Do Great Things
We all want to do great things with our lives. We want to reach the end of our life and know that we didn’t waste time; we didn’t squander the days and hours we had; we didn’t mosey through life and not really do anything. I love the poem Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson. It […]
Just keep swimming
In 2003 the movie Finding Nemo came out. Dory, the forgetful fish, often says “just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, what do we do we swim.” This has become a mantra for many overworked, overwhelmed and frankly just exhausted people; just keep swimming.
