“Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart
you were meant to do.”  ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The big question for me is whether or not I can give a hearty, unequivocal ‘yes’ to a new adventure.  My philosophy, borrowed from someone else, has stuck in my mind for years. 

“I’d like to make footprints in the sands of time, but you can’t make footprints in the sands of time if you’re sitting on your butt… unless your intent is to make butt-prints in the sands of time.” ~ unknown    

I chose to risk the unknown and not be swallowed up by stagnation and lack of challenges.  Once in a while the soul needs a different perspective to heighten a sense of purpose and engage with who we think we are or wish to be.  The journey itself is my objective as much as reaching a destination.  The impact of that journey may take years to be fully realized, but the magic of it all will last forever.

“The worst curse to befall anyone is stagnation, a banal existence, the quiet desperation that comes out a need for conformity.”  ~ Deepak Chopra
