"If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone." ~John Maxwell
"Every calling is great when greatly pursued." ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
"It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity." ~Francis Bacon Sr.
What are you doing to challenge your own growth? Have you stretched yourself lately? Gotten out of your comfy chair and sat up to take notice of the direction your life is heading in? You may want to consider shaking things up a little.
Lately I've done just that. I'm off to pursue my latest calling! I've stopped to breathe in the air of possibility which is inflating my lungs and upon exhale I've given in to its rich and diverse imaginings. Nothing is out of reach. No dream impossible.
I've got my heart set on a great project right now and am unable to think of anything else. I will reach, stretch, fly and soar....hopefully to help bring this thing to fruition and then some. I hope you stand up and reach for something new too, for the feeling it gives you is nothing short of incredible. Go challenge yourself today. Something big or something small...I dare you! And remember, anything done with clarity of purpose and integrity is bound to succeed. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...

With you on it's side, this project has no choice but to take flight~

I enjoyed this post tonight. Definitely shake things up! I have had a jumbled week of creativity and work and walking. Most of all just active and playing. I love it.
