Humans and our insatiable desire to see what’s over the next hill

 

Why is it human nature to want to explore? Because we are curious? Restless? Unhappy? Greedy? What?

Humans have always been explorers.

Very glad you are on this journey – this adventure of writing/reading five daily differently-themed blogs about life’s big choices.

No guarantees for our transformation.

But a serious hunch things are changing.

This image will not change until this person does

The same view as above, but from three steps back (a place in life a split second prior)

 

This image will not change until this person does.

The image we picture of ourselves controls the temperature of our life. We won’t see changes in our life until we alter our self image.

We also know this.

This knowledge is the artist’s starting point.

We are artists (whether we accept this or not).

We know this.

Go!

Go Airlines jet inflight in Hawaii
Go. Do something scary today. Go!

 

Wishing you the best day.

Truly, each day is an interesting proposition.

To be remarkable or to be on autopilot?

Being remarkable really calls on our best efforts.

The good news is that remarkable has cruise control.

Go, fly, soar, be amazing, have fun, make a difference.

And do one small thing that scares you.

Then set it on autopilot and do the same thing everyday.
