…start very small.
This goes out to the freshmen, the beginners, and the dreamers.
Courageously dive into the small things.
Obsess over the unnoticed and then expose use to the beauty we’ve overlooked.
Draw a map and then take us on a journey.
Taste test and then shape our taste.
Every big idea, person, place, or thing is big because someone was willing to go/be/act small.
When we arrive at what we saw we can always see further.
I have to think that even atop the mountains we climb, something pulls at us to go climb their neighbor.
Praise be that we don’t have finish lines.
We have journeys that birth journeys and the words etched on the gold found at the end of our rainbows read ‘see. there’s more.’
Denial?
Disbelief?
Doubt?
Distraction?
Walk through one of these and it’s quite hard to get back into the room where you cultivate your dreams.
Why have any plan that distracts from plan ‘A’? You don’t want that temptation and your dreams don’t deserve that either.
When we’re talking about your dreams, an exit strategy is an oxymoron. Nothing more. Nothing less.
What if we sought out the answers to a fraction of the things we wonder?
Surely we’ll find something – and therein lies my hope.
Let us be wanderers of our wonders.
Why do we tell ourselves what we aren’t more than we tell ourselves what we are?
While the soul itself doesn’t need a reminder, it is a healthy thing to remind the soul bearer of that which the soul already knows to be true.
We all could use more purpose and meaning reminders.
When you know who you are you then know where you’re going…and when you know where you’re going, eventually you get there.
Knowing thy self is the best thing since Google Maps to get you where you want to go.
