i read this last night, and it struck me, so i thought i'd share it with you:
Opportunity is nowhere. Opportunity is now here.
shift your perspective. sit in a different place in the company lunchroom. go commando when you usually wear granny panties. take a different route to work. try the fiddleferns on the menu. opportunities might present themselves through the teeny tiny cracks you couldn't see from where you've been sitting. sometimes it just takes a subtle movement. i mean, look what happens to the phrase above with one tiny tap on the spacebar.
suddenly the night sky opens up and stars tumble in.
i've been trying to do this lately. make tiny changes to shift my perspective eeeeever so slightly. i hate it. i resent it. i hate change. change is terrifying. change is excruciating. i hate change, but i also know that change is necessary. i think i also read somewhere, and i may have even posted about it on this blog already, but again... and i paraphrase, if you're not changing, you're dead. i hate change, but i hate the idea of being dead more. change is LIFE. best to get comfortable with it. or maybe it's best to get comfortable with being uncomfortable with change.

can't recall where i read this: "following the exact same routine day after day is like living only one day your entire life."
i paraphrase. but the gist struck home with me.
man i hate the IDEA of changing, but once forced (yes, definitely forced) to do so...FREEDOM. and i love it, but sure enough, given the chance, i slip right back into my rut.
