"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it." – Pablo Picasso

God bless Picasso. What an artist! Even if you don't like/love his art, the sheer breadth of IT - his talent, his productivity, his evolution, his transition from style-to-style, his inventiveness, his wit/passion/focus...are admirable and enviable.

It seems the people I most admire are people like this: dedicated, focussed, disciplined, passionate, productive, accomplished and accomplishing. People/artists/writers/filmmakers/business men/women/leaders, etc -- who are out to make a difference and who create a whole BODY of work/life/accomplishments. People who touch and change the world by their having been here!

I aspire to these lofty heights...and yet I know that I have been rather complacent and slow to the task. And yet, I have accomplished a lot in my already 46-years. And now it seems, I am accomplishing even more. It's funny how it takes a life to get to living a life you/I want. All that I have done/been has put me in a place to do/be that which I am up to now...THANK GOODNESS...and therefore, all that has happened, good / bad / indifferent has served a great purposes.

TEACHING! TRAINING! DEVELOPING ME...to become the man I am becoming.

I hope...no I AM up to this task/challenge.
