He realized that he wanted to do it back in 1968 before ground had even been broken on the towers. On top of that, he would have to do the walk without the permission of the World Trade Center since there was no way they were going to allow someone to wire walk 1350 feet above Manhattan. He pretended to be a French journalist, a construction worker, and a electric fence installer all in order to investigate the buildings and set up equipment. He was even caught by the police one time, but it never deterred him from his dream. Hearing him talk now 30+ years later you can hear the excitement in his voice. Clearly this was his passion.
What are you passionate about? What would you do to pursue your dream and would you let anything stand in your way?

Good thoughts Nick! I'm trying to pursue that dream right now by planting this church in Durham. Sometimes it feels like I'm walking a wire too - like I could crash to my death at any moment! haha.
By the way, I was trying to find a way to email you... maybe I'll check facebook.
