As we plan our summer getaways, many of us look for that thrill and adventure to do with family and friends. (After all, we need the photos for our annual Christmas cards!) And why are we drawn to adventure? It’s exciting, exhilarating, fun and gives a sense of accomplishment. Whether a vacation adventure or living day-to-day, we encounter obstacles, challenges, mountains and cliffs to conquer. They exist precisely to be overcome.  For some of us it’s Black Diamond ski runs, road biking, rock climbing and whitewater rafting!  For others, it’s beach volleyball, surfing, sailing and soaking up the rays.  Moliere may seem rather dated to be quoting but the guy knew a thing or two about music and life! You have to grab on, hang on, climb on, ski on, rock on, roll on, play on, design on, heal on, write on or market on…whatever you do to move through life. Believe in yourself, your awesome ability and the power of your potential.  Life is a challenge–sometimes exhilarating, often frustrating. For me, the steeper the mountain, whether on skis or in day-to-day life, the greater my glory.  And much better shared with friends, family and those I meet along the way. This summer, let’s take on and overcome whatever obstacle, challenge or adventure we encounter–by choice or happenstance, fun or not–to actualize our potential, empower ourselves and those around us and be our absolute best. Because…ability matters!
