“Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don't know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don't know.” — Pema Chödrön

If you’ve gotten deep into any type of athletic or competitive pursuit — you’ve probably been advised that you need discipline. You’ve got to stick to a routine, follow through on commitments, and stay focused on your long-term goals — even when temptation or distraction arises. No excuses.

I was going to get CALM, god damnit. And I was going to wake up every morning at 5:45am in order to get there — come hell, late nights, or high water.
