Donates to Action Against Hunger

Rated G. (Control what you see)

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.

About mymusic1234

Mark Spivey is a musician composer located in Western Australia who produces unique instrumental recordings that capture the sounds and moods of the Australian landscape.

Mark officially began his creative recording career in mid 1995 with his determination to learn the harmonica.
This was followed by a number of other musical instruments including the Sampona, percussion and Keyboard. As an experiment he decided to try his hand at producing a CD (which proved to be successful) and taught himself the computer skills needed to build and operate his own recording studio.

Mark's success as an independent musician grew with the discovery of niche markets for his music. His involvement in the creative arts from an early age includes stage,radio and more recently film and television production. Mark has recorded two solo albums and has been involved in a number of other projects. He has an interest in the net and developing creative ways to be a positive influence online and building income using the latest technologies.

Mark has a heart for helping people and is currently involved in live sound production, online video & assisting children with special needs.

He is also a keen kayaker and snorkeller. 

You can meet Mark at his own online TV studio www.helloworld.com/markspivey
