Pushing Your Limits

In May of this year Ben Lecomte will attempt a feat of enduring passion, swimming across the Pacific Ocean. Why would anyone in their mind even consider such a dangerous endeavor?

Ben is credited with being the first to swim across the Atlantic. He did so to raise money for cancer research honoring his Dad who passed away with colon cancer.

Now his purpose is to give strength to others to endure whatever our life maybe handing to us. Times today are tough and many are suffering from loss of income leading to loss of jobs and loss of our homes, loss of self-respect and dignity. Ben wants all of us to understand that we can endure through any pain and suffering we might be going through.




His swim across the largest ocean on the earth will begin in Tokyo and end in San Francisco. According to Wikipedia: The Pacific Ocean "covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about one-third of its total surface area, making it larger than all of the Earth's land area combined." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ocean

When you watch this Youtube video of Ben please consider Liking it and leaving a comment. Thank you.


If Ben is willing to do this for all of us surely we can endure and make it through whatever life hands us.

Please keep Ben in your thoughts and prayers.

Finding Joy

Finding Joy in our life can at times be a daunting task. I suggest it will stay that way if you lose hope in yourself.

Maybe you can find some joy and be persuaded to keep going by watching this presentation from Simple Truths. If you have to watch it several times. Clear your mind of everything else and concentrate on the beautiful music and pictures. Be at peace with yourself.



If you got something from this movie how about leaving me a comment below.
