Climb

 People are amazing. Constantly, we are doing incredible things. People built a wall that is visible from space! They figured out a way to see the stars and visit other planets! For generations we have made beautiful art and amazing music. Our accomplishments are not by accident. We try hard and fail, then try harder. Every day we get closer to our goal. The whole time having this incredible incentive of accomplishment dangling in front of us. We all aspire to be better versions of ourselves. We see it in our future that we will be successful.

 Every day we have to climb a little higher, a little closer to being the person we see in our ambitions. If it was easy, everyone would do it. It isn't easy. It is hard. That is what makes it rewarding. Sitting at the top of the mountain is our reward. And, when we finally reach the peak and hold in our hands that thing we want more than anything...we will know that we climbed a mountain to get it.

Ship Shape

 Let's say that I can see ten years into the future. Let's say I describe a typical day in your life. Wouldn't it be absolutely terrible if it sounded exactly like what you were doing today? Could you imagine ten years going by with nothing changing? It would be a waste of ten years! In the moment, change can be so scary; starting a new school, new job, new town, new life. But if we don't change, we can't grow.

 People are made to change and grow! We have a sense of wonder inside of us. It is in our nature to be wanderers and travelers. People want to go and discover new ideas and places. They want to learn and broaden horizons.

 Grace Murray was this incredibly successful woman. I believe she retired as an Admiral in the US Navy. She was a ground breaker. She had no fear in following her sense of wonder and letting it change her. I love what she says here. She could not be more right. We are ships. It is our fear of change that keeps us anchored in port. But, that is not what we are built for. We are made to be adventurers.
