THE ROAD LESS EXPECTED

Sometimes the point isn't to advance. Sometimes it isn't even to move at all. Sometimes it isn't to do more or do different. Sometimes it isn't to earn more or get more or achieve more. Sometimes it isn't to make yourself somebody else's definition of better or even your own definition of better. Or deliver on somebody else's dream. Or meet somebody else's need. Sometimes the point isn't to escape to grass that looks greener. Sometimes it isn't to run the race, let alone win it.

Sometimes the point is to relentlessly and selfishly embrace the opportunity you already have, right where you stand, to make a dent in the expected.
