Throughout my journey I have come across some pretty inspirational people, quotes, articles and videos on Twitter.
I thought it would be a good idea to share these things, in the hope that they will inspire you as much as they did me!
I’ll start with the most inspirational parable I have ever come across.
If you have never heard this before then consider it my gift to you for visiting my site.
The first time I saw it I had an epiphany, the message in the video becoming the mantra by which I now try to live my life
In a similar vein, life is short, so its important to take some time out to follow your dreams, like training for an Ironman, for example…
