Grit is what’s left over when nothing’s left. - Alexi Pappas

Like losing your virginity, you can talk about the marathon all you want but it’s impossible to really know what it’s like until you actually do the thing.

"That's what being a Bravey is - you are making a conscious choice to tell yourself what you'd like to be until it becomes a part of you. You choose to replace "can't" with "maybe" by acknowledging your feelings, but focusing on your actions. Your actions encompass everything from what you do with your time, to who you surround yourself with, to the words you feed your mind. To know you can do this for yourself is the most powerful thing in the world."

Discipline, I learned, just means making choices in favor of your goals. It doesn't mean you're un-chill; it means you know what you want.
