You start out life with nothing, and you end it the same way. But
between the start and the finish, you can have an awesome adventure.
If you are going to live, you may as well live as if you are a great
person. That means, you live as if your dreams are possible and
work each day to make them happen. You travel far, travel light,
and make your life into what you want it to be. You never forget
that life isn't about stuff; instead, it's about living your dreams.
As you face problems each day, ask yourself, "How would I handle
this challenge if I was a great person?" After you answer that
question, go ahead and do what a great person would do.
Don't tiptoe through life trying to just get by. Instead, make your
life into something memorable, something great.
You only get one life, and you may as well make it into a great
one. You have little to lose and much to gain, so go ahead and live
as if you are great.
This photo shows me living my sand dreams on a
nine day off-road trip in the Rhub al-Khali. My fully-loaded
Defender is sliding down a slip face in the Southern Empty Quarter
of Arabia. These sandy corridors can be hundreds of kilometers long
and you can spend weeks driving in a sea of sand.
TRUE GREATNESS
If you want to live as if you are a great person, you must first
decide what greatness means to you.
The path to greatness is littered with the corpses of the famous,
the wealthy, and the powerful.
Fame, money, and power have nothing to do with greatness. They
are simply stumbling blocks, imposters, that try to trip you
up on your journey to being great.
Greatness happens to those who live their dreams with single-minded
purpose. Courage and integrity form the cornerstones of their
lives. When they face temptations, they are unmovable, and
when they face challenges, they are unstoppable. They stick
with you through thick and thin, and no matter what happens, they
keep the faith.
Great people live as if their dreams are possible and work
each day to make them happen. They know who they are, and they
know where they are going. They are Unstoppable, Consistently
Positive, Endlessly Persistent, Doers of Dreams.
