we want something to happen to us
we realize no one else is going to make it so for us
we decide to embark on a voyage
we decide to embark on a voyage
we choose to become the captain of our vessel of discovery
.
we seek a voyage in order to discover
a new land,
a new opportunity,
a new friend,
a new love,
a new life,
a new self
.
we decide to venture out beyond our present horizon
we build our boat
we set our course
.
we take responsibility for our destiny
we do not not blame others
we do not wait on others to determine our future
it is our journey
our voyage
we decide to embark on our adventure in order to grow
and change
and expand our horizons
we are the captain of our vessel of uncertain destiny
.
we use the tools needed for our journey
our sextant,
our compass,
our telescope,
our log book
we pilot our ship to get us to our intended destination
.
we sail during the day
the weather might be perfect
there might be a storm or
we might drift a bit off course if we aren’t paying attention
we might become uncertain
we remind ourself to let go of the worry
we focus instead on what is in front of us now
we check our gauges again and again
we reset our course as it pertains to where we are at the moment
on the sea
in our vessel of uncertain destiny
.
at night, our destination is not so clear
we decide to lock our course
we rest a bit as we sail across a moonlit ocean
we awake to a new day
we check our instruments
we course correct as necessary
.
we enjoy piloting our vessel
we believe we are doing something
.
we enjoy piloting our vessel
we believe we are doing something
we know that it is between us
the sea,
the boat,
the sea,
the boat,
the moon,
the winds,
the cosmos
.
the winds,
the cosmos
.
our journey is not controlled by another
and we don’t get distracted by others
because it is our voyage to discover
and our dreams to recover
.
.
on a vessel of discovery

a post: “what you have to create in the world is so much bigger then your fears” ~
a reply: “That’s all very cool. But fighting for my dreams and then having to worry about things that someone says it will take care, those don’t give me fear but worries and distracts me from my goals. Conclusion: in our world what we create or say we create has an impact on other’s, and if little things can t be done I wonder about the dreams!!!”

embarking on a journey alone can be frightening so you may decide to rely on others to try and achieve your goals which renders you nearly powerless. but if you do muster the courage to venture out into an unknown sea, remember the advice of Hunter S. Thompson you can call on God (or others), but row away from the rocks.

APROPOS quotes:
You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. ~Mary Manin Morrissey
.He who fears something gives it power over him. ~Moorish Proverb
.Of all the people I have ever known, those who have pursued their dreams and failed have lived a much more fulfilling life than those who have put their dreams on a shelf for fear of failure. – Author Unknown
.Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. – Ambrose Redmoon
.Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. – Dale Carnegie
.The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. – H. P. Lovecraft
.There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear. ~George S. Patton
.Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. – Marianne Williamson
.To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. ~Bertrand Russell
.Fear cannot take what you do not give it. ~Christopher Coan
.Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is. ~German Proverb
.If a man harbors any sort of fear, it percolates through all thinking, damages his personality and makes him a landlord to a ghost. ~Lloyd Douglas
.Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light? ~Maurice Freehill

If I lose my direction, I have to look for the North Star, and I go to the north. That does not mean I expect to arrive at the North Star. I just want to go in that direction.~Thich Nhat Hanh
