Moon

Take a childlike approach to the world. When a child runs around a room or a park, they naturally use the elements around them to suit whatever they need in the moment. A spoon becomes a phone. A blanket becomes the roof of a fort. The child doesn’t see these objects only for what they were designed to be; they see them as solutions to a problem, tools for their imagination, or materials for creating something new. Your next step doesn’t have to be some grand transformation. It can simply be the next brushstroke on the canvas. One small action can move you forward.

Look at what is around you—and what is within your reach—and ask: What can I do with this right now?

We spend so much time looking up at the moon, that we forget to notice the staircase that get us there.

There is something comforting about knowing that an object in motion is difficult to stop. Perhaps the same is true for us. Maybe I don’t have to know exactly where I’m going in order to keep moving in the right direction.

Not having the solution doesn’t mean I’m lost. It just means I’m still walking toward it. And that is something worth being proud of.
