âIn football, you might get your bell rung, but you go in with the expectation that you might get hurt, and you hope to win and come out unscathed. As a distance runner, you know youâre ...Expand for more
going to get your bell rung. Distance runners are experts at pain, discomfort, and fear. Youâre not coming away feeling good. Itâs a matter of how much pain you can deal with on those days. Itâs not a strategy. Itâs just a callusing of the mind and body to deal with discomfort. Any serious runner bounces back. Thatâs the nature of their game. Taking pain.â -Chris Lear

âA true soul mate is probably the most important person youâll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mateâs purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.â ~Elizabeth Gilbert
"We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;â
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems."
-Arthur O'Shaughnessy
"Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid."
