Our fate is determined by how far we are prepared to push ourselves to stay alive - the decisions we make to survive. We must do whatever it takes to endure and make it through alive.

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

I always had a really natural faith as a kid. Where I knew God existed and it felt very free and pretty wild and natural, and it wasn't religious.

There's no magic to running far or climbing Everest. Endurance is mental strength. It's all about heart.

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
Image
I don't like expeditions where it is a total lottery whether you live or die. You have to keep those sort of good luck cards for rare occasions!
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.

You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster.
Bear Grylls
Image
Accidents on big mountains happen when people's ambitions cloud their good judgment. Good climbing is about climbing with heart and with instinct, not ambition and pride.

Image
You're not human if you don't feel fear. But I've learnt to treat fear as an emotion that sharpens me. It's there to give me that edge for what I have to do.

And if you give your heart to a goal, it will repay you. It's the law of the universe.

I'm probably going to be the scruffiest Chief Scout you've ever had and my health and safety policy is non-existent.
