Nik Wallenda: Living Life High on the Wire

Nik Wallenda is an acrobat, daredevil, high wire artist and author.  He is known for his high-wire performances without a safety net.  He holds nine Guinness World Records for various acrobatic feats but is probably best known for walking a tightrope stretched over Niagara Falls.  He is the author of a book entitled: Balance: A Story of Faith, Family and Life on the Line.   Some interesting insights from this episode:  "Life is on the wire and everything else is just waiting."  "Fear is a choice and it's up to us to decide whether we're going to allow that fear to enter our mind or not."  "I'd rather live free doing what I love and what I have passion for than to live in a bubble."  "I consider a negative thought like a weed growing in the garden. If you don't pull the weed out, it will eventually take over the garden."  "Whatever you're facing in life, whether physical, mental or emotional, anything is possible."  "Every negative experience has led me to where I am today."  "Excellence is the way we treat the everyday person, whether we like them or not."
