"The doing of the activity is usually not the hardest part. It’s the getting yourself to do it."

"You have stretched yourself. You have explored something and gotten a sense of what it is like based on the reality of it, not simply conjecture."

"You are capable of taking action even when you don’t feel like it, and you have benefited from doing so."
