Last night, I had the pleasure of going to a presentation by Frank McKinney, a former tennis pro turned builder and author and his good friend and mentor, Marshall Ulrich. Both, in their 50's, have competed in the "Badwater", Death Valley 135 mile, at 125 degrees temperature race. Frank did his 6th time (only 30 people in the world have done it this much) and Marshall did his 17th! After running cross country from San Francisco to New York City in 52 days, Marshall is now training for a 700 mile circumventing run around Death Valley. They gave a motivating seminar of determining your dreams of extreme life adventures, and against whatever "odds" exist, with "small steps", work toward accomplishing them.
I returned home to the news of Apple's founder's Steve Job's passing. He had an amazingly full life from humble beginings in his 56 years. He spoke of undeterred by the opinions and negavtive reactions of others, to have the courage to follow your heart and vision to lead the life of your dreams!
