“You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

“Nothing that results in human progress is achieved with unanimous consent. Those that are enlightened before the others are condemned to pursue that light in spite of the others.”

“Goals are simply tools to focus your energy in positive directions, these can be changed as your priorities change, new one added, and others dropped.”

“One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”

“It is easy to discover what another has discovered before.”

~Christopher Columbus

We live in a time where so many people hug the shoreline, looking for safety when none exists.

We have ideas we never act on and thoughts we never share.

We die slowly in our desire for security, never losing sight of the shoreline.

Then, we lament our misery and express our dismay, all because we had no courage to make a different choice.

As Columbus points out, nothing will is achieved with unanimous consent.

You may fail.

You will also fail if you never try.
