As the great Napoleon Hill said “Whatever Your Mind Can Conceive and Believe, It Can Achieve“

Clearly Nims Purja believed this to be true

Why are we writing about him you are probably wondering?

Because we hear so often from people how fearful they are of change, of doing something different, of stepping outside their comfort zone.

We get it because we’ve been in that situation fearful of doing something about the position we found ourselves in back in 2008

But we conquered that fear and today we can feel grateful we had the courage

This film (the trailer is below) had us hooked on the courage of this man and his achievements

Achievements not just for himself but for those who joined him on Project Possible

We’re not climbers but we do respect the power of the mountains as skiers

In the film this fearless Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja embarks on a seemingly impossible
quest to summit all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks in seven months

It’s never been done before and as he says ‘It’s about achieving the impossible in life’

Climbing the 14 mountains above 8,000 meters — Everest, K2, and a dozen more — in just six months and six days. In the process, he reached new frontiers of human possibility

When asked why he said

” I have to push my limits to the max. Sitting tight, waiting it out and living in the past, has never been my thing. I want to be at the world’s highest point again, knowing it might slip out from underneath me at any moment. Because that is the only way to live. If You Give Up, You Die”

Nimsdai Purja, Beyond Possible

He and his fellow climbers set a path for others to follow

Isn’t that all we can hope for, that someone will set a path for us to follow in whatever endeavour we undertake
