• Llega un momento en que el dolor de continuar supera al dolor de detenerse. En ese momento, se cruza un umbral. Lo que parecía impensable se convierte en pensable. Poco a poco, te das cuenta de que la elección de continuar con lo que has estado haciendo es la elección de vivir en la incomodidad, y la elección de dejar de hacer lo que has estado haciendo es la elección de volver a respirar profunda y libremente. Una vez que te das cuenta, puedes honrarla o ignorarla, pero no puedes olvidarla. Lo conocido no puede volver a ser desconocido.

• Spending $1 for a brand new house would feel very, very good. Spending $1,000 for a ham sandwich would feel very, very bad. Spending $19,000 for a small family car would feel, well, more or less right. But as with physical pain, fiscal pain can depend on the individual, and everyone has a different threshold.

• I had to learn to be honest with myself. I had to recognize my pain threshold. When I hit the floor, I have to realize it's not as if I broke a bone. Pushing yourself over the barrier is a habit.
