Being inspired. David Blane is inspired by Houdini and was always trying to push himself to do things that his body was seemingly unable to do. He thinks everything is possible and has always strived to push the boundaries of what people have said you could do.
He seems to also be inspired also by trying to prove people wrong. He was constantly doing things that people said he couldn’t do and they never thought his body could do. But he kept pushing himself and proving people wrong. His tactics are so interesting as well. I find him to be so interesting because he never gives up. He has failings and successes but he keeps going. It’s so interesting to see him talk about doing all of these extreme things that could kill him but he seems to have a passion for this.
He said last that its pushing through the pain to be the best you can be and I think that’s what it comes down to.
