When you watch someone like Usain Bolt you get that amazing feeling. Like something impossible can be done.

Watching him makes you realise that you can achieve such great things if you really put the effort in. That is what you have to do, put the effort in.

People may forget that he will eat, sleep and breath training all year just for those 10 seconds. But that is what he needs to do to succeed.

Hopefully Usain can inspire others to work hard to achieve their own peronal goals in life.

Alex, mate, you’re SO SO right! I met Her on Friday night. You know, HER! And I’m trying to decide whether to take a leap of faith and buy a plane ticket back to Australia for the two of us for a holiday next year, or if it’s TOO TOO SOON! Which is what MOST people would think and say…but you can call me a romantic, you can call me crazy, but i always knew that i would ‘just know it,’ when I met her. And I really feel it now. So, reading this post has really inspired me to really grab this opportunity, make the most of every chance I get, and GO FOR IT! I’m booking flights right now!

As Manrevo says above, “I feel really excited and giddy like a 12 year old girl!” Mate, i could not agree more…good choice of words!

As you say Alex, it is this divine act within me, that has given me the thought of booking this flight. And so, i must act on it. It may be a gamble, but it’s one I’m willing to take. And I’ll let you know how I get on…

Peace

Ahh man that’s so good to hear.

And I think that you’re so right about the difference between regular folks and those who make something of themselves. Spot on, sir!

Ah man, I know exactly what you mean. I live for moments like those when you have an epiphany and a great idea that might possibly take off. It gets me really excited and giddy like a 12 year old girl.

My problem used to be that when I DID come up with a killer idea, I’d just daydream about it and never get started on the work. It’s kind of like making a story. You already know how you’re gonna end it but you never bother thinking about the middle. And man, I still daydream about my blog time to time but unlike other projects, I finally started to roll up my sleeves and got to it.

I believe that everybody can succeed because we’re faced with opportunities daily. Like you said, when it comes you gotta seize it. That’s the difference between regular people and those that make something of themselves.
