The Top 10 people who have changed my life...
This weekend I had a bit of a wobbly I must admit. People everyday ask me "What are you going to do if this happens?" or "How on earth do you think you are going to be able to that?" and similar doubt inducing questions.
After a few weeks it can take its toll I can tell you. You start to intellectualise stuff and go through all the permutations of what could happen, thinking of all the obstacles in your path. And yes it does play tricks with your head.
But after watching a documentary on Peace Pilgrim on Sunday night followed by some lovely words from a friend, I felt all my fears and doubts evaporate almost instantly. It was then I realised it didn't matter how much training, physical or mental, I was getting in, or how many potential obstacles there are in my way. I realised that all I need to sustain me on my journey is positivity and inspiration.
So I decided that from now until I go I would write a piece, every day, about those who have inspired me to go on the path I have now chosen. Not only will it highight to all of you some characters from history that you may or not be aware of, but as I write each one it will also serve to remind me why I am doing this and give me the inspiration to remain strong in these last few weeks.
Inspiration is like oxygen - we can't live without. So over my last two weeks I aim to share with you some of the stuff that inspired me, and in the process rekindle a lot of positive emotions within myself.
I will start tomorrow with the Man who changed the course of my life...not too difficult to guess I suppose if you take a look at our Inspiration page!
