Today Is: Fortune Teller Day


My little sister (from the Big Brother Big Sister program) having her first taste of ice cream of the future!

"If you cannot accurately predict the future, then you must flexibly be prepared to deal with various possible futures." -- Edward de Bono

What is it about your younger years that you seem to dive into the unknown much easier than you do as you get older? Maybe it's because your worries are greatly about insignificant matters, or because your responsibilities are much less daunting, it could be because you know that if you fall out of the nest your not far from the tree, or maybe, just maybe, you haven't felt what true failure feels like. Your heart hasn't become bitter today because of tomorrow's yesterdays. No matter what the reason I long for the days when I think like a kid again. Willing to dive effortlessly headfirst into the unknown just to see what I might find on the other side and if it turns out to be disappointment; dust myself off and start again tomorrow. I cannot predict the future so I may as well climb aboard and enjoy the ride.

"Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent." -- Nolan Ryan

"The soft minded always fears change. He feels security in the status quo, and he has an almost morbid fear of the new. For him, the greatest pain, is the pain of a new idea." -- Martin Luther King Jr.

"Ever wonder... ask questions and live into the answers." -- Kobi Yamada
