The film is a highly inspirational example of recognizing the opportunities we have, and moving past the negative things in order to more closely approximate our unique, individual potential. The companion film sets forth the challenge to: stop getting in our own way through negative thinking; start thinking bigger and bolder; get moving toward our dreams and goals.
Inspiration, encouragement, and motivation are powerful things. But not as powerful as having a game plan. Without a gameplan, it's all just cheerleading and cheering. Cheerleaders win cheerleading competition. Inspired, motivated players -- out there on the playing field-- are the big winners.
Part of Mark's mission is to share some of the things he has discovered and learned along the way which have helped him go so far beyond an "Oh, woe is me" attitude. Below are some topics and thoughts he shares, intended not as solutions or answers to our problems in and of themselves; rather, as "food for thought." Read them. Think about them. Then figure out how they might apply to you as an individual. Think seriously and critically and adjust them to make them your own.
