And suddenly, one remains.
Or, one could say Year of the Sunrise is now 99.726% complete.
Any moment now, the tears are going to start flowing. It could be in the next minute, even seconds. It might be close, or maybe those are just melted snowflakes from my walk to The Crib. Or it could happen tonight, when I wake up, live on TV6 morning news, at sunrise with other lovely people, or while having a sunrise mimosa to wrap this thing up.
I’m still speechless. I’m still moved. I still believe this venture has had immeasurable amount of impact on my way of life and outlook.
Beyond a few alarm clocks, learning a few camera tricks, generating some press, and making a killer website, there are other lessons that come along with this that presumably, hopefully, will stick with me forever.
That is building a skillset of willpower
Building on the skillset of willpower, commitment, and perservence. You learn these, and much, much more can be accomplished.
This isn’t particularly new to me. But it further strengthens those skills and I hope to turn it into something much more one day.
With many things, I’ve struggled to say yes. I give a lot of maybes. I say a lot of nos to social situations. But when I give a yes, you’re going to get the full commitment. That’s certainly not to say a full commitment is always enough, but it’s my full commitment, it’s the best of my ability. And that’s all we can do.
