I was watching an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - you know the show where they come in and tear down some deserving persons home and rebuild a house, and often save and rebuild lives?
The show where the deserving persons life is usually so hard, so desperate, so bleak, yet they some how find the light is the darkness?
The show that has me in floods of tears - every. single. episode!
Anyway I digress (and really what else is new?) on this one show, the father says something like 'I teach my kids to shoot for the moon, and if they miss grab a star instead'.
How awesome is that? It really resonated with in me, and I had a moment of extreme clarity. There is no best or worst, there is no first and last and there is no succeed or failure. You aim high - and sometimes you need to grab a star instead.
So this is what I was immediately inspired to create and I ignored everything to finish her. I will frame her and put her some where to remind me - lasso the stars.
Have you ever had such a moment of clarity? What did you become inspired to do? I would love to hear your stories.
