“And the goal in life is to be in harmony with yourself and find your route. We’re not here to force other people to follow our route. I found my route, you found your route and everybody finds his or her own route. Then you can become yourself, not somebody else. So in parkour, really the main thing is to concentrate, to figure out what you want to do in life, where you want to go in life, to give yourself all the tools to get there, to not listen to people, unless it’s when people have positive comments and are commenting to help you move ahead. Don’t listen to the rest. And you advance.”
-David Belle, founder of parkour.
