BEAR GRYLLSI have held healthy respects of bears along with assorted crocodiles, snakes and lots of other animals. You know, bears are dangerous, you have to be super careful.
BEAR GRYLLSI do see a lot of the hard end of ecology, and my feeling is that we live on a super-exciting planet but a super-fragile one.
BEAR GRYLLSWithout risk, there can be no growth.
BEAR GRYLLSI love making healthy lean foods delicious – that’s an art!
BEAR GRYLLSOur achievements are generally limited only by the beliefs we impose on ourselves.
BEAR GRYLLSThe special forces gave me the self-confidence to do some extraordinary things in my life. Climbing Everest then cemented my belief in myself.
BEAR GRYLLSAccidents on big mountains happen when people’s ambitions cloud their good judgment. Good climbing is about climbing with heart and with instinct, not ambition and pride.
BEAR GRYLLSWhy is it that the finish line always tends to appear just after the point at which we most want to give up? is it the universe’s way of reserving the best for those who can give the most? What I do know, from nature, is that the dawn only appears after the darkest hour.
BEAR GRYLLSPeople ask me, “How do I succeed?” Whatever it is they do, I say, “Go and find 20 ways of messing it up. By 21, you’ll be getting there.” Life is an adventure, go back with cuts, scars and bruises.
BEAR GRYLLSMy favorite moments? Where it’s all going swimmingly, the sun’s out and I’ve got a fire going and a nice snake on the barbecue.
BEAR GRYLLSThe truth is, I need 10 lifetimes to scratch the surface of the things I’d love to do.
BEAR GRYLLSYou can’t become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times. There’s life in a nutshell.
BEAR GRYLLSYou don’t need to go to the ends of the earth, you don’t need to climb Everest to have a great adventure, it’s invariably on our doorstep.
BEAR GRYLLSThere’s no magic to running far or climbing Everest. Endurance is mental strength. It’s all about heart.
BEAR GRYLLSTo me, adventure has always been to me the connections and bounds you create with people when you’re there. And you can have that anywhere.
BEAR GRYLLSChange the way you use your time, and you change your life.
