Description

This is an iconic combination of inspirational quotes forged in the heat of competition and blended with breathtaking photos from the world of nature. Brief chapters address topics essential to master for excellence, like fear, change, and turning life into art. As a presentation of words and images, the book brings forth ideas, solutions, and ways to move forward that never present themselves through logic. It relieves the outcome of being important to bestow the highest significance to the exact moment at hand, when nothing else matters. That focus quiets the mind, initiates stillness, and opens up every facet of one's being in order to lock in and ignite the potential just waiting to be catalyzed moment by moment. When past and future disappear, and winning and losing are forgotten, competition subsides, leaving the only possibility that anything is possible.

"The true artistic gift is the ability to see—or perhaps 'sense'—something others cannot quite put their finger. That is what Mark has done here, capturing the inner terrain of the true competitor through photographs and quote-poems, unlike anything I have seen before."  —Jim Collins, author, Great by Choice
