Climbing mountains and looking to 2016

Let's start with my favourite quote at the moment. Pertains to the team that I am coaching now. It's been a huge privilege to share my love for canoeing (as well as the whole underdog struggling thing), and this is trying to spark off some of that magic in them too:

"You don’t climb mountains without a team, you don’t climb mountains without being fit, you don’t climb mountains without being prepared and you don’t climb mountains without balancing the risks and rewards. And you never climb a mountain on accident — it has to be intentional.” Mark Udall

“If you knew you could climb a mountain, you probably wouldn’t do it,” he said. “It’s the uncertainty, the challenge and the willingness to put it all on the line that draws a lot of people to climb mountains. That can also apply to a lot of other challenges in life, whether it’s running for office, starting a family, going to grad school or taking all of your cash and assets and starting a business. You don’t know if you’re going to be successful, but you want to see what you’re capable of.”

Already more than a quarter-century old! Am very lucky to be doing what I consider purposeful "work". But then again, it's not work (:

There are many things I want to do, and accomplish, in 2016. The new year always brings opportunities. Now to see me put everything together and make it work (:

good bye 2015

Few more days till the end of 2015. Been a rough year but it has made me much clearer on everything. Going to revive this (: Figured that is one way to keep it grounded amidst the fun and exciting year ahead!
