“I remembered that the real world was wide, and that a varied field of hopes and fears, of sensations and excitements, awaited those who had the courage to go forth into its expanse, to seek real knowledge of life amidst it’s perils.”― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
Fresh year
Blank canvas
Broad horizon
Take in the view
Set the course
Slow the pace
Do the work
Small steps not big leaps
It need not all be done in January
Slow the pace
Direct energy, attention, effort
Detours, delays, resistance, friction guaranteed
Muscle, strength building for the long game
Consistency, discipline, mindset
Adds up, sticks, delivers
Slow the pace
Principles, perspectives, approaches
Rather than schemes, shortcuts, bursts
Real, meaningful change
Into the beautiful expanse
Keep climbing, slow the pace, enjoy the view.
“We become what we behold.”― William Blake, Jerusalem
