A quote from a book Robyn Davidson wrote called "Tracks", about her Solo trip across the Australian Outback.

"So I had made a decision which carried with it things that I could not articulate at the time. I had made the choice instinctively, and only later had given it meaning. The trip had never been billed in my mind as an adventure in the sense of something to be proved. And it struck me then that the most difficult thing had been the decision to act, the rest had been merely tenacity -- and the fears were paper tigers. One really could do anything one had decided to do whether it were changing a job, moving to a new place, divorcing a husband or whatever; one really could act to change and control one's life and the procedure, the process, was its own reward."
