Kindle sky again today.
A bit of drizzle here in Los Angeles.
Coffee about to be brewed.
Advice to a younger traveler of life?
Try the things that pull on you the most.
Give them your effort.
Real effort.
Then don’t spend too much time staring at the outcome.
If it works, great.
If it fails, you just got a couple more reps.
That’s all.
I used to think failure was evidence that I should stop.
Now I think failure is evidence that I tried.
Life seems to reward movement.
Not always immediately.
Not always financially.
Not always in the way you’d prefer.
But movement teaches.
The traveler who walks learns things the traveler standing still never will.
So try.
Miss.
Try again.
Put in the reps.
And somewhere along the way, don’t forget to enjoy it.
Have fun.
