This reminds me of something Alex Honnold said in the fantastic documentary Free Solo:

“She [his girlfriend] sees things in a different way. For Sanni, the point of life is happiness. To be with people that make you feel fulfilled and have a good time.

For me it’s all about performance. The thing is anybody can be happy and cozy. Nothing good happens in the world by being happy and cozy. Nobody achieves anything great because they’re happy and cozy.”

I found his perspective so fascinating and revealing about people who are among the best in the world at something.
