Last night I have watched very inspiring Danny Boyle’s movie from 2010 called ‘127 hours’. It’s a true story of a mountain climber, Aaron Ralston, who on 25th April 2003 went on a canyoneering (I looked that one up - I didn’t have clue what this type of sport/outdoor activity is called) trip to the Canyonlands National Park in Utah only to return armless, after 5 traumatic days trapped in a canyon. The deep desire to live pushed Aron to a desperate measures to save his own live. He amputated his own arm trapped under the rock in the middle of a dessert, hundreds miles away from any sign of civilization. Today, despite having only one arm he is still doing things he always loved - climbs, cycles, hikes, etc.... The movie has just made me thinking what an extraordinary creatures we - humans - are. We so often do underestimate the power of our minds, that when only positively stimulated, can make us do extraordinary things. Things, that we would never have thought, we are capable of. Truelly inspiring story.
