For the past 6 months I've been helping my friend, Steve, building a canoe. We've taken our time wanting to build it from wood we cut and shape ourselves, taking pride that it does not contain any nails. Looking a several completed canoes we had a vision of what we wanted.
I find building that "perfect career" is much like canoe building. My inspirational song this morning, Dare You To Move, by Switchfoot, made it clear that going after your dreams is not easy, full of challanges, and sometimes fears. It's easier and safer "not to move".
Steve and I could have taken the easy way with the canoe and bought a kit and used nails....but, it would not be as close to our vision of a "beautiful boat" if we did not persevere.
This convinces me to preserver after my career and work dreams. What are your dreams?
Great work helping your friend for preparing sailboat. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Now it's time for me to motivate myself and finish my boat. Motivation is a strange thing.
