A Story from 14,000 feet

This email is full of goats, lightning bolts, and adventure...what more could you ask for? Having trouble viewing this email? Click here     Follow: Goats, Lightning Bolts, and Adventures at 14,000 Feet     Having read several hundred biographies during my adult life, I feel somewhat qualified to comment upon the general concept of adversity. I’ll cut to the chase… The huge common denominator that is present in the lives of great achievers is adversity. In fact, I will go so far as to say that in the greatest of men and women, adversity is a significant portion of the very reason for their success.

But it is!   The photo was taken at 14,000 feet on Mt. Evans in Colorado by Verdon Tomajko. The kids’ parents were grazing nearby when the storm started and the photographer was snapping away as the babies were jumping boulder to boulder.   He said, "Suddenly, they all jumped to one boulder at the same time, the lightening flashed, and I caught it!"   It is awesome, isn't it? Of course, we know the "lucky shot" would never have happened if the photographer had not first climbed to 14,000 feet! Wow!!
