Daredevil Dean Potter is making headline news for his slackline rope walk over an impressive canyon in China. Opinions aimed at his achievement run high and wide.  Opinions point at Potter and say he is reckless, fearless, or a showoff. Ironically, opinions about human beings never hit the mark. They just fall to the ground.

When I watched Dean Potter walk the rope, I thought, Yep, another reminder that the impossible is possible. Then I wondered, What kind of music was he listening to?

From21st Century Science and Health, “If record breaking performers believed it impossible to accomplish spectacular events, they could never do it. Their belief that they can achieve gives their thought forces, called muscles, their flexibility and power which the unscientific might attribute to adrenaline or genes. Fear must disappear before the power of putting resolve into action can appear.”
