All worthwhile journeys have big obstacles. It's the way of the world. The rewards go to those who can push through those trying moments and still manage to keep a smile on their face.

More quotes by Bear Grylls
I've had so many injuries in my life that it's ridiculous.
Bear Grylls
Eating any of these things, goat testicles or what have you, isn't going to be nice, but you get into that zone, you become focussed and you do what you need to do. It's all about one thing: coming home in one piece.
Bear Grylls
Nobody else is stupid enough to get themselves into the straits that I get into.
Bear Grylls
I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.
Bear Grylls
Well, wolves will pretty rarely hunt. You're vulnerable if you're on your own or injured. But for lone wolves, get up high, show them that you're not injured, face 'em off, be authoritarian with it, and look 'em in the eye.
Bear Grylls
The hardest thing about my job isn't the snake bites or the crocodiles, it's being away from my children. I have a really religious satellite phone call every day back to the boys, wherever we are, whatever time zone, to say goodnight.
Bear Grylls
I've fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.
Bear Grylls
Textbook survival tells you to stay put. Stop. Wait for rescue. Don't take any risks. But there'd been a whole host of survival shows like that and I didn't really want to do that.
Bear Grylls
Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.
Bear Grylls
Adventure should be 80 percent 'I think this is manageable,' but it's good to have that last 20 percent where you're right outside your comfort zone. Still safe, but outside your comfort zone.
Bear Grylls
The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra.
Bear Grylls
To get ready to climb Everest, I did a lot of hill running with a daypack on and a lot of underwater swimming. I would swim a couple of lengths underwater and then a couple above. It gets your body going with limited oxygen.
Bear Grylls
Some of the greatest survivors have been women. Look at the courage so many women have shown after surviving earthquakes in the rubble for days on end.
Bear Grylls
All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.
Bear Grylls
The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.
Bear Grylls
A friend once asked me what qualities were needed for SAS. I would say to be self-motivated and resilient to be calm, yet have the ability to smile when it is grim to be unflappable, be able to react fast and to have an ‘improvise, adapt and overcome’ mentality.
Bear Grylls
Above all, I feel a quiet pride that for the rest of my days I can look at myself in the mirror and know that once upon a time I was good enough. Good enough to call myself a member of the SAS. Some things don’t have a price tag.
Bear Grylls
I grew up on survival shows and they were always just so...anoraky.
Bear Grylls
Nothing inspires people more than reckless acts of courage.
Bear Grylls
The lesson is, the rewards in life don't always go to the biggest, or the bravest, or the smartest. The rewards go to the dogged and when your going though hell, to the person who just keeps going.
