Grounded


It can often be useful and interesting to wander away from
your original path for a while. Sometimes you discover a new
and much more fulfilling direction that way.

Yet if all you ever do is wander off, you won't be able to
get anywhere. When you give in to every distraction, nothing
will ever get accomplished.

Be curious, be open to new experiences, be willing to do
things you've never done, to go new places and to meet new
people. Remember, though, to also give your life a solid,
steady context through which you can create real value out
of all the diverse experiences that come your way.

A stable foundation in your life does not necessarily have
to limit you. In fact, it can enable you to make the most of
the new and interesting opportunities that come your way.

Being well grounded provides a strong base from which you
can operate with effectiveness and confidence. Taking good
care of the mundane and boring aspects of life gives you the
time, energy and resources to fully explore the most
exciting possibilities.

Be sure to mix your progressive, adventurous vision with a
good dose of old fashioned common sense. It's a proven
recipe for outstanding success.
