Monday Motivation - October 21st

Good morning wonderful people,

There's a little challenge at the bottom of this email...

It's rare that a day goes by without some degree of seemingly crazy going on. It could be the most recent Trump tweet, a new climate change revelation or the looming spectre of Brexit - whatever it is, you'd be forgiven for feeling a little despondent sometimes.

But then something amazing happens. Something truly exceptional. Something that redefines what we think is possible. A special something that reminds us it's OK to have a dream and to have the courage to make it a reality.

Last week Eliud Kipchoge, a Kenyan athlete, ran a marathon in under two hours in Vienna. UNDER TWO HOURS. This is something most "experts" had thought was impossible until a couple of years ago, when he went close in Monza, Italy, just missing the mark by 25 seconds. His performance is now part of history.

Like Roger Bannister did in 1954 (being the first to run a sub 4-minute mile), Eliud has now redefined what is possible and that NoHumanIsLimited. While most of us are happy if we get the kids fed and off to bed and it's a bonus if we make it to the gym or yoga class, it's nice to know that we live in a world where dreams are chased and can come true.

What an amazing time to be alive.

And so, here's a challenge...

I came across this wonderful post a while back and immediately fell in love with it. It's called "50 ways to be ridiculously generous - and feel ridiculously good." It delivers. Enjoy and please share what you get up to - or tell us some of the little things you like to do to spread generosity!

Stay special,

LukeX
