you do – just for you.
The object of life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, 'Wow, What a Ride!
The mind is in its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
Mountains are immutable and indifferent; they cannot be conquered. What you conquer are your fears and your perceived limitations.
TEAM
T.E.A.M – Together Everyone Achieves More!
It was night time on Friday, and we were walking the trail from Kambora to Davidson, the moon bright above us, and the quiet of the bush surrounding us. In my head several little voices were talking and the pain in my feet and the nausea in my tummy were all competing to get my attention. But then my team mate broke in to song and I was happily distracted, enjoying the tune and knowing that each step I took was getting us closer to the 100km finish line. This is the power of the TEAM. Without Millie's happy tunes, Kel's A to Z games, Shona's quirky stories and the unconditional support of Di and Roz as our support crew, I have no doubt I would never have reached that finish line. This is one of the hardest journeys I have ever taken. But I look back now and think that it was all worth it. The suffering, the elation, the discomfort, the joy, are all juxtaposing feelings - when in your life are you privileged to experience such a cocktail of emotions and feelings - and all within 24 hours! Perhaps only second to childbirth! The best part is that through the support of all the Wild Women and our family and friends, we can change the lives of those less fortunate than us, who experience hardships much greater than that, on a daily basis. I loved being part of the Wild Women On Top teams for Trailwalker 2010 - at the start line, the excitement and energy was palpable. Every purple shirt I saw made me feel proud to be a part of such an amazing group of women. Every SMS we received spurred us on, and we have been overwhelmed by the love and support received from all the Wild Women - all over the world! The power of the Team is such that all three Wild Women On Top teams finished with all four team members over the line in less than 28 hours! On behalf of all the Wild Women On Top Trailwalkers, we'd also like to thank our support crew, who were the guardian angels at each checkpoint - who strapped our stinky feet, carried our heavy bags and made sure we got back on the trail with our camelbacks full of water and snacks in our bags. You guys are truly the glue that holds it all together and we couldn't do it without you!
