Do you need some inspiration, do you need to get pumped for today, for the weekend?
"Powerful Beyond Measure" by Anders Carlson has got it. This video is jammed packed with some of the most inspirational speeches of all time. The film may be of paddling, but even if you don't paddle the message can be applied to all aspects of life. It is listening to the words that are uplifting.
If you like paddling or would to learn more about it this is great film to watch, but if you are just looking for the inspirational aspect of it, I suggest just listening to the audio. It will get you wanting to go that extra mile to shine, to better the world, it will make you feel like you were born to go out and do whatever it is that is driving you. What is that passion you are striving to seek?
"Powerful Beyond Measure" Paddle from Anders Carlson on Vimeo.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Last Friday, I wrote about our Catalina crossing and why I paddle. This video captures it, in a nutshell, this is why I paddle. But it also captures my ambition in life, to be a better person, to learn from myself and others, to go get what am worth, to shine. It won't look the same as the person next to me, but it will be my own, my journey to explore and I am thankful for it.
So how did our Catalina Crossing go?
We were the 7th women's boat across the line. We had a great race, the sun was out, the water felt good and we gave it our all. I am so proud of us this season. You look at our crew and we are one of the younger crews on the water. We have a head start, if we stick it out, stay together and work through it all, we can only get better. I have no doubt we will exceed our expectations again and again. We are going up against strong women and great crews. Here are a few photos from last weekend.
