It is a bittersweet day and our last day here in San Diego,
California. We will be saying goodbye to the Pacific Ocean, the birds of
paradise, palm trees, and warm weather. Out of all of the places we have been I
have found the most peace within myself when I watch the beauty of the way
ocean never stops kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it is sent
away along with the incredibly resilient waves and the vastness. The ocean
makes me feel tiny when I am sitting there in the warm sand and it makes me put
my life into perspective in this uncharted territory. This is all so new to me
when you’re doing something new, of course there are going to be mistakes made
along the way. When being a leader you are going to make a wrong decision or
failures, sometimes there is going to be no way to avoid it. We all need to be
like the ocean that never stops coming back to the shoreline, it is resilient
as we should be with our mistakes and risks. We don’t want to keep making the
same mistakes. Soon enough I will be back to the coast. I have been making the
same mistake for to long and it is finally time to learn from them. I have been
accustomed to a routine, convincing myself it is impossible to accomplish
certain dreams, and have been to afraid to hurt and abandon those that I love
dearly. It is time to take more risks that scare me, that tests my spirit as
well as my body.
Dear Ocean,
Thank you for making
me feel tiny, humbled, inspired, and salty…...
