Get Inspired

I've just spent a weekend catching up with some old friends. The friend's themselves aren't that old, but I've known them a while and have seen far too little of them in recent years. One thing that I enjoy when running over several year's worth of news is hearing about all the amazing things people have done in that time. Oddly it seems to be the one things that Facebook is good for. People don't tend to post statements or photos of mundane days in the office or food shopping trips, but instead reserve their home page space for travel, seeing friends and amazing adventures. It is possible to imagine, therefore, that all of your friends (or at least Facebook friends) are living adrenaline fuelled, adventurous lives of continual travel, excitement and intrigue. Whilst our own lives seem dominated by the dull, uninteresting tedium of everyday life. So it's no wonder that, from time to time, it feels good to be inspired by those around you. For no other reason than that I thought I would share a couple of videos with you. This one brings out the feel good factor and this one will make you want to pack a bag and head off into the unknown. If that's not enough for you, watch Walter Mitty.
