While working on my resume I decided to create a little graphic of all the places I’ve been to on my travels (I’m a big fan of infographics). Looking at it reminds me of how far I’ve come, and of this quote:

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

I’m going to change it a bit:

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step backwards and two steps forward - every single day.”

These are tough times, but I’ll hold this quote to heart:

“And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.” - Jerry Chin

I’m only about ten years late to reading The monk who sold his Ferrari, but this quote stands out:

“If you care for your mind, if you nurture it and if you cultivate it just like a fertile, rich garden, it will blossom far beyond your expectations… Yet look at the toxic waste most people put into the fertile garden of their minds every single day: the worries and anxieties, the fretting about the past, the brooding over the future and those self-created fears that wreak havoc within your inner world.”

“Life is like a jail with an unlocked, heavy door. You’re free the minute you realize the door will open if you simply lean into it.

You are what you learn.”
