Michael Davis' D.R.E.A.M. Steps

DREAM

What does "Reach Your Peak" mean to me?

To pursue your dreams, to lead with your heart to listen to that voice inside yourself that wants to fly, take a chance, a risk, to dare to be different, follow your own lead, to help others, to help yourself, to make a difference in the world… that's what REACH YOUR PEAK means to me…

Goals:

Community Goal: Create an organization to teach youth from an early age how to awaken and go after their dreams, and learn how to give back to their communities. This will build in them a greater sense of self-confidence and responsibility, and a chance at continuing on that process for generations to come, as well as live more truthful and fulfilling lives.

Personal Goal: To experience the world in a different way, to learn about teamwork, and to test my mental and physical strength and endurance by climbing the Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent including the notorious Mt. Everest.

"For me mountain climbing is the struggle of man against himself. The fight to withstand prolonged exposure to the often-harsh elements of Mother Nature. The ability to leave behind the creature comforts of civilization and keep moving even when every cell in your body screams for you to stop. The opportunity to see the world in all its glory, just the way god created it. The understanding to know you can survive, to know what you're capable of, and to take this journey in concert with others, all facing the same tests, each there for their own reasons. There has never been a time in my life, that I have felt more awake or more alive..."
