“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Yesterday night, I was having a conversation with my friend and we noticed how we were being passive about a lot of our goals. I noticed that when I was younger, I would think I had all the time in the world to get started on my goals. Now I feel that I know better, and that knowing that I want to do these things is no longer enough, I have to put my plan into action. It’s almost like looking back at the last 20 years and putting together the pieces, learning from the experiences and applying them to the pursuit of our goals. This is all part of the self-renewal project, and I am happy to know I am not the only one. My friends  and I also feel as thought all of a sudden we are 18, in the sense that we are sitting with a blank canvas ready to create the next stage of our lives again.
