Follow your heart


In my previous two episodes of Breaking Free, I discussed some of my favorite books and talked about how reading can increase your confidence in many areas. Well my guest this week shares how reading helped him follow his heart and find his purpose in life.


Mostafa Salameh grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan and found a way to reach England. He taught himself English by watching Sesame Street which eventually opened up a whole new world for him when he started to read inspirational books. The Alchemist, The Prophet, The Celestine Prophecy were the stepping stones to him becoming a great Explorer, Inspirational Speaker, Fundraiser and Author himself. His memoir DREAMS OF A REFUGEE is an extraordinary story of faith, bravery and perseverance with a foreword written by His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan.


Mostafa is the only Palestinian-Jordanian and one of only 20 people to climb the Seven Summits and reach the South Pole and the North Pole - known as the ‘Explorers Grand Slam’ . He skied Greenland from north to south and his next big goal is to run 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days. 


Mostafa is the amazing proof that you can dream big and make anything happen if you open your heart with full conviction. His passion is changing people's lives and he has found it through climbing

for charity, raising awareness about causes that are close to his heart and giving others the opportunity to experience adventures alongside him.


His courage to commit to climbing Everest and ask for King Abdullah of Jordan's support to do so, when he had no prior experience or the required fitness levels, is astounding to say the least !


Discussed in this episode:


  • How King Abdullah II of Jordan generously offered to write the foreword of Mostafa's memoir (4:00)
  • How life in a Palestinian refugee camp with strong family bonds shaped his personality (5:45)
  • Life in London starts in the basement of The Jordanian Embassy in Belgravia (8:30)
  • Learning English from Sesame Street and The Sun newspaper while working in the restaurant kitchen (12:00)
  • Watching Mel Gibson in Braveheart inspires Mostafa to study in Edinburgh (13:45)
  • The dream of climbing Everest happened in 2004 and turned his life around (16:00)
  • The steps Mostafa took to make his dream a reality even though he had a fear of heights (20:00)
  • Inspired to help others with LOWEST to HIGHEST for CANCER after meeting a young cancer patient (35:40)
  • Follow your heart and the 777 challenge (40:00)
