See the Special Thing Right There in Front of You

I moved my desk and I can now see a small tiny sliver of the ocean out the window. I also see the road in my neighborhood and Ocean Drive. Somehow seeing all the hustle of the cars with the faint call of the ocean motivates me to get more done. The cars go back and forth totally ignoring the beautiful ocean just steps from where they drive makes the ocean even more special to me. Somehow the vastness of the sea makes all of my dreams seem tangible. Seeing how huge the ocean is makes my dreams seem small and that makes them seem attainable. I feel like I can just reach out and grab whatever I want because if something as huge as the sea can exist in all of its misunderstood, hard to wrap my mind around how big it is way, then my goals are tiny morsels of yumminess that I can hold easily in my hand. I write more, I read more, I think more and laugh more when I can see the ocean. 

It isn’t the ocean or beach in terms of vacationing or sand or salt air, but it truly is the giant almost living organism of the ocean that makes me feel free to have big goals and achieve them. It is the knowledge that something so large exists that allows me to dream big.
