Bear Grylls Quote

There had always been this part of me that had never really believed that I could make it.Ever since that hospital bed and my broken back, a little part of me, deep down, had thought it was all sheer madness.And that part of me hadn’t always felt so little.I guess too many people had told me it was foolish.Too many had laughed and called it a pipe dream. And the more times I heard them say that, the more determined I had become.But still their words had seeped in.So we get busy, we do things. And the noise can drown out our doubts--for a while.But what happens when the noise stops?My doubts have an annoying habit of hanging around, long after I think they have been stilled.And deep down, I guess I doubted myself more than I could admit--even to myself. Until this moment.You see, ever since that hospital bed, I had wanted to be fixed. Physically. Emotionally.Heck. Ever since boarding school, age eight, all those years ago, I had wanted to be fixed.And right here, at 29,030 feet, as I staggered those last few steps, I was mending.The spiritual working through the physical.Mending.
