Losing sight of the shore.

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”—William Faulkner

We like to play it safe. We like it within the confines of our comfort zone. Safe is good, but it doesn’t produce growth. Safe does not take us to new horizons.

The great explorers, the great inventors, the record-breakers in sport, the great entrepreneurs, and all who would make history have dared to “leave the shore.” They swam into the waters of uncertainty and risked failure. It takes courage to do what others won’t. However, doing what others won’t will certainly bring different results.

We are not meant to remain where we are (Spiritually, Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, and Socially). It is uniquely human to grow—to become someone better; to make the Universe better. We are meant to swim for new horizons.

Be your best today; be better tomorrow.

Carpe momento!
