Man on Wire!

Hey everyone... Happy New Year!


Just saw the new documentary film, "Man on Wire" that recounts the story of Philippe Petit, who completed the amazing high wire crossing between the Twin Towers in 1974.


What was facinating to me about his story was the unbelievable single-mindedness he had for reaching his goal.  Talk about laser focus.  This guy read a news story about the construction of the towers, and before they were even completed, he KNEW that he would one day be up there making that impossible crossing.


Setting aside the fact that what he did was highly illegal, it made me think about the possibilities of completing anything one sets their mind to.  If you are interested in an inspiring story that rolls in a bit of history, I encourage you to check it out.  I found it at my local library - just out on DVD.


And now, the QUESTION FOR YOU:


What unbelievable stretch goal do you have that you are willing to do whatever it takes to reach?  It doesn't have to be death-defying or illegal, but maybe it is 'seemingly impossible' in your mind or to the general public.  I'm not talking weight loss or financial goals, I'm talking AWE-INSPIRING!!!


And if you've seen the film, let me know your thoughts!  ( www.manonwiremovie.com )


Cheers!
