Thinking Out Loud ~ It’s Okay to be Different
Today’s Thinking Out Loud reflection on Richard Bach’s, Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
“Why, Jon, why?” His mother asked. “Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, John? Why can’t you leave low flying to the Pelicans, the albatross? Why don’t you eat? Son, your bone and feathers!”
“I don’t mind being bone and feathers, mom. I just want to know what I can do in the air and what I can’t, that’s all. I just want to know.”
“. . . This flying business is all very well, but you can’t eat a glide, you know. Don’t you forget the reason you fly is to eat.
Note: We hear the words, “Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock” throughout our lives if we try to be different. If we try to be different in the workplace people question us. If we are the only person to ask why, people will look at us and wonder what is wrong perhaps we need a psychological evaluation. It takes courage to move away from the crowd. It takes courage to be an independent thinker and to act on what one believes is the correct course of action. Great ideas usually don’t come from the group, they come from the edge where group members seldom visit.

Poem for Today ~ On The Hills of Dawn
On The Hills of Dawn
Alexander Posey
Behold, the morning-glory’s sky-blue cup
Is mine wherewith to drink the nectar up
That morning spills of silver dew,
And song upon the winds that woo
And sigh their vows
Among the boughs!
Behold, I’m rich in diamonds rare,
And pearls, and breathe a golden air;
My room is filled with shattered beams
Of light; my life is one of dreams,
In my hut on
The hills of dawn.
Positive Thought For Today ~ Keep on Walking
“Without water drops, there can be no oceans; without steps, there can be no stairs; without little things,
there can be no big things!”
NOTE: It important to have big dreams and challenging goals. Once we have them, it’s the small, daily steps we take toward our dreams and goals that are important. The steps we take separate those who do and those who don’t. Those who do set distractions and discouragement aside and continue taking the small steps. Those who don’t are easily discouraged and see the distance as too great to travel. Take small steps, one after the other. Don’t quit. Keep believing. Before you know it, you’ll have completed your journey.
Positive Thought of the Day ~ Surprise Yourself
“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”
NOTE: Still the negative voices. Ignore them when they scream at you. Act like the salmon who swim upstream to spawn. Put your face into the wind and keep moving. Nothing can stop you from chasing your dream if you keep chasing it. Who knows, one day you may surprise yourself and all the doubters.
