And so I realized that I had a responsibility to more than just me, and that I was going to have to change. You know, we can do it. I was going to have to change. And I was afraid to change, because I was so used to the guy who only just walked. I was so used to that person that I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t know who I would be if I changed. But I know I needed to. I know I needed to change, because it would be the only way that I could be here today. And I know that a lot of times we find ourselves in this wonderful place where we’ve gotten to, but there’s another place for us to go. And we kind of have to leave behind the security of who we’ve become, and go to the place of who we are becoming. And so, I want to encourage you to go to that next place, to let yourself out of any prison that you might find yourself in, as comfortable as it may be, because we have to do something now.

Hanging on for dear life | Darlinghurst Nights There’s a tree halfway up Crown Street, Surry Hills, on the wall of the Salvation Army shop building.

BLACK THURSDAY In this photo taken by a farmer, ash spewed from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. At least 100 flights between the U.S. and Europe were canceled and more in Europe over fears that ash would damage plane components. (Photo: Whitehotpix/ZUMA Press via the Wall St. Journal)
Wishing two things right now:
1) that there were a better picture of this AWESOME hidden playroom, and
2) that I had one in my home.
So cool.
