Our fate is determined by how far we are prepared to push ourselves to stay alive - the decisions we make to survive. We must do whatever it takes to endure and make it through alive.
Why is it that the finish line always tends to appear just after the point at which we most want to give up? is it the universe's way of reserving the best for those who can give the most? What I do know, from nature, is that the dawn only appears after the darkest hour.
Yes, the Boy Scouts of America should definitely allow gay adult leaders and I think it's really going to hold them back if they don't.
The rules of survival never change, whether you're in a desert or in an arena.
Make a little time to be quiet by yourself every day and just be.
If you risk nothing you gain nothing
I've seen extreme bravery from the least likely of people. Life is about the moments when it's all gone wrong. That's when we define ourselves.
You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times. There's life in a nutshell.
Live a wild, generous full, exciting life – blessing those around you and seeing the good in all.
I was always brought up to have a cup of tea at halfway up a rock face.
I exercise about 40 minutes a day, and I'll run one day and do circuit training the next day. I live in an area where there are brilliant hills and mountains, so I get a good hill run with my dog. At home, I'll do the circuit training with old weights, along with pull-ups in the trees and that sort of stuff.
A wise man knows; learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.
Survival is not about being fearless. It's about making a decision, getting on and doing it, because I want to see my kids again, or whatever the reason might be.
Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.
