This is a lens to encourage and inspire.

Most people live ordinary lives.

Just occasionally you meet someone who lives beyond the average - people who dare to not just dream but actually DO.

Despite difficulties and challenges that would cause most to give up these individuals and their families have decided to think and live outside the box.

Then there are those who would dare to think of the wellbeing and safety of others and  devote themselves to this service - sometimes risking their own lives to do so.

In a world of celebrities without character, there are diamonds if you are prepared to take notice.

These are true champions.

Watch, learn from and be inspired in your own life - because a champion is made not born. 

Perspective, Vision and Choices. 

I'll let the videos speak for themselves, but basically it all boils down to three points:

How they saw things.

The vision they had.

And what they were going to do to get there.

Just like you and I.
We all can choose to live beyond the average if we dare.

You are only truly blind if you lose vision for your future.
