• He who stands on tiptoe
  doesn't stand firm.
  He who rushes ahead
  doesn't go far.
  He who tries to shine
  dims his own light.
  He who defines himself
  can't know who he really is.
  He who has power over others
  can't empower himself.
  He who clings to his work
  will create nothing that endures.

  Laozi

• In regard of God, patience is a submission to His sovereignty. To endure a trial, simply because we cannot avoid or resist it, is not Christian patience. But to humbly submit because it is the will of God to inflict the trial, to be silent because the sovereignty of God orders it - is true godly patience.

  Stephen Charnock

• It hurts, but that’s all it does. The most difficult part of the training is training your mind. You build calluses on your feet to endure the road. You build calluses on your mind to endure the pain. There’s only one way to do that. You have to get out there and run.

  David Goggins

  202 Copy quote

• What I've done serves mostly to show that nearly all limits are self-imposed, a false construct of the mind. You can take on mind-boggling challenges. It may cause you grief, it may test your relationships and cause you to question your sanity, but you can do it! Yes, a fifty-seven year-old man can run across the United States and break a couple or records in the process. People of any age can accomplish what few others have done; we can endure the trials, overcome the obstacles, put up with the pain to realize our dreams. Why not try?
