"If we did all the things we were capable of doing, we would astound ourselves." - Thomas Edison
I know I've dumbfounded myself before (ha! and true) but now I'm reaching towards astounding. Every movement of every second hand on every clock in this house finds me striving towards a new level of me.
Somewhere inside me the innovator, the re-invigorator found new footing; has been cleaning out the mental cobwebs; and is winding me up for my next chapter. Here I am! You know me! Let's do this!
Working every night to accomplish my life's goal of becoming an author. Every minute until the day is truly done. What do I have left on this to-do list of mine? Ah yes, it says: keep going...
So I do. Marching on like the never-ceasing hands of the minute maker above me to the right. Time is still moving so it's time to take stock.
When you’re reaching for new levels of you…
…tick…
…tick…
…seconds seem like centuries…
…tick…
…tick…
…the work you put into you...
…tick…
…tick…
...the work you're putting out into the world...
…tick…
…tick…
…feels ready but the starting line...
…tick…
...tick...
…is so far away...
...and the clock ticks so...
...sloooow…
…tick…
...tick...
...WHOOSH!
…tick…
…suddenly...
...tick...
…tick…
...the hands spin faster…
…tick…
…tick…
…and what you thought…
…tick…
…tick…
…was taking forever...
…tick…
…tick…
...tick...
...was the right amount of time...
…tick…
...to do all the things.
…tick…
Time for the astounding...
