People sometimes get confused about what they are. WE are more than the sum total of the things we have done in the past. We also are what we are capable of doing in the future. We can do something different at any time and then that also has to be put in the mix. That is why dreams are important. Goals and Dreams and Schemes.
My brother lives part time in Soap Lake. Soap Lake is a tiny town with a big idea. An artist named Brent Blake had an idea for a Lava Lamp that would be sixty feet high that would act as a tourist attraction and maybe help some of the small business owners in the tiny town to do better. A noble idea. After years of trying to make that happen it looked like it was impossible, then my brother figured out a way to make it a reality and now it is going to be built.
Who knows what the impact will be on this little community willing to do something pretty extraordinary. Will it bring business and prosperity to a small town in the middle of a desert?? The results don’t matter. How can you fail by doing something this outrageous and bold? Do you think no one will come see it? I doubt it. People love new things. Especially new weird things. Bold things. It gives us all courage to tackle our own fear launching out. We think well if they can do that maybe my idea can be done too! We all benefit from courageous acts – no matter where we find them.
