Empower yourself for change

Explore. Dream. Discover.

A literary minded client considering change in his life quoted Samuel Johnson the other evening:

"He is no wise man who will quit a certainty for an uncertainty." - Samuel Johnson

It makes sense doesn't it? Stick with what you know or be labeled a fool. That's enough to make you hesitate.

In a particularly explosive literary moment I countered with the following (actually I had to look it up on the Internet, but I had the jist of it):

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Two equally brilliant world views. One more inviting of change.

Have a great day.
