I caught myself reading today for the first time in a long time. I don't mean reading like what you all are doing right now. Not skimming textbooks for the correct response, or reading the TV guide to see what is on next, or the take-out menu at work so I can order lunch. I mean I caught myself engulfed in a book that had absolutely nothing to do with anything going on in my life in that moment, yet somehow I felt completely at ease, as if the book had taken me to a place I rarely get the chance to visit, a place outside of my understanding- a peaceful place. Far too often we get caught up in the everyday (I know, I'm preaching to the choir, but hey, my grandma IS the choir director). I am guilty of this more often than not, but as I was sitting there lost in the words of a book about a person I could only relate to in my dreams, I realized just what it might take for me to get lost in my dreams everyday yet everyday to wake up in reality. How awesome would that be? To know that the sky is the limit. To push yourself in every moment to become something you never thought you could be. To stumble and fall but to pick yourself up and still be walking in the heavens. In order for one to do this, you must be able to let go of the outside world, and visit that place you pause to think about only on rare occasions. Its been a long time since I've had dreams bigger than my own comprehension, but I've decided it is time to act because the future is waiting. A dream of mine for a long time has been to start a blog, and to share with others my musings which are sometimes outside my own realm of understanding. I can't be sure what may come next in my posts, but stick around to follow me on my journey to the place where dreams become reality.
PS: If the top of your page says "Trial and Error," its not an error on your computer. All of the world's greatest successors have infinite experience with trial and error. I'm just documenting mine and sharing it with you!
