Have you heard of the fantastic, the spectacular, Nik Wallenda?

If you haven’t, Nik Wallenda is one of the coolest people you could ever know about. He is a professional stunt man specializing in walking on tightropes across large areas and from dangerous heights. He graced Niagara Falls with his presence back in 2012, but this time I got a chance to meet him rather close by at D’Youville College in Buffalo, NY.

He went across a tightrope to welcome in their new center and it was an awesome event overall. Wallenda has taught us that no matter the height or depth below you, you can always get across. There will always be fear and there will always be uneasiness, but once you’ve gotten across through your adversity once, there’s no doubt that you can do it again, again, and again. Life can be full of endless possibilities, but believing in yourself is one of the most powerful things you can do.

When life gives you a really hard situation, take that and keep moving forward. There will always be another side and there will always be time for improvement along the way. The most important thing is that you keep going. Take a note from Nik Wallenda, today, and, not only live life to the fullest, but always strive to get through even the toughest of situations.

Congratulations to you, my dear reader, for getting through your toughest, roughest days to get to this point in your life. It’s only forward from here.
