Inspiring Video

The lyric of this song has never failed to breathe life into me when I feel I need a perk up. I would like to share it with you together with the YouTube video above. It's about Ben, a guy who found a new lease of life when he started running. The video is aptly titled "My 120 pounds journey". He was morbidly obese and depressed to finding health and happiness. After he started running, he lost 120 pounds, run seven marathons, completed two Ironmans, and gone from depressed recluse to motivational speaker. He has an inspiring blog which I am starting to read from the beginning. I can TOTALLY relate to his story. I have also started a similar journey towards a fit and healthy lifestyle. It doesn't matter what your final goal is, be it to lose weight, to lead a healthy lifestyle, to run a marathon, to do Ironman or just simply to be happy.
It's not the destination but it's the journey that makes it all worthwhile!


There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away


And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you


It's a long road
When you face your world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear


Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
