And it was during that race that I realized quitting is not an option.

And it's a scary place.

It's a very scary place because you know that you're breaking down.

You know that you have so much ahead.

but it's also very empowering and very liberating because you know that the only way forward is forward.

And that's it.

And it was interesting because the fight, it no longer was a fight with the road, fight with my mind.

It was just fighting everything, the demons.

And the only way that I could go into that path was forward.

And it was beautiful to realize that when you take quitting out of the equation,

everything becomes very empowering.

It's a great question.

And just to put things in perspective, I always say motivation fades, but devotion stays.

The devotion, right?

Because it's not anymore about discipline, determination.

It goes beyond that.

Because that devotion, that it was for that mission, for your mind, for your body, whatever the devotion is towards,

That's what's going to stay.

And that's what I was keep on telling me.

It was no longer about a question of if I was going to finish or not.
