Appreciate-People who run for things

I was watching a live football game yesterday in Doha, and out of no where was this man running around the field high fiving the players!!! It was very amusing and I'm sure he's living with the consequences now, and no one would dare do what he did. I give him props though. He went for the moment, and he literarily ran for it. If you're excited about something, it's nice to jump in on it, and live it, rather than giving in to limiting yourself. It's nice to watch other people go for it too! It's why we like celebrities sometimes. It reminds you that anyone can do anything. It doesn't mean you should risk your life! but just stop thinking too much!

A recent colleague, and an inspiring leader passed away, Grahame Maher, CEO of Vodafone Qatar. If you see the videos and pictures that people have posted of him, you feel very inspired to live , and not waste a moment thinking and waiting. He lived every moment, and used his full potential. I don't think he ever wasted a day thinking: What if.

Appreciate:
1- watching someone getting excited about doing something they like. Watching someone ignite the light of their passion - Not in a dirty way!!- (see video below)
2- Memorable moments that people create when they do something different.
3- People remember people by the way they lived, and you want to be remembered by doing the things you love.





Shukran, appreciated,
