+ @KariByron: “Thirteen years ago I floated down the Nile with a girl I met. Today our kids played together. Love the journey.”
Kari’s message inspired me.
Nick does too:
“Dyrdek does whatever his soul wants to do.” + @NickPassig
“Other things used to stop us, lack of resources, etc. but we’ve studied and learned. Now the only thing stopping us is ourselves.” + @NickPassig
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”
– J. W. von Goethe
My Father sent me this quote and I keep it on my freezer, where I see it every day. The effect started manifesting a few weeks ago and is growing. It is exciting, amazing, uncanny, and scary all at the same time, like sitting in the front car on the rollercoaster of life just before it crests the peak of the biggest, most thrilling drop: You can’t see what’s coming, but you know it’s going to be a great ride!
So please make sure your seatbelts are fastened, seat backs are up, and your tray stowed in the upright and locked position. We’re about to begin our descent into a whole new world…
Whee! 😀
One of my resolutions this year is to write more. So I have compiled this list of various life stories to share (in no particular order). I’ll get to them as I can, but if any tickle your interest, leave a comment here and I’ll up the priority… 🙂
I’ll link the stories here as they are written.
