I’ve been warned that posting anything requiring more than sixty seconds of people’s attention is something of a risk in blogosphere. Oh well.
Most of you will know that I don’t post many videos but I watched this clip this morning and for a range of not-very-sophisticated reasons, it really resonated with me. CT Fletcher (the guy in the video) has a great story and while I certainly wouldn’t recommend all of his methods (you’ll know what I mean when you watch it), I loved listening to his story and his philosophy. I’m not posting this as any kind of educational or (necessarily) motivational piece but rather as something that some of you will find interesting. Fascinating, maybe. If you’re easily offended by swearing and/or not interested in training, you might want to give it a miss. Let me know your thoughts.

he looks like a bad ass!
Awesomely inspirational, Craig! Like always!
So, who warned you about posting things that are over 60 seconds long? They are purely marketers, no doubt. And I guess not interested in the real human condition.
On the video … it’s an example of the diversity of life (and the human condition.) But, the underlying message is what you’re sharing, isn’t it? Accomplishment takes dedication. But, even below (or above?) that is the sentiment he exposed when he said “#@%%#, I’m going to do what I love no matter what.)
Isn’t that the strongest message? Beyond the dedication? If it takes self-discipline and force to do something, do you really love it? And doesn’t love provide more lasting effort than discipline?
I’m just asking….
I loved this video — very inspirational!

Commitment and passion. Good lord he is massive. Poor kid though. That awful Dad – and he is religious – yeah right.
Many, many amazing achievements, but the one that touched me the most was when his son said “My dad’s my hero”.
