Day 14

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I read this in the agenda of a meeting I attended today regarding professional development. I've been thinking about it ever since. How will I know who I'm supposed to be if I haven't claimed it?

Innovation and inquiry inspire me. It's why I ask questions which are probably more interesting than the answer, or which have no answer at all. I have ideas and tend to just put them out there, just in case they stick. The execution isn't as important.

Potential inspires me. A box of unassembled furniture, a fresh set of crayons on the first day of school, the first page in a notebook. I like the idea of a fresh start and a blank canvas. It's equally scary because there's room for awesomeness and suckage. 

Happy endings inspire me. Especially the ones I know are coming in movies I've seen or are predictable. It just means I have to wait for it.

I'm inspired by intellect. The brain is amazing. The talent it produces. Re malfunction it experiences. Who made all that up? Science or spirit? The fact that it just is, inspires me. There's all of this stuff, everywhere and I get to be a part of it.
