Dear Reader,
Two stories in this issue could
change your life. On page 58, Nicole
Kear tells a joyful, true tale about
going blind as an adult. On page 66,
Brad Herzog writes about one-hit
wonders-singular feats by people
who never followed up with a sequel.
So what does a woman with a
degenerative retinal disease have to
do with, among others, the guy who
photographed the Wright brothers'
first flight? Both took what they were
given and found glory-one through
personal tragedy, the other through
a stroke of luck.
I believe you and I can become
one-hit wonders as well, by seeking
glory intentionally. Pursue a great
feat, an unprecedented one that
amazes you.
Last year I went after my own
one-hit wonder by attempting to
"run my age" up New Hampshire's
4,802-foot Mount Moosilauke. That
meant I had to reach the summit in
fewer minutes than my age in years.
I knew of only a dozen people who
had succeeded, none of them over
the age of 50. (Of course, very few
had been odd enough to try.) After
training for nine months and losing
28 pounds, I broke the age barrier on
my 58th birthday. Geezer glory. No
plaque will ever be installed in my
honor, mind you. Still, for the rest
of my life I can bask in my one wondrous personal hit.
What would yours be? If you've
already attempted such a feat, write
to me at letters@spiritmag.com,
and let me know what you learned.
Personally, I found that the accomplishment itself was less glorious
than the wisdom I picked up along
the way from books, experts, and my
own mistakes. I learned powerful
lessons about motivation and physiology. And about myself.
Which brings me to the lifechanging part. I discovered that the
point of a one-hit wonder is not the
hit: It's the wonder.
