Jump start your day without hesitation. Get up off your feet and spring to action! Why not jump at the chance of opportunities as quickly as you can rather than wait and methodically think about it for the it could be gone before you finish thinking!
This child mesmerized me at the Dallas Arboretum yesterday. All he did was jump off the rock. I could tell he was happy, having the time of his life. We were designed to move, have fun, and try new things. Trying and succeeding is liberating! I was motivated by his actions. If I could have traded places, I would!
What would get you motivated to jump off your rock today? We were created to achieve and keep moving. There were many babies and children at the Arboretum enjoying the warmer weather here in Dallas, Texas. All were moving, babies in buggies thrashing their arms around, kids running ahead of parents, skipping and jumping - they were moving! In the process of moving they were discovering and embracing life to the fullest. In other words, kids were being themselves and they brought joy into my life. Kids are a symbol of hope!
The longer I watched the kid jump over the rock the more confidence I saw in him. He was developing strength, courage, improvement, and he was hitting his mark! As an observer, even though it may have looked like a contest, he was the only contestant and he was winning! This child was in pursuit of his dreams and for just this one moment in time he didn't miss. Vicariously, I was too! Sometimes, you just have to let go and see what happens.
