Little Is Much
A seed in your hand now is a forest on your land tomorrow. But in your hand also lies two important things, decision and consequences. If you decide that the seed needs to be planted and taken care of, you can enjoy the benefits years down the line. But if you choose not to, you know the consequences of that decision too. You have the power to set the destiny of that seed in motion. Will you just stare at it long enough for someone to come and do it for you? Or are you looking at its size and other physical conditions and questioning your decision?

My First Time Skiing and I Got Lost, Alone, in the French Alps
Looking back, I can trace some of my life’s biggest adventures to a simple action from my sister. She’d introduced me to Tommy (a very long time ago), a colleague of hers, who had overshared his penchant for Italian-looking women, and I ticked that box.
