You never know where a spurt of motivation can hit you. And when it does, you have a choice. You can either let it guide you to make a change or you can let it temporary spark your creative juices and then let it pass as if you are walking in the mall looking at the store windows at christmas time.
So I give you Erik Weihenmayer. So here is his list of titles.

THE ONLY BLIND PERSON TO REACH THE SUMMIT OF MOUNT EVEREST
MAY 25, 2001
So, here is my back story. I was walking through the Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado and as I was on the escalator to the baggage claim I look up to actually look at the ceilings and I see this massive billboard. It says if I can climb Mt. Everest blind, then you should have no excuses.
I was floored. That was exactly the right sentence I needed to read, to get my mind back wrapped around my 2015 business plan.
So here is a little about Mr. Erik.
He went blind from juvenile retinoschisis. He fought against traditional methods of using canes and learning the braille method because he wanted his independence. In high school he was a wrestling championship. He attended Boston College where he graduated with a double major in English and Communications. (some of us can barely get through college with one major)
In 2008 he added Carstenz Pyramid in West Papua New Guinea.
He ascended Losar, a 2700 ft vertical ice face in the Himalayas in 2 days and 3 hours.
In 2014 he solo kayaked the Grand Canyon 277 miles with two other people.
HOW many obstacles do you face and crumble right at the seams? HOW many times have you given up before you have even started? How many NO's have you heard and then just gave up?
You have to have more will power and stamina to endure this race, or else your dreams and your vision will never come into fruition. It's time to LAUNCH!!
