As I type this, Ryan Shoemaker of Bowhuntquest.com, is a few miles deep into the backcountry of Colorado hunting majestic Elk. Alone!
To him, failure is not an option. It’s a motto he lives by and incorporates into everything he does. Very inspiring!
According to Ryan:
“Webster’s defines commitment as – the state of being obligated or emotionally impelled.
For me, the words emotionally impelled doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. Instead, the words I choose to define me are shoot, train, think, 365 days a year. Out of bed at 3:50a.m. to knock out 12 miles before work, I push to take to chance out of the equation. I refuse to let it define me. There are no breaks, no vacations, and certainly not an ounce of sympathy. It can never be a question of if I have what it takes, but only a question of when.
I’ve always been told that if you believe in something enough you can make it happen. So, I believe. I believe that I will never let my ability, determination, or drive become a stepping stone on the bridge to failure. Simply put, “quit” cannot and will not be part of my vocabulary. Failure Is Not an Option, is my only my option.”
