Lovely morning. We don’t know where the limits to our abilities lie. And when we think outside the box, when we let our imagination and creativity run wild, we can see that the possibilities are endless. It would be nice to be able to make use of the originality of each person, instead of everyone doing the same thing, as so many people do, jumping on the latest fashion bandwagon or dabbling in the latest fad.
But whatever you do, please do not forget the basics. It is important to remember this. Just as a ballet dancer always takes barre lessons, a pianist always practices scales and cadences, a football player always practices running and lifting. Basics. If you neglect the basics, the things that are fundamentally important to you, or if you continue to do things in a casual way, even though there are no basics to begin with, it is clear that you will eventually fall apart. If you have the basics as your axis, if you have a solid base, and if you take care of it, you can arrange it in an infinite number of ways.
Although the days are still cold, the sunshine sometimes reminds us of the coming of spring, and when we look up at the sky, the cherry trees are getting ready to bloom. This is the time to think about what you have been working towards, where you started, what your initial intentions were, what is at the root of what you are doing now, and whether your heart feels joy when you do it. New school year, new school, new company, new work environment, new relationships, new beginnings, but if we can go about our days with what we value most in our hearts, we will find new discoveries, new encounters, new insights, new relationships, new possibilities that will light up your promising future.
