Flying with Diana Nyad

In case you missed it, 62 year old Diana Nyad began the 103 mile swim from Cuba to Florida last Friday. This was her third attempt. I am amazed by this woman. She was victorious just by her attempts, by her courage, and by her ambitious. While her third attempt did not take her to the shores of Florida, she spent more than 40 hours in the shark-filled waters. In the end she held her head high and gave this statement:

“The medical team said I should not go another two nights in the water and risk additional likely Man-of-War stings which could have a long term cumulative effect on my body. But for each of us, isn’t life about determining your own finish line? This journey has always been about reaching your own other shore no matter what it is, and that dream continues.” - Diana Nyad

We should all be so bold as to determine our own finish line and continue our dreams regardless of the opinions of others.
