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.
{go out with wides eyes and discover. see something new. grow}
