Promotion time?

Colorado sunlight hitting CSU campus building at dawn

 

(Photo: yesterday’s morning run at CSU caught the very first glimpses of sunshine… many of us go years missing a single moment like this… others go only 24 hours)

Yes.

Final answer.

The dreaded wake up call.

Scary.

Devastating.

Fear.

Uncertainty.

But.

Why?

A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice.

Long before seeing this quote, penned the following:

Not only is the wake up call painful, but so is the reflection immediately afterwards. This is the best thing that can ever happen to us.
