Sam Mikulak on happiness

I blamed gymnastics for so much of my unhappiness.

It wasn’t gymnastics that I was unhappy with, it was myself.

Now I’m thankful for gymnastics and all my struggles because the resiliency I’ve gained is greater than any accomplishment or medal. It’s helped me love myself again.

I’m finally understanding the idea that it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.
