Advance confidently in the direction of your dreams and you will meet with a success unexpected.
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.
In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”

Anyway, this is an exciting time for just about everyone… it’s the 2010 Winter Olympics! It is an especially exciting time for Canadians for 2 obvious reasons:
This years Olympics are on Canadian soil: Vancouver, British Columbia (See the map if you are new to Canadian geography)
I love how willing each of these athletes are to share with the world what is happening in the Olympic games.. the inside view is something that we haven’t been able to see in previous games, and it gives a new perspective on what the Olympics are all about. Best of luck in the competition!
This is perhaps the greatest commercial ever made… Originally an ad for Molson Canadian, it has become a national icon and declaration of all that is good Canadian.

Hey, I’m not a lumberjack or a fur trader.
I don’t live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dog sled.
And, I don;t know Jimmy, Sally or Suzie from Canada, although I’m sure they’re real nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a President.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it ‘about,’ not ‘a-boot.’
I can proudly sew my nation’s flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing. Diversity not assimilation.
And, the beaver is a truly noble animal!
And Z is pronounced Zed, not Z. Zed!
Canada is the second largest land mass, the first nation of hockey, and the best part of North America!

Are you ready to take on the challenge of the Bear Butte Running Camp? Watch the video above, check out the camp’s philosophy below, then decide what whether you are ready to strip down and work your buns off to be the best. Camp Philosophy: “At Bear Butte Running Camp, we take a less-is-more approach to training. We strip away the boundaries and comforts of modern society in order to embrace the inherent benefits of natural running, and use those benefits to become faster, stronger, better athletes. Camp attendees will receive group and individual instruction in all facets of distance training and racing, with emphasis on gradually improving performance through motivation, hard work and natural motion. To enhance personal and athletic growth, campers must be willing to shed, at least while at Bear Butte, urban conveniences not found in the great outdoors (i.e., cellphones, television, mp3 players, shorts).”
