Steve Kamb of NerdFitness.com draws lessons from The Legend of Zelda that apply to fitness and personal growth.

Quotes to ponder:

"Momentum is a powerful thing. Enjoy each victory, celebrate your success, and use that momentum as a stepping stone for your next goal."

"In the Legend of Zelda, all levels exist for a reason: You need to get stronger and build momentum off the early levels to allow you to survive in the later ones."

"Everything is theoretically impossible until it is done."
