Unthinkable
Earlier this week, I finished up "UnThinkable" The Scott Rigsby Story on audio book. The book tells the story of the first double amputee on prosthesis to finish an Ironman. Not any Ironman, but the World Championship in Kona.
This is a story about faith and willpower and will leave you inspired. You don't have to be a triathlete or even an athlete to be uplifted and encouraged by this.
Two thumbs up!!!
Scott Rigsby has founded the Scott Rigsby Foundation with the objection to inform and enable physically challenged people to lead and active lifestyle.
If you don't feel inspired now to set out and do something you never thought you could... Well, I don't know.
So long! ;-)

Midweek Inspiration: Motivational Quotes
Because sometime, we just need a little quote to set us straight and get the head back into the game.
This is a random assortment of quotes that I have seen over the last couple of days/weeks in random places like people's blog titles and signature lines etc.
“Don’t be concerned with what you can’t do. Work on what you can do – then count your blessings.”
Alan Robinson, 56-year-old partially paralyzed marathon runner.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."
Aristotle
"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy."
Arthur Ashe
"It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get back up."
Vince Lombardi
"There are only two options regarding commitment; you're either in or you're out. There's no such thing as life in-between.
Pat Riley
"Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
John Wooden
"Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... But I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there."
Venus Williams
With this, I'll send you on your way to conquer the second half of the week.
So long! ;-)
