If you focus on the process of climbing, you’ll end up on the summit – Yvon Chouinard

Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. … To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountains which sustain life, not the top.

It’s not whether you when or lose, it’s how you play the game. The same is true about climbing a moutain. If you get to the top, but you had to sell your soul, then what’s the point.

“Always make a total effort, even when the odds are against you.” ~Arnold Palmer

Giving it your all is hard enough, but when the odds are stacked against you it becomes very tempting to just pack it up and go home. But if the odds aren’t in your favor you have to give it as much effort as you possibly can if you hope to come out on top.

always make a total effort, even when the odds are against you

Only you know if you’re giving your full effort, so this becomes a battle with yourself more than anything else. Learning to get the most out of yourself is a trick that the most successful achievers have mastered.
