I’m such a softie Suddenly became aware of people looking at me this morning. They were concerned I was upset because I had tears in my eyes. Not so. I was watching the video below and was thinking – aaaaaaaah . . .

Amazing to think these 200 people only had 2 rehearsals!

A beautiful video that reminds us that life is a wonderful journey to be savoured.

I just loved this film. The photography is fantastic but the story is even more amazing. Philippe Petit decided he would walk on a high wire between the two towers after a seeing a picture of them during their construction. They weren’t even built but he just decided he would do the impossible. There are times in the film when he truly does believe it’s impossible but he is determined to finish his dream.

Interestingly, the story is also told of the other people involved in his dream and the effect it had on all of their relationships which makes the film even more fascinating.

Here’s the official trailer. I urge you to watch the whole thing as soon as you get the chance. It is an amazing testament to what is possible when you put your mind to it and to the power of engaging others in your dream.

I’ve committed to writing in this blog every week day but I’ve had a full on day today and can’t come up with anything very inspiring. So rather than force something I decided to post my favourite YouTube video of all time. If you haven’t seen it you’re in for a treat. I love it, love it, love it and I’m not alone. It’s been viewed 46,442,325 times.

This never fails to bring tears to my eyes and take me directly to a place of remembering what’s really important in life.
