Most people will never step foot in Antarctica. Even fewer will ski across it. Almost no one will spend longer alone on that continent than Aaron Linsdau. For 82 days, it was just one man, two sleds, and the endless white stretching toward the South Pole

In this Spark episode of Why’d You Think You Could Do That?, host Sam Penny draws from Aaron’s powerful mantra:

“As long as you keep chipping away at it, you always have a chance. Quitting simply isn’t an option.”

What You’ll Hear in This Spark

  • How to capture the thing you truly want.
  • The importance of writing it down and declaring it out loud.
  • Why the first step is where impossible dreams begin.

Key Takeaway

Aaron didn’t reach the South Pole in one giant leap. He got there step by step, ski by ski, refusing to give in. And you don’t need Antarctica to prove it—you just need to take the first step and remember that quitting isn’t an option.

Power Move

Write it down:

  • I want to…
  • I am going to…

Then say it out loud. Because when you give words to your spark, you give it weight.
