My recent trip to the Grand Canyon was awe inspiring - the shades of color like a painter's palette, the white river rapids deep down in the gorge, the bright green shrubs that thrive despite the arid earth.

This magical land was gradually created over centuries, through the relationship of heat building mountains and rivers carving ravines. It was truly a wonder – and, for the moment, put life in perspective. Change can take a very long time. But if you keep at it and try different ways to make it happen, the results can amaze.

Perhaps travel is not a priority for you - neither feasible nor interesting. But consider the possibility of doing more of whatever it is that you find inspiring and motivating. You owe it to yourself.
