Photo below is from Rib Mountain in Wausau Wisconsin. I’ve never visited Machu Picchu…maybe some day. 🤷♀️
a Japanese man
age 26
led himself
around the world
he had a dream
arrived in Peru
was turned away at the gate
thwarted by a virus
he refused to give the upper hand
seven months he waited
persistent
creative
resourceful
rented apartment
practiced yoga
taught boxing to local kids
studied fitness and sports nutrition
believed his time would come
he led himself first
and now he leads me
A leader’s job is to manage meaning and maximize connection—to guide a group through fear. Our only real safety lies in agreeing to live with our differences.
~paraphrased wisdom of Bruce Peters…thank you
I'm 0 for 2 on the mountains, but all the rest is familiar landscape. Thanks, as always, for presenting positive examples to challenge my mundane plodding.
Nice!! Somehow I remember the movie "The Terminal" with this story!!
