Don’t miss out on these awesome films about extreme adventures across the globe.

Everyday we are confronted with challenges and obstacles that limit our ability to continue and move forward. We can either give up or all soldier through with the belief that it can be accomplished. We all have our own mini Atlantic crossings that seem impossible but these film demonstrate what can be achieved if your mind is in tune with the end result. These are ordinary people, no different to the Jessica Watson’s or Susan Boyle’s of the world.

Make things happen, anything is possible.

What an inspirational person Jessica Watson is for her epic journey to circumnavigate the world.
It shows you what a strong belief in yourself can accomplish, a feat many people said wasn’t possible for someone so young or without the necessary ocean experience.

Well with lots of determination and a never give up attitude she successfully completed this amazing journey in 10 months covering a staggering 38,000kms. Against everything that mother nature can conjure up from 10meter seas, 60knot winds, strong currents, treacherous conditions and an early incident with a bulk carrier ship, Jessica’s strength shone through.

Think about the fatigue involved in being alert for 24 hours a days, every day for 210 days, the physical and mental exhaustion.

The biggest part was the psychological side as the isolation and loneliness at being out of sea without any personal contact for such a long period of time. The other big thing that stops most of us is fear of failure or doubting that we can succeed.

In her own words “I’m just an ordinary girl who believes in her dreams, believe in it and work hard”. She is absolutely awesome with such an amazing attitude and belief “proof what can be achieved if you set your mind, anything is possible” She went further by saying that it’s overcoming small challenges and moving in small steps.

It was only 12 months ago that Susan Boyle proved that if you truly believe anything is possible.

One thing that was great was that Jessica craved fresh fruit apart from the usual chocolate requests.

Everyone of us has our own unique journey or dream, for some it’s to be healthier, lose weight and live a better life. If you have the belief system, anything is possible.

I came across an inspirational person on 2 counts, firstly she had lost a massive amount of weight and secondly hiked up the face of Cradle Mountain in ballet type shoes.

Over a 12 month period this person through commitment and dedication went from a size 22 to size 16 in 12 months, a result of controlling her energy intake and walking regularly. An awesome achievement that demonstrates with the right mind set, anything is possible with the belief system in place.

The second part of the story is the not giving up and making do with what is available. The day before, this person went on a 6 hour hike and got blisters from her runners so not wanting to miss out on the walk to the summit of Cradle Mountain, she used her ballet style shoes to make the hike to the top. The section of track she climbed was marked “Extreme” meaning appropriate foot wear is recommended. With a top temperature of 15º and misty conditions, climbing over wet rocks is difficult at the best of times.

You can see from the photo the track follows the front of the face of the mountains in the background.

So it just goes to show that anything is truly possible is you really want to make it happen.

The duo Swell Season played in Melbourne this week, these inspirational people highlights how positive thinking can create great things if you truly believe.

Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova came from nowhere to star in a small budget film that went on to win grammy Award for the movie Once.

The most spectacular thing is that Spell Season are not back by a recored company, Tour Company, band Manager or the usual entourage that follows rock stars.
Rather there belief in their music and commitment to their craft has won universal support from their legion of fans around the world.

The Palais Theatre in St Kilda Melbourne was filled to capacity yet from the exterior of the building you would never even realise that they were playing, no posters or signage as the booking for the venue was done by themselves.

Like many things in life, you can achieve whatever you won’t, whether it’s weight loss or achieving a healthier lifestyle, its all about projecting positive thoughts and believing in yourself.

You can make whatever you wont to happen if you believe in yourself. A friend of mine being like myself likes to be in bed before midnight, mmmm, actually 10.30pm most nights so going out and seeing live music can be challenging. Most bands don’t start playing until 10-11pm so it ends up being a very late night.

So my friend Richard decides if I can’t get to see the bands, why can’t the bands come to me, or to my lounge room.

Well this is the sixth time bands have played in Richard’s lounge room and were talking about quality Australian music with Leah Flanagan and The Yealings playing over the weekend. A review from Tom Jellett from the Weekend Australian “The Yearlings’ previous albums have hinted at great things to come and Highway Dancing may just be it.

So thee were 2 ways at looking at what Richard did, firstly you can say who will play in my lounge room at all net alone for free or look at the situation positively and think that this is an opportunity for local bands to extend there audience.

Ultimately it’s all about projecting positive thoughts and energy, Richard know gets approached by not only local but international artists.

So think about this for all areas of your life, whether it is weight loss or being happier in your life, ultimately you can make it happen.
