"And so many people think that you need to be talented in something.  You don't.  Talent is something that we do not need.  What we do need, though, is that heart, that passion, that drive, that willingness to never give up, even though we are facing insurmountable odds.  We have to continue to move forward."

"Now, a lot of people ask me, how do you move forward.  I have so many ways I move forward.  There are a lot of times where I don't know how I'm going to move forward.  But I ask myself one question all the time.  When I'm in the hurt locker, I ask myself one question.  Can you take another step?  And that answer is always, yes."  - David Goggins, "Never Finished"
