More quotes by Bear Grylls
Look, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you need a bit of luck.
Bear Grylls
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
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
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
I always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.
Bear Grylls
Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.
Bear Grylls
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.
Bear Grylls
As for my diet, I try to eat lean, clean and healthy - nothing too surprising. And I avoid too much meat or dairy because they slow you down.
Bear Grylls
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.
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
When you find yourself thinking about someone or something in the same old negative way, just stop yourself. Think. Check. Change. Refresh. Job done. Smile. Move on. Do this enough times and you will change. For the better for the stronger.
Bear Grylls
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
It's unresolved conflict in my life that I have a lovely family and a risky job.
Bear Grylls
You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times. There's life in a nutshell.
Bear Grylls
The line between life or death is determined by what we are willing to do.
Bear Grylls
Sometimes it's hard for us to believe, really believe, that God cares and wants good things for us and doesn't just want us to go off and give everything up and become missionaries in Burundi.
Bear Grylls
I hang out all the time with kids and young scouts and I never meet kids who don't want adventure.
Bear Grylls
My work is all about adventure and teamwork in some of the most inhospitable jungles, mountains and deserts on the planet. If you aren't able to look after yourself and each other, then people die.
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
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.
Bear Grylls
