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.
Dare to Dream

DARE TO DREAM!
“If you have a dream, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” Johann Goethe
Daring to dream and take on big adventure challenges is life changing because it allows you to conquer your fears and perceived limitations.
An extreme adventure challenge will always involve fear. And to control fear you think of the challenge as a series of steps. There is no single step you cannot make and you keep moving forward every day, until you achieve the goal. You learn that there are no impossible obstacles and the only barriers were in your own mind.
And overcoming fear is so empowering and life changing that the lessons you learn will be applied to every aspect of your life.
You will be taking big risks and dealing with those risks will call on dormant strengths in yourself that you might never have discovered. Nothing is more empowering than taking a risk and succeeding.
And, of course your children will learn from your experience too. They will see that anything is possible, if you allow yourself to dream.
An extreme adventure challenge also gives you a training goal that is so motivating, you will commit to your fitness no matter what other factors try to prevent you from training.
Our recent Rinjani trip is a great example of this. Eighteen months ago, my daughter and I never thought it would happen. People booked and cancelled and we struggled with our finances. But, several meetings, two fundraising concerts, a knee operation, hundreds of Freddos and killer pythons, countless family issues and a challenging climb later, we were standing on the crater rim, enjoying the most stunning view overlooking an emerald lake and an erupting volcano in Lombok.
It was an awesome adventure; powerful and magic and infinitely fulfilling. Just do it!
