sometimes the truth is so obvious

"be an opener of doors for such as come after thee.” - ralph waldo emerson

i'd rather have too much on my plate than too much time on my hands. 'cause when i'm busy, and i'm doing something i love, i don't really feel busy at all. i feel productive. and as the days grow shorter with each passing day, i feel like i'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. this past summer was a long one for me. so much happened. yet i accomplished so little. of use, that is.

but today, for the first time in a long time, i could sense progress. like the effort was finally starting to pay off. like the effort was finally starting to lead to good results. i may not have said this before, but these days i measure my progress by the progress of others. and today i sensed real progress in others. again and again and again.

"don't wait until everything is just right. it will never be perfect. there will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. so what. get started now. with each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” - mark victor hansen
