Discovery

Who never walks save where he sees
men's tracks, makes no discoveries.
- J. G. Holland

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
- James Joyce

The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes
but in having new eyes.

Be a Columbus to whole new worlds of thought within you - Henry David Thoreau

Be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.
- Henry David Thoreau

While Christopher Columbus is, and was, a man of very mixed reputation, we know of Christopher Columbus today, 500 years after he lived, because he had a Dream, Charted a Course, and Boldly Set Sail.

Like Columbus, we have Dreams that run through our head like full color movies, pleading with us to take action.

Like Columbus, we have many people telling us that our dreams are "crazy," and we should settle for less.

Like Columbus we are unable to anticipate what the future will bring, and what the consequences of taking action on our Dreams might be.

Will we, like Columbus, chart the best course we are able, given the information we have access to at the time, and set sail? Or will we trash our Dreams into the box labeled "fantasy discard pile," and return to doing what others expect of us?

Stand tall, breathe deep, and Choose today to chart the course that will transform your Dream into reality.

[the above is taken from Regaining Your Happiness in Seven Weeks: a Training Program]

My article What Can Christopher Columbus Teach Us Today? includes information about Columbus' miscalculations.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
- C. S. Lewis

Every day is a new day - a day for new beginnings, new dreams, new action - a day for challenge, adventure , and discovery. TODAY, what is your goal? What is your dream? What action are you taking to further your goals and dreams?

Discovery and adventure, rather than fear

Choose what lies in the shadows to be a matter for discovery and adventure, rather than fear.
- jlh

We all have an instinctive fear of the unseen. Make a conscious effort to discover and embrace the unfamiliar - to view the unknown not as a lurking monster, but as a glorious adventure.
