Mud,Sweat and Tears

I"m reading Bear Grylls autobiography, "Mud,Sweat and Tears. It's a very honest account of a former UK Special Forces paratrooper turned TV star. His TV series Man vrs Wild is watched by 1.2 billion viewers in more than 180 countries. It may be cliche but I thought I could learn a thing or two from his success. I'm only 3/4 of the way through the book but I read a quote I wanted to share. "Life has taught me to be very cautious of a man(or women) with a dream, especially a man who has teetered on the edge of life. It gives fire and recklessness inside that is hard to quantify.It can also make them fun to be around." I love this statement because it's been proven true to me over and over again in my own life. When I first started to work on my Restless Josie webisodes I was desperately searching for something. If I hadn't been so unhappy in my life, I wouldn't have fought so hard to develop a career I could be proud of. If life really knocks you down, what are you going to do? Fight back and just lay there and take it? I think this is what separates us. Are you a whiner and a bitcher or a happy warrior? We all have that choice:)
