So depending on how you put it it's either way too late or much too early for someone to be awake when they have a full day planned out. However, my sleepless rainy June night has brought me back to my blog covered in dust. I'd love to write that I've had some magical adventure in a beautiful foreign country, fell in love there with a guy driving a motorcycle, and practiced yoga daily for the past five months. If I could I'd use that as an excuse as to why I haven't blogged, I definately would. But the truth is I've been avoiding life for the most part. On the semi-bright side, it's my first week out of hibernation. Thoughts, feelings, and more importantly dreams for my future have been flooding in and as for tonight I feel like I'm drowning in them. I'm ready for a big change, and for once I actually know what that change will be, now I'm searching for the courage to go for it. Here's a quote out of this amazing book I've been reading, "The Greatness Guide: 101 Lessons for Success and Happiness." I also call it my daily dose of inspiration and my driving force out of hiding.
"I like my music loud, my coffee strong and my dreams huge. I like days with color, people with passion and conversations that call out the best within me. I want to live like there's no tomorrow, achieve the best within me, and love the people in my life like I really mean it. I want to do my part to elevate our world. I want to live with intensity.
What a beautiful word: intensity. Live a high-volume life. Play full-out. Take risks. Reach high. Don't look back. Be authentic. Be great.
"Live to the point of tears."
Sure we need to enjoy the journey, tread lightly and balance our courage with striking kindness. But do it all with rare passion, with bravery and with a sparkle in your eye. Do it all with intensity. All of the great ones do."
