Anything is possible:

What remarkable creatures we are. I love that people send me the most inspiring things. This week I've seen videos of a one legged tango dancer that made me feel like the reason I couldn't dance was that I had too many legs! I saw a TED video of a man who was an amazing Graffiti artist who was stricken with a disease and now, with the help of incredibly simple but powerful technology, paints with his eyes. The technology to paint with your eyes or the ability to be a brilliant dancer with one leg is so inspiring.  These things are in the same category as the awe we feel when we look up at the stars and wonder what's out there?
We are inspired by people, who instead of asking "why me"? ask why not me?
We are inspired by those people because, in the length of time it takes most of us to complain about the problem we're having, those people are half way to finding a solution. We have the same 24 hours in a day as they have. How are you spending yours?
I'll leave you this week with the two questions that the person who instigated the invention of the motion sensing glasses asks himself.
If not me, who?
If not now, when?
C ya next week.
