I learnt another valuable lesson that night: listen to the quiet voice inside. Intuition is the noise of the mind.
Bear Grylls
Image
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.

My best life lessons and education didn't come from a classroom - they've come from the wild. How you act in the big moments, the ones that challenge you, scare you, tempt you, and force you to make the right decisions, is what defines you.

Weather can kill you so fast. The first priority of survival is getting protection from the extreme weather.
Bear Grylls
Image
What I've learned over the years is that the path less traveled always makes for a more interesting journey. If you simply do what everyone else is doing, how can you ever expect to excel and create something wonderful and unique in your life?
Bear Grylls
Image
Life has taught me to be very cautious of a man with a dream, especially a man who has teetered on the edge of life. It gives a fire and recklessness inside that is hard to quantify.
Bear Grylls
Image
Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.
Bear Grylls
Image
I grew up on survival shows and they were always just so...anoraky.
Bear Grylls
Image
You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster.

Image
I train five days a week hard - but it is short and sharp - 30 to 40 minutes of functional and pretty dynamic body-strength circuits, then I do a good yoga session on the sixth day, then I rest.
Bear Grylls
Image
Look, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you need a bit of luck.
Bear Grylls
Image
I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

A wise man knows learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.

Always keep the big picture in mind- you are greatly loved by Jesus and your job is to love Him and others in return. The rest is detail.
