How to Win the Race of Life [Learning from Zach Sobiech]


This video is long...twenty-two minutes is long by YouTube standards...but it quickly reminds you how short life can be.

Watch it with tissue.

Watch it with your own life, your own dreams, your own fears in mind and he will teach you how to win the race of life. I believe we are all here for a purpose and it can be an emotional thing to see someone achieve such a profound impact in such a short time.

May we all be as "lucky" in life as Zach Sobiech.

Rest in Peace - May 20, 2013

Coming Up for Air from Holiday Success

The holidays are my favorite. When I hear Andy Williams belt out "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," I know the holiday season has begun (as well as the 24/7 Christmas songs on the radio stations). I have been fortunate over the past few years to be able to slow down and enjoy the period of days when crisp autumn leaves fall victim to frosty mornings and the goodness seaps out of random strangers in one way or another. However this year, my slow down never really occurred. I worked right up to and after each holiday like wildfire. I sat back over my New Year's day off and thought about what had happened. How did I miss out on those quiet moments I love - like sitting in the dark and staring at the Christmas tree? And like most reflective moments - it hits you like a ton of bricks when you least expect it.

I'd been given a dose of success.
