A gentle close to the week

Oh, hi friends!

Your first response is probably correct.

Your sitting-on-the-fence is also a response. (It’s no.)

Your first draft isn’t perfect, but it probably has the right spirit.

Your reluctance to take that gig is because you don’t want it.

Your reluctance to quit is because you’re scared. (It’s OK to be scared.)

Your growth is defined by saying “yes,” again and again.

Your past is a ledger, not a blueprint.

Your envy is an arrow.

Your time is now.

“Your envy is an arrow” is FANTASTIC.

As is the photo. When I was going through the worst time of my whole life — in a situation I was unable to see a way out of, short of getting hit by a bus and killed — I used to go to the park and stand by the trunk of the biggest trees and look up.

I’d say to each one, “You don’t care about my problems, Tree.” And I took such comfort from it. Because, if the tree doesn’t care, if my problems are irrelevant to the tree, then maybe they’re not that bad?

Thanks, as always. xx
