Sailing Away from the Safe Harbor…

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do…Sail away from the safe harbor…Explore, Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
Familiarity feels safe and the safe harbor can be a great place of rest and recuperation…. but growth and expansion occurs beyond the safe harbor. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I, for one, am quite certain that I am here on earth to grow and expand… and maybe help some people along the way.
There is a song by the band Incubus called “Warning.” The first verse goes like this: ”She woke in the morning. She knew that her life had passed her by. She called out a warning….”Don’t ever let life pass you by!”
While practicality definitely has its place, seeking new experiences is on my daily agenda. Every day is ripe with opportunity for an eye-opening, soul-stretching experience no matter how subtle it may be…
Leaving the harbor now….
Om Shanti,
