I took this picture of a rock in the garden of a great man who passed away in 2015. He was an adventurer, and a true pioneer in aviation and medicine. His home has a large museum on site dedicated to his many inventions and achievements.

After an amazing day at the museum I found a beautiful garden spot in which to sit and reflect on the impact this individual has made in the world. I looked down, and there was this message on one of the rocks. It really made me think about my own life, and about what dreams I had let fall by the wayside as the daily tasks of living and raising a family had pushed in.

I decided from that point on to keep the message of the rock at the forefront of my life. My next article will explore the message of the rock in greater detail. For now, my dear reader, I hope you will consider what the message of the rock means to you.

Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for giving me a little bit of your time!

Thanks, @steemitboard! I like this little bit of encouraging feedback!

That rock definitely got some powerful message. I'm thinking about what I would do and so many options just randomly appear in my mind. Incredible. :D

Sometimes it's easier to say than done. Fear of failure can be strong sometimes.

You are so very right. That's why we need to encourage one another, and believe for people when they can't believe for themselves. We can help children grow up without this fear, too.
