As human beings, we are more powerful than we can imagine. Our capacity to create beauty in art, enhance experiences through invention and extend life with technology is awe-inspiring. It seems we can do almost anything if we put our minds to it. I am inspired by the people who conceive ideas that benefit humanity and work passionately and tirelessly to bring them to life.

The extraordinary human beings who do great things aren’t special. We all share the same capacity to dream and the potential to take action if we choose. What makes these individuals different is that they act. In the face of adversity, uncertainty and failure, they push through. They ignore naysayers who tell them they should quit. They silence negative thoughts and self-doubt. And they get really comfortable being uncomfortable.

I am drawn by people who courageously follow their dreams. I have two partners who are like this. Heather absolutely loves to learn. We are currently working on things none of us have any experience in. This doesn’t stop her. She reads and researches for hours until she discovers how to do something. And when she does, she shares about it and teaches me how to do it. My other partner, Amy loves helping people reach their goals. She will work with members of our community for weeks or until they have a clear understanding on how to eat healthy or master form for an exercise. My partners are amazing!

To get to the point we are, we have adopted the mindset that to grow, we must embrace uncertainty and being uncomfortable. On the other side of it is connection, growth, happiness and contributions to others. So if you want to be truly happy, partner with people who love growing, care about everyone winning and are committed to being unstoppable.
