Need Inspiration?

There are countless inspirational people in the world, but at the moment two in particular have caught (and held) my attention. Abby Wambach is the well-spoken, confident, powerful goal-scorer and emotional team leader for the U.S. Womens National Soccer team. Unwaveringly humble, she'd be the first to remind us that there's no "I" in team. Have a look, as she prepares for the 2012 Olympics with a huge chip on her shoulder following last year's devastating World Cup final loss to Japan. Diana Nyad is, quite simply, one of the most driven, charismatic people I have ever seen. Whether she's describing her latest effort to fulfill her 30 year old dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida, or providing insight into her mindset when it comes to preparing for the next attempt, Diana (at 62 years old) is living proof that no dream is too big. My, how people amaze...
