Unbelievable Personal Challenges That Will Change Your Life – My Sailboat Hauls Out

by | Daily JOY Reel, Sailboat Stories, Substack

Have you ever taken on a challenge in life that is well beyond your capacity or what you perceive to be your capacity at the time?

In this video, you see my sailboat behind me.

The frigid Canadian winters require boats to be hauled out in the fall and launched in the spring. Transition periods can be overwhelming.

Although only 30 feet long, my boat feels massive to maintain and sail.
Akiya — that’s her name.

She’s a challenge I find pretty exciting.
Watch the short video and ‘catch my drift.’
Have you ever been confronted with an overwhelming challenge or a vital goal? Did you fear the first steps?

Epic personal challenges should have some element of ‘overwhelm.’

Take on a big challenge and do what matters: learn, love, and live life on your terms.

Every fall, when ‘Akiya,’ our 30-foot sailboat, hauls out, I take endless videos on my iPhone.

In this particular year, I decided to compile a monologue using Final Cut Pro.

Note the older version of branding called ‘ProjectWhatMatters’, which was an idea I had for creating projects that matter.

Since then, I’ve rebranded to DanTrep and, finally, today, IbraDanCreative.

Embracing change and testing new ideas has brought me joy and created new creative possibilities.

Don’t be afraid to do the same. It’s a journey worth taking.
