What is unclear here with Maya is whether this was an epiphany about herself or about our world.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind. – Maya Angelou

Because everyone knows our world needs some work.

But who knows about the change we need to initiate?

No one? Not even us?

Seriously?

Ya with me?

Dear readers, Happy Thanksgiving

First day of school parking lot welcome sign

 

(photo: first day of school parking lot welcome sign… how will children learn if not from our wonderful example?)

Thanksgiving is both 100 days away and it is here today.

One profound thought 100 days ago for us to read today, Thanksgiving.

Change one to change everything.

What if we never criticized another person for the rest of our lives.

And what if we channeled all the things we thought needed fixing in the world – what if we channelled that energy, that critical eye, that passion, all the compelling reasons why – what if we channeled it into fixing ourselves?

Change one to change everything?

Should we launch our lives in the direction of our wildest dreams?

Two out of three (quotes) ain’t bad (one is not original). Who cares, right?

 

There are amazingly inspiring people throughout history, but something is missing, even in a wonderfully captivating quote like this:

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. –Amelia Earhart

What’s missing?

Action.

Quotes from famous people are like a shot of whiskey.

Something gutsy and raw in the consuming.

The wonderful afterglow is pretty amazing.

The letdown from not being able to maintain and sustain that wonderful feeling is why we keep consuming quotes, yet few of us ever launch our lives in the direction of our wildest dreams.

Things begin to change when we begin to change.

Common sense, but not common. (quotable?)
