It may be the case that the long hours you work don't allow for much TV time (I can relate), but via my husband, I've become absorbed in a programme on UK TV channel Watch - Dynamo: Magician Impossible.
For those of you based in the UK, you may have also watched in awe while the Bradford-born magician enthralled stars such as Natalie Imbruglia, Trey Songs, Rio Ferdinand, Travis Barker and regular punters... as he disappeared under a solid glass wall, turned plastic butterflies into real ones, stopped his own pulse, inserted a coin into a block of ice (while in his hands), walked on water and more.
So how does he do it?! I must admit... I have NO idea. None. I've always been a sceptic where magic is concerned but this guy genuinely seems to have a gift.
... and while it may not be in as jaw-dropping a way... you do too.
Think about it. You're not [necessarily!] a master of illusion but you've had instances where you've managed to achieve something you may have once considered impossible. You know someone who surpassed every expectation... and created their own kind of magic by defying the odds to be successful. Before you moved onto your current challenge... you may have had doubts about your ability to complete the last one... but you did.
Dynamo is phenomenal. Certainly beyond my understanding... and while I know there must be some kind of inexplicable 'trick' / way of creating the illusion - it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the spectacle he creates.
We can embrace the impossible on TV but why not apply that same abandon to our own lives. Be certain. Be positive. Surprise yourself and others. Be dynamic... and remember... you don't need to have all the answers. Who knows... You may create your own magic. Thanks for being today's inspiration Dynamo!
For those of you who haven't seen him yet, see just a sample above...
