Welcome to Daily Insight,

My name is François and in this episode I will talk about living fully.

So get ready to expand your perspective and embrace positive change.

On August 5th,

2023,

I stood closer to the sun than any other human on Earth,

On the Wimper Summit,

At a breathtaking,

I mean literally,

Altitude of 6,

268 meters.

It's like 20,

565 feet,

On the top of Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador.

Because of the shape of Earth,

This is the closest point on Earth to the sun.

And yes,

I have to say,

I felt quite special up there.

During the ascent,

I kept thinking.

Mountaineering is like a great metaphor for life.

The journey is full of ups and downs,

The vistas are awe-inspiring,

But sometimes it sucks.

It's tough,

But that's what makes it so rewarding.

Sometimes you want to stop and give up,

Wondering why you even do that at the first place.

But it is precisely in those moments that you learn and grow.

Resilience,

Strength,

Courage,

Confidence,

Those are not created from your couch.

You will never feel alive if you don't allow yourself to live.

Okay,

You don't need to go freeze at high altitude when there is no oxygen to breathe.

We all have our unique mountains to climb.

My question for you is,

Are you climbing it?

Or looking at it thinking,

It would be great if… Thank you for choosing to spend those few minutes with me.

I hope this episode has left you with a powerful takeaway to apply to your life.

Remember,

It's the small steps we take each day that lead to significant transformation.

Follow me to not miss out on the next insight.

And remember,

One insight can change everything.

So stay present,

Stay focused and embrace the potential of each new day.
