Beginnings

As Goes the Sun.
What do I mean with that enigmatic little phrase? Good question.
The sun is never changing direction. It has, at least to our perspective, one direction only: forward. It does not pause in its progress nor reverse direction. It is constant, steady, and dependable, and yet - it is never in the same place. It moves in an orbit of its own around the galaxy, constantly heading forward. 
I believe there's a lesson in that. We are allotted a set, if unknown, number of days, with some having less than others. We may have different ideas about progress, and our desires may point us to different destinations. That is immaterial to me. All that matters is that we push forward toward those goals with steadiness and sureness, using our time as best as we are able.

That's the theme of this blog-thingy. Life is an open opportunity, and we are largely rewarded according to the effort we spend seizing it. 

So I'm going to write about that. I'll write out my goals, share inspirational stories, say what I learned that day, report on my progress and maybe even do some good along the way - as goes the sun.

Carpe Diem Everyone.

  1. Excellent analogy. The sun has only one object - moving forward. That can be used as a motivator to us when times get tough. When we feel like giving up, we can say to ourselves, "As goes the sun".
