That's what motivation does. Today I'm talking about my friend Croy, who's about to run 110 miles across Death Valley and climb Mount Whitney — solo, unassisted, at 55.

Find the benefit that keeps you showing up, even if it's not the one you put on the poster. That's the payoff. Memorable Quotes It doesn't matter whether you achieve the goal.
