live out loud

So, I found two amazing quotes today, and I think they actually fit together really well, and sort of sum up what I have been thinking about today.

“Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them. They make the impossible happen.”

"You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: "Did he have passion?" (Serendipity)

In the past few days, life has presented me with some really incredible opportunities, and a lot of potential for the future. It is one of those weeks where I feel like things are starting to come together, and that there really is a plan out there for me somewhere. Maybe God doesn't just intend for me to be able to ask customers if they want fries with that in five different languages (although it is always a good backup plan if need be!) So, after yet another amazing day today, I'm totally pumped up. I feel like I really can change the world... touch people's lives... give back for the many ways I have been blessed in life. It's been one of those days where the obstacles that used to block my path have faded into the distance, and I'm staring at a wide open road, with nothing between me and my wildest dreams. And I'm ready to follow that path, with everything I've got.

that's amazing!
i have been reading this book this week about teaching peace and non-violence and have become convinced that i can change the world through teaching, and i'm glad that i'm not the only crazy person on fire about what they want to do and convinced they can change the world!

let's make a deal: any time one of us feels like we're NOT making a difference, or CAN'T, remind each other that we can, and are, ok? ;-)
