Do you have what it takes?When you wake up in the morning, do you face the world or do you just merely exist in it.

Sometimes its hard to find the courage to face another day, another problem, another challenge.

But when you LIVE in the moment, and you rise up to face your challenge, that what makes everyday worth LIVING. Thats when you start to be a part of your existance. Thats a big thing to realise, and its even a bigger thing to start practising. When I feel I need help to live my life as opposing to just existing in life, I always turn to someone who inspires me, someone who is to me a hero. So here I find myself reading about Mr Ali. Adidas have brought out a great campaign and maybe some of you dont know about it. Please click on the link below and check it out for yourselves
http://www.adidas.com/campaigns/impossibleisnothing/content/home.asp?regionID=21&

Go to the challenge and meet the finalists. Adidas are holding a WORLDWIDE competition to find out who really are living in their world, people who are faced with real challenges and hardships and who look life straight in the eye and proudly declare "impossible is nothing". There are some amazing stories of young people who tell their story and currently a lovely young girl from Brisbane Australia is in the lead. But dont take my word for it. Go and visit, look and feel and be inspired to start living in the moment. And while your on the site, check out the long run on the TV campaigns, you will see Ali running with a multitude of athletes including our own Ian Thorpe. Which brings me to an event that the whole world has waited 4 long years for. To all athletes thankyou for being a part of the OLYMPIC GAMES in Athens. May your courage, strength and passion shine through to inspire us all.

"Some people listen to themselves rather than listen to what others say. These people dont come along very often, but when they do, they remind us that once you set out on a path, even though critics may doubt you, its ok to believe that there is no cant, wont or impossible. They remind us that its ok to believe...... impossible is nothing". Adidas international.
