Whether it’s doing something fairly simple or rowing across the Atlantic or climbing a mountain, it doesn’t really matter. “The problem is I think, all to easily we can put things off until the day we just never get around to doing it.” “You don’t want to live with regrets.” More information on Asatuurs and Dennis can be found at www.fasterthanmymind.com where you can also be kept up to date regarding the planned documentary, Faster Than My Mind.
