jungle jeff, risk taker, on The Ledge.
Friday evening, I walked to the Willis Tower (formerly The Sears Tower). The 1.5 miles took about an hour, with the numerous photo stops.
Going there was a mission. A mission to stretch myself.
Spent two full days in Chicago, exiting, motivating and inspiring a great organization to reach even greater heights. To go out on the ledge, so to speak and challenge themselves to do something they think can’t be done – destroy the status quo.
I felt an absolute calling to go to the ledge. The ledge is a very scary place to be.
How can professional speakers – motivational speakers – inspire others to do impossible things if they themselves aren’t motivated and aren’t capable of doing impossible things?
Walt Disney never asked his associates to do anything he thought was impossible. Walt always thought things were possible, even if everyone around him didn’t.
Same with me. I’ll never ask my son, wife, or anyone else in our family to do anything impossible.
But maybe I should. Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
