The Sky Below

Spectacular achievements are always preceded by unspectacular preparation. —Roger Staubach

The ISS orbits the planet every ninety minutes and has been continuously occupied since November 2000. At the time of publication, more than two hundred people from fifteen countries have visited.[26]

The things in life that come to us the hardest mean the most.

Dreams without a plan and a purpose get left behind in the rush of daily life.

If you are ready for the call of opportunity when it rings, and you are willing to put in the work required, it’s remarkable how dreamlets emerge, tangible, from the fog of unrealized dreams. It’s really not all that hard if you aren’t afraid to stumble every once in a while and then get back up. And back up. And back up again.

Everything is possible until proven impossible, and then you just need to become more creative.
