The inaugural post.

Ahhhh....

freedom!
free falling
open parachute
dive
hit the water
plunge
go deep
feel the weight
sink into my feet
and here we go
running!

This post was inspired by one of the best things humans have wrought through the internet, TED talks online. Today's inspirational talk - Elizabeth Gilbert's talk on genius. http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html

Many who have grappled with achieving and felt the pressure of continuing to achieve will likely get something from this.

"Just show up and do your job."

Achievement, or in Gilbert's case, genius, will arrive on its own. Large, monolithic, bigger-than-you achievement isn't your job to produce. Your job is to show up and do what you love to do, and if something more wants to show up, it will.
