Think Big

Dream what you want to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
Because you have only one life and one chance to do all of the things that you want to do.
When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so that at the end of it you are the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying.

I have just had an e-mail from my daughter who is trekking some where in the Malaysian jungle. She is definitely making the most of this great opportunity we have all been given and I am really proud of her she is living life to the full. Last year I went to les Vegas and was sitting in a rotating restaurant 107 floors up above the ground and I just sat there and thought about the conversation the guy who came up with this idea must have had. It probably went something like this. " Hey Joe Ive just had this great idea I am going to build a restaurant 107 floors above the ground with the fastest elevator in the world to take people up to it and whats more I'm going to put some roller coasters on top of it!!!" Joes on the floor pissing himself at this point along with half a dozen by standers who over heard the conversation. But I sat in that restaurant and had one of the nicest meals I have ever tasted in my life. That's what I took from Vegas its a place that proves dreams can come true, the Grand Canyon, Hoover damn, out of this world casinos and hotels and its all in the middle of the desert and I was there, a kid from wood end top nobbing it in Viva Les Vegas.
Every thing starts with a thought and what I am constantly telling myself at the moment is to think big!

As usual I am snowed under at thew moment but loving it, I trained with my very good friend Justin Gray yesterday. He was there all the way through the animal days and is one of the nicest but toughest people I ever met, it was great to be back on the mat with him. On Saturday and Sunday we had master classes which went really well and are full of fantastic people. What an honour it is to be in the same room as these people I know that I learn so much from them and I am supposed to be the teacher!!

I am off to Dublin in the morning to meet up with another top guy Aidan Carrol with a view to teeming up with him and teaching in Ireland again fantastic people I love it!!

Take care until next time and remember it all starts with a thought so be careful what you think about.
Love Tony
