Only Possibilities
“Only Possibilities” is the personal mission statement of
John Maclean, and if you look at the many incredible things he has accomplished
in his life you will understand exactly what he means. John is a member of the prestigious
Hawaiian Ironman Hall of Fame, has swum the English Channel, been awarded the
Australian National Sport Medal, earned a silver medal at the Beijing Summer
Olympics, and has competed in countless other elite athletic competitions. John has done all these things as
a paraplegic. As a young man John
was hit by a truck while training and forever lost the use of his legs. Rather than allow this disability to
limit him, John chose to see only the vast possibilities of what he could do
with his life and dedicated himself to competing in the most challenging
athletic events in the world. Here
is how John describes his philosophy:
"In business and in life, we all face obstacles and
crossroads. While my 20-year story seems like an extreme account of setbacks
and facing up to them, the message is not about those obstacles, or how they
got there, more about learning to see challenges, or adversity if you like, and
welcoming it as a fuel to feed off. Any of the great people I have met have
harnessed adversity and turned it into an energy that allows them to achieve so
much more. All of us can do that, we simply have to make that choice."
