There are lucky breaks which are preceded by hours of preparation, strategy, visioning, meetings, lunches, dinners, coffees and chats. It takes years of networking and connections to bring a Legacy to life but it takes a minute to be inspired by your dream.
And a dream is all you need to rediscover your purpose. Each day I work with clients from across the world. I lead them forward and take them further than they thought possible. My role is to inspire and support them in bringing their internal genius to life.
And even the most successful people in the world have challenges. No one is immune to this school called life. In fact, there is never a one-size-fits-all approach to problem-solving, but when it comes to believing that anything is possible there is one absolute answer. No matter which way you perceive life, there is a universal desire for happiness and fulfillment. There is no accurate definition of success that doesn't include both of these.
I have friends that come to me all the time and tell me they don't know what they want to do with their lives. They think they should do what they perceive as "right" and "safe" rather than what they actually want to do. You fail in life when you have the wrong dream and no direction. So you may ask, what the hell is the solution then?
Is it to do anything you want? And yes, yes it is. The only way you are going to be happy in life is if you have some sort of purpose. That purpose stems from doing what you want. Purpose is tied to our dreams. That thing to which we devote our entire day needs to make us happy; it must fulfill us. This "thing" we are referring to is not something that someone can help you find. You eventually need to realize that you are a functioning adult and that you need to conduct some self-evaluation and stop being such a pussy.
We have to push through failure and jobs we hate in order to develop a better understanding of our purpose. You learn more from dating the 6's. Then eventually you will figure out what you love to do. Ask yourself, if money were not an object, if it were obsolete, and we lived in a utopia: what would you do everyday with your life to help time pass?

With respect to snowboard, the answer "anything is possible" immediately sounds sarcastic to me as a non-native speaker.
Am I being overly pessimistic? I could feel my legs starting to really slow down and, for the first time, I was in pain. However, the crowd at this stretch of the course infused some inspiration into me. Thousands of spectators cheered on the runners. I passed the km mark and made the turn onto Woodbine Avenue. A hundred meters later, a sharp pain shot up my right quadriceps and another shot down my left calve which forced me to stop.
All I could think about was the last seven months of training wasted, and the thought of limping back through Eastern Avenue past my friends was killing me. I never experienced cramping like this before, and I had no idea what to do, other than walk. One of the volunteers came by on her bike and said to keep moving and try and massage them out, which somewhat relieved me from pain and enabled me to start moving with a slow jog.
I looked down at my watch: 3 hours and 10 minutes had passed. When I first decided to run the marathon, I set my time goal pretty high. I wanted to run less than 4 hours through the race. For most of the race, I was pretty confident I was going to reach that goal, until that point.
I had less than 50 minutes to run 7km, and with my legs feeling the way they were, I was not too optimistic. As I approached the km sign, I could see Mary waiting for me. She's also a doctor and understood what I was going through and assured me I was going to be okay. We stopped at the next watering station, and I downed 4 cups of Gatorade to rehydrate.
We made the turn back onto Eastern Avenue, and I was starting to get my legs functioning again, as I approached Dorene and my friends.
For the next 3 km, Mary ran alongside me as my personal cheerleader, and it worked because I was getting my pace back and confidence at beating my 4-hour goal! With 1 km to go, Mary and I said our goodbyes.
It was time for me to finish, making my seven months of training worth it all. As I made my way up Bay Street, approaching Queen, I could see the finish line and with meters to go I looked down at my watch, it just passed October 22, , at pm. Completing my first Marathon! These goals would never have been accomplished without making conscious life redesign choices. For more posts about our life redesign, you can find them here.
What about you, have you got to the point that you believe you can do anything? We'd like to know. Troy is an ex-TV editor and producer originally from Canada.
