motivational running hard-work
Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.
motivation inspiration climbing
That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to take a deep breath and begin climbing again.
motivation inspiration
You learn as much from those who have failed as from those who have succeeded.

motivational track beats
The only one who can beat me is me.

As an athlete, I'd average four hours a day. It doesn't sound like a lot when some people say they're training for 10 hours, but theirs includes lunch, massage and breaks. My four hours was packed with work.

I work hard to improve myself as a person - as a father, as a husband, as a manager. I'm always on that mission.

The basis of self-discipline: Don't allow the edges to blur.
