Karl Wallenda's final — and tragic — tightrope walk was caught on video in San Juan, Puerto Rico.


 The WALLENDA Principle

The Wallenda family was renowned for their spectacular circus acts comprising acrobatics and tight-rope walking. Their group was called The Flying Wallendas. The head of the family, Karl Wallenda, was famous for his death-defying tightrope walks between high buildings and over Niagara Falls without a safety net. 

In March 1978, the world watched in horror as Karl Wallenda fell to his death. As he attempted to walk across a high wire strung between the two towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, 73-year-old Wallenda lost his balance, teetering on the wire for 30 heart-stopping seconds before plummeting 10 stories.

What was it about this walk that could have sent him to his death? When interviewed, his widow recalled, “All Karl thought about for three straight months prior to it was falling. It was the first time he’d ever thought about that, and it seemed to me that he put all his energies into not falling rather than walking the tightrope successfully.”

From this incident, Laura Davis would go on to formulate ‘The Wallenda Principle’ in her book ‘A Guide To Getting It :Self Esteem.’

This principle illustrates the power of our focus of attention. It makes clear the fact that we want to focus on what we “Want” NOT on what we “Don’t Want.” Focusing your thinking on dodging failure can lead to devastating outcomes. 



Shift your focus, stop paying attention to what you don’t want and start paying attention to what you do want. What you focus on grows. If you focus on fear and doubt, you invite more fear and doubt into your life. When you shift your focus to more positive emotions, things will start falling into place. ❤️

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”

– Albert Einstein
