We often talk about all that is possible, that we are better than we think we are, that we can accomplish more than we think we can. Maybe one way to make sure that we do act on our own rhetoric is to take a quick look at how much change has really happened around us – we can even look to our own lives to show what is possible. And if it is indeed possible – to do what ever we want – then we owe it to ourselves to go for it. OK, here goes – in the past 15 years, start in year 2000 till today – let’s do a quick compare:

· In 2000, 30 percent of people living in developing countries lived in extreme poverty – today it is 15 percent

· Facebook did not exist – today there are 1.5 billion users

· Amazon revenue in Y2000,$2.8B, today $89B

· No Uber, no AirBnB in 2000

· 12 % of the population owned a mobile phone – today 60%

· Joey G – worked out two days a week and had not run a marathon, an ironman, an ultra, nothing of the sort – today workout every day and quite a few races accomplished

The list can go on and on – and we can each add to it the profound changes that we have been involved in or witnessed. As we come to the close of 2015 and think about what is in store for us in 2016 let us get charged up by what is possible and build our plan on thinking that all we have to do is to start and from there great results will come….if given just a little bit of time, yes indeed

Loving life, knowing that anything is possible
