    “I'm no longer afraid of this pain. Although it hurts and i'll be sore for days afterward, the accomplishment, perspective, and pride I'll derive will tranquilize it. My abrasions and my blisters will become my medals. It's the same reason mothers choose to become pregnant again. Some pain is worth it.”

    “The thought manifests the word;
    The word manifests the deed;
    The deed develops into habit;
    And habit hardens into character;
    So watch the thought and its ways with care,
    And let them spring forth from love
    Born out of compassion for all beings.
    As the shadow follows the body, as we think, so we become.”
    ― Dhammapada
