Boldly Go

In honor of the new Star Trek movie coming out this weekend, I wanted to focus my blog post this week on a portion of the manifest quoted so often by those in Starfleet:

Boldly go where no one has gone before.

I want you to stop for a second and think about your life.

Think about your dreams.

Think about what you want.

What you really want.

Even if it's unrealistic.

Even if it is what some would call impossible.

Then I want you to take a step today towards making that happen.

Look at yourself!

You have breath in your lungs. You have energy in your soul. You have ideas in your head that can change the world.

So go do it!

You have the freedom to do whatever you want.

You have the ability to be a firework in a dark sky,

a splash of brilliant color on a white page,

a burst of song in a silent room.

Your reach can extend across oceans if you just extend your arms.

Your voice can shake down walls if you just speak up.

Your feet can walk through fire if you just have the courage to take the first step.

You were not created to blend in.

You were not created to be timid or small or average.

You were made to be

dazzling,

exceptional,

extraordinary.

There is an entire universe out there waiting for you to breathe life into its cosmos.

There are glassy oceans waiting for you to make waves.

There are silent halls waiting for the music of your vibrant heartbeat.

So get out there.

Start a Youtube channel to showcase your original songs.

Put up flyers advertising your new business.

Sign up for that class.

Pack that bag.

Buy that ticket.

Share that story.

Be bold.

Be stunning.

Be brilliant.
