Thought of the Day
« on: November 17, 2009, 09:38:21 PM »
Inspiration is important to me in training and I love finding sources unrelated to Parkour and applying them to it to try to look at it from a new point of view.

Today I found this quotation I thought I'd share:

If there are obstacles, the shortest line between two points may be the crooked path. - Bertolt Brecht

Apologies if it's been posted before. Please discuss! Or post your own sideways perspectives.

“I think we need to open our mind to our surroundings.  I find it impossible to have a town in the United States, or the world- that has nothing to train with.” -by Jordan Strybos

The quote from my signature. It motivates me every day :D
In memory of Andrew. Rest in peace, fellow traceur.
