at the start, five simple words

"It's a matter of discipline," the little prince told me. "When you are finished washing and dressing each morning, you must tend to your planet." - from Le Petit Prince (Antoine de Saint Exupery)

I simply want my world to be a better place.

My world can be defined in many ways... on a grander scale, I suppose it could literally mean the world, but I'm starting small. I'm starting with just me. And from there, maybe everything in my immediate grasp will see noticeable positive change. But for now... just for now... I want to make an effort to continue to do good things with my time.

Whenever I'm faced with a challenge, my mother always has the same five words of advice for me: "Left foot, right foot, breathe." Very simple instructions, and if I repeat those words in my head like a mantra, I find myself getting from Point A to Point B.

The journey begins here.
