Motivational quotes 2022-05-05
===================================================================

Sometimes you need a bit of motivation. I don't always want to go
outside and ride, even knowing that after 20 - 30 minutes I usually
can't fathom why I didn't go out earlier. When I need a pick-me-up,
I tend to watch motivational videos by Jocko Willink and David
Goggins telling me to get my shit together and get after it. It
works.
