A Different Outlook

Some guys in my office today heard that Harrison Ford did many of his own stunts for the upcoming Indiana Jones movie. Their reaction? They simply didn't believe it. My reaction? I thought it was completely possible and even inspiring.

Here's why I think the reactions were so different. The guys who were talking about it are in lousy shape. They eat junk and look like they never exercise. So to them, it does seem impossible for a 65 year old to do his own stunts.

I, meanwhile, know that I'll be active at 65, so sure, I'd be able to do stunts at that age.

I see what's possible because I challenge myself. They don't.
