Well today marks the 4 week countdown until the start of the 2008 Marathon des Sables race start across the Sahara Desert on Sunday 30th March. There are now only 16 days before I leave Australia on Tuesday 18th March and commence the journey towards the start line for what will be a life defining moment.
There is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that I carry with me every day that defines Success:
"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier, because you have lived, this is to have succeeded."
Something to think about ...
