A spark of hope...

I have nothing to do today so I decided to watch some YouTube videos while waiting for my wife to be online. First it was just random videos and then, I came across of this one video. The video was titled," 5'6" White Guy Dunks After 2 Years of Training" and it was a motivational video. For me it was an ordinary thing coz I am 5'8", I am Asian and I can dunk 2 handed easy, well that was about 20 years ago, when I am still playing volleyball. But as I have said I have nothing to do so I watched. Then at the end of the video, I saw this...
Anything is possible
Never quit
Be better than yesterday
Ignore “you can’t’
If you want it
Work for it
You will achieve it…
...anything
I was touched. It was an inspiration coming from a whole different angle. A perspective that hit me blind sided. It not about jumping high and dunking the ball. It was about the passion, the shear determination to achieve the one thing you want the most.
What drives you? What motivates you to be the best like that guy?
Thank You For Watching I would like to thank all my friends and family for the support through the 2 years...I'm sure many of you thought I'd never get here ...

That is very inspirational.
What drives me Neil is myself alone, something inside of me saying go on, walk on, even when there are many obstacles.
Spirit I guess I would call it.

I go on a day by day goal. But that´s fine for me because in that way I beat (or almost) cancer.

That was beautiful and thank you for sharing! I do believe too that whatever it is, we can achieve it, as long as we work hard for it and pray to God. Nothing is impossible.

This is an inspiring video. I also seen a 5' 2" dunker. The most important thing here is the motivation.
Wow, 5'8! You must be a good spiker!
