In my previous article,Into The Great Wide Open, I talked about how I was going to chronicle my journey from an ordinary life to an extraordinary life. Not that I’m living a horrible life or anything remotely close to it. But if you are like me, you know there is more to life than “just getting by”. And you probably feel (as I do regarding myself) that you are capable of so much more. But for one reason or the other, you haven’t taken the necessary steps to take your life and yourself to the next level.
So what I will be doing now and in the future here at My Adventure Today is writing about my experiences- good and bad- as I work towards building the future and life I envision for myself and my family. As I mentioned already, I talked about the impetus for doing this in my previous article. Now I’m going to go over those areas of my life I want to make some changes in- some changes which you yourself might be wanting to make.
For the last week and a half, my wife and I have spent a lot of time watching the 2010 Winter Olympics currently going on in Vancouver, BC. While there have been some great competitions, one of the more enjoyable parts of watching has been the interviews and stories done on some of the medal winners and personalities of this year’s Olympics.
Two stories in particular were very inspiring and are great examples of how important belief is in being successful. One story was on Norwegian downhill skier Aksel Lund Svindal who 3 years ago had a horrific skiing accident during a downhill course at the Golden Eagle jump in Beaver Creek, Colorado. As a result, he was hospitalized for weeks recuperating from extensive facial, back, and neck injuries.
While some people after such an accident would call it a career or find it too difficult mentally to compete, he told the interviewer he believed in himself and his abilities and resumed training soon after being released from the hospital.
Last week, he beat out the US champion and favored-winner, Bode Miller, to win Gold for Norway.
