the man

The New York Times coming out with a killer article on the magic that is Kilian Jornet is
not the breakthrough of this guy, he has been creating waves for a while.
Collaborating with Salomon to create the Kilian's Quest series. And then there's his
mindblowing individual project entitled Summits of
My Life. Oh, and the fact that he's been running in the mountains
since a baby, basically and racing out of his mind on an international level.
Are you in love yet?
To know the backstory, running history, race
breakthroughs, how he trains, (and on and on and on) of Kilian could be a
full-time gig. (and if that is a real job out there I would like to have it)
For now, until I amp up my Kilian knowledge- it doesn't suck to hear what his
philosophy and "list of values" he has created for his Summits of my
Life project are ..

No one told us what we
were. No one told us we should go. No one told us that it would be easy.
Someone once said that we are our dreams. If we don’t dream we are no longer
alive.
We walk in the footsteps of
instinct leading us into the unknown.
We don’t look at the
obstacles we’ve overcome, but at those we’ve got ahead of us.
It’s not about being faster,
stronger or bigger. It’s about being ourselves.
We’re not runners, alpinists
or skiers...we’re not only sportspeople...we’re people.
We can’t be sure we’ll
find it, but we’re going in search of happiness.
With simplicity.
In silence.
Responsibly.
What are we after? Might it
be life?

Seriously, what are we after?
When I say we, I am trying to make this some rhetorical question to the
universe because in my head I am like - Whaaaaat am i after/ Whaaaaat am i
doing with my life? I am taking on Kilian as my life coach/guru, am I crazy to
think this is all applicable to basically everything; the fear of trying to
figure out what you are doing with your life, growing up, life changes, big
girl jobs, etc..
Not crazy, right? Never stop dreaming, keep
dreaming, and then dream bigger. It's all (yeah, I said it ALL) instinct, trust
your gut, screw the plan, screw knowing. Be you and own that (and then keep
getting faster, better, stronger). Don't assume happiness, don't expect it to
happen, live simply, live fully and responsibly and enjoy the search. Because
when it hits you, it's good. Good in a way you didn't know could be so good.
Good in a way that is so simple maybe you sometimes miss it. And then it hits
you again and you are like damn, there it is. Happiness. Jumping in the lake
after a long summer sports bra run, I am talking to you. Happiness.
