“You keep sending out these little paper boats, and hope that someday one will come back laden with gold.” ~Glen Hansard, principal songwriter and vocalist/guitarist for Irish group “The Frames,” born April 21, 1970.
Ouch! Sometimes, guilty as charged. Why is it we are always looking for the easy way out? Why do we hope we can get rich by buying a lottery ticket? Why do we think that we can have a great relationship without working on it every day? Why do we think we can get that job promotion when we are disengaged in our current position? Why do we think that we can get more out of life than we put into it?
If you want your ship to come in, you’ll have to invest in something bigger, stronger and otherwise more reliable than a paper boat. Invest in yourself — your education, your community and your attitudes. ~ Annette Lavigne
Thank you to Annette Lavigne who shared this with me nearly 2 years ago. I hope it floats your boat.
