Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. – A quote by Theodore Roosevelt

Gray twilight… not a place where JOY exists.  Gray twilight says to me daily grind, reacting… coming from a place where you are totally at the effect of circumstances.  Circumstances like not enough time, not enough money, and lots and lots of SHOULDS.

Notice today when you are in the gray twilight.  Notice first.  Then physically shake it off… shrug your shoulders or wiggle in your seat a bit.

Find your way back to a place of choice.

You might ask yourself, “What commitment brings me to take this action?”  Sometimes, simply presencing ourselves to the “mighty things” we are committed to, brings us back out of the gray into the color.

If you can’t seem to presence yourself to a commitment, choose something different.  Choose to “dare mighty things”.  You’ll be delighted and surprised at the color and the JOY that’s available from that place.
