We focus on the reasons why we ‘can’t’ at the expense of the far greater reasons why we ‘can’.

Apathy is giving up when we need to get up.

The restless adventurer within me stands eye-to-eye with the fear that has stepped directly in my path. And the thing I absolutely must not do is to blink first.

I don’t necessarily sit around inviting life to knock me down, but when it does I don’t wait around for an invitation to stand back up either.

We need to assess the risk not just to assess the risk, but to determine if there is any risk at all. For if there is none, we might have an idea but we don’t have a dream.

Simply giving something ‘a shot’ is not giving something our ‘best,’ for our best is made up of as many ‘shots’ as it takes in order to be our best.

Risk is the clue that our dreams are both real and great.

Do not confuse stubbornness with tenacity, for the former is blind to reason while the latter has no reason to be blind.
